What if objects go toward each other rather than away

AI Thread Summary
If all objects in the universe suddenly stopped, gravity would cause them to collapse toward each other, leading to increased density. This process would not result in a Big Bang but could lead to a scenario known as the Big Crunch, where the universe contracts. As the objects merge, they would likely form black holes before reaching a singular state. The discussion highlights the distinction between a Big Crunch and a Big Bang, emphasizing the universe's potential fate. Ultimately, the universe's collapse would not satisfy into a singular object but rather continue to increase in density.

If we all objects for some reason stop, then by gravity, they will all start submerging w/ each other. Well, what I was wondering is that if that happens, would it be satisfied when everything becomes one, or would it start getting more and more dense till it can't get dense anymore and then big bang?

Interpretation:
"If all the objects in the universe suddenly stopped, and fell toward each other by gravity, would they come to rest once they're all part of one object, or would they begin getting more dense until they can't get any denser, and then form a Big Bang?"
Is that right?

They would begin getting more dense (long before they became one object) and would form black holes.

They would not form a Big Bang, they might form what is better known as the Big Crunch.
 
Hey now...! I just answered this, and here is is again. Little glitch there. Sorry, Dave... you beat me to it, but I didn't realize that the same post was duplicated until I hit this one.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
