Hi,
Given that the universe is a closed and isolated system, suppose it should satisfy the following equation:
EP+EK=constant.
However, it appears to be that it is impossible that the energy of the universe can be constant after all. Specific higher dimensional theories (such as String/M-Theory) predict that gravity can leak through higher dimensions and so called p-branes due to its special properties (roughly speaking closed loop strings cannot be attached to the p-branes because there are no loose ends). Thus, energy of the universe is variable because it simply leaks.
I would also like to point out the fact that QM may have parallel universes. This could have an impact of the total energy of the universe as well, primarily because the gravity may leak from such universes to our one.
Indeed it appears to be that the universe is not isolated at all and the total energy may be increasing or decreasing to that respect.
Thanks for all the responses!
Best regards, Cygni
