SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the hypothetical possibility of humanity utilizing wormholes or creating new universes as a means of escape from a dying universe. The conversation highlights significant challenges, including the immense energy requirements for replicating a Big Bang and the implications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that usable energy cannot be generated beyond what is available. The participants express skepticism about the feasibility of accessing other universes or generating new ones, emphasizing the limitations imposed by current physical laws.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wormhole physics and general relativity
  • Familiarity with the Second Law of Thermodynamics
  • Basic knowledge of cosmology and the Big Bang theory
  • Awareness of particle accelerators and their capabilities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the theoretical framework of wormholes in general relativity
  • Explore the implications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on energy generation
  • Investigate the concept of multiverses and their scientific basis
  • Learn about the capabilities and limitations of particle accelerators in cosmological experiments
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, science fiction enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of universe exploration and energy dynamics.

Sorry for bringing up this subject again but I'm really just looking for some answers.

This is strictly hypothetical. Suppose, for a moment, that humanity could somehow overcome these problems (disease, war, global warming, terrorism, etc) and advanced to a stage where it was limited only by the laws of physics. Let's say humanity somehow found a way to saturate the universe with intelligence and things like war and disease simply didn't exist. After countless billions of years, as the stars and suns are dying out and the universe becomes colder, what's to stop humanity from escaping to another universe, perhaps by wormhole, or creating a new universe, perhaps in a particle accelerator or
something, and moving into it?

Keep in mind that I'm not talking about going from place to place in this universe, but of going to another one altogether.

o.0 Well, we don't know for certain that there are other universes out there, or that there would be any way to reach them whatsoever. So that would put a damper on the whole wormhole idea.

As for creating a new universe... plenty of things could stop that. Perhaps replicating a Big Bang would require more energy than we could possibly generate in the universe now and throughout the rest of its lifespan. And how would we possibly generate something that existed outside of our own universe?

Furthermore, it wouldn't really help us. Thanks to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, there would be no way to generate more usable energy than we started with, so creating another universe would just use more available resources that much more quickly, hastening the oncoming heat-death.

I guess time is not just like an arrow so we will see what the future holds, I believe wormholes must exist in someway that could explain the ufo sightings and many other stuff.
