Countdown to oblivion: Why Time itself could end.

"eternal inflation."
I have never heard that term before. Interesting article. Also, some good discussion below the article. Don't know if it has any real pratical application. The Multi Verse is kind of like u.f.o.'s or am I mssing something? This reminds me of some of the folks I studied under in college. Or some of the folks I used to drink beer with when I was young looking at the summer sky. 8)

Whoa...I'd like to make an intelligent post about my thoughts on the article. Unfortunately, my brain's gone for a lie down in a dark room after trying to come to grips with the 'thought experiment.'

Dang, I was hoping someone would post something intelligent and thoughtful...like explaining the article to me.:

It's probably very important stuff.

I ran it through Google Translate in case it made more sense...

Shida ilianza mwaka jana, na majaribio ya wazo lililotolewa juu ya kifungua kinywa katika mkutano na Alan Guth ya MIT na Vitaly Vanchurin wa Chuo Kikuu cha Stanford California. Wao kufikiri mazingira ambayo mtu flips sarafu na kuweka alarm kulingana na matokeo.

Nope. Still enough to pan-fry the grey matter.

Ahh, but if I were young again and could do math worth a fart. (There seems to be a little man in my head at a switch. He's fine as long as words and images are flowing through the ole grey matter. But let a number or two come by and he throws the switch and everything just stops) But, I digress. It is conversations like this that make science fun. To infinity and Beyond!

Why not ?

Lets pretend for a moment that modern physics is meeting Mayan high priest knowledge of regenerating multi-verses. The 2012 end is just the deflation of our bubble into a new one with different properties.
