    Big bang Entropy
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the implications of entropy in the context of the big bang and big crunch theory. It questions whether entropy can continue to increase until the big crunch and how this might affect subsequent big bangs. The idea of a repeating cycle suggests that entropy could be reset with each cycle, leading to a rebirth of matter as hydrogen and helium. Concerns are raised about whether life and stars could emerge in future cycles if entropy accumulates. The conversation highlights the complexities of cosmic cycles and the potential limits on the emergence of life.

OK the question is this. if we say the big bang big crunch module is true and entropy increases over time is there a set law to say it won't increase to the end of the big crunch, and if it dose will it affect the next big bang, if so could this be the only or last big bang that contained life, suns etc. i probably misinterpreted the info but can anyone help with the problem.

If there were a repeating cycle of big bangs and big crunches, I would assume that entropy would be "reset" each time with the destruction of all matter and it being reborn again as hydrogen/helium.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
