Alright, I'm writing this rant (and in the 'rants' catagory, no less) with absolutely no idea where I'm going to go with it. Past this sentance, nothing is planned out.

Which does leave the question "what do I do if I can't think of anything to write?"

Perhaps I should post an old short story from High-school I wrote about how to deal with writers block. That'd be interesting.

Or high-school short stories in general. I also wrote one about a race working so hard to save the universe that the prevented the big crunch and left everything in a sort-of stasis, an eternal equilibrium that they trapped existance in by accident. Implausable, I know, but messing with the end of the universe does tend to be a difficult thing. Primarily because really, it's so long. Even if there is a big crunch, it'll be after a long wind-up, and it's looking more and more like that's not the case, in which case it'll be a really long time.

Unless it doesn't. End, that is. To name a handful of theories, in a true void (a vacuum isn't a true void- there's energy flying through it all the time. By the standards of the predicted history of the universe, a lot of energy), the scale of quantum events will expand. A black hole can disolve because of something related to that, dubbed 'hawkings radiation' because that's what it does- make radiation. But basically, +1 and -1 = 0, so if you have a true void, or 0, that equals both +1 and -1. Now, if '1' is the size of the universe... you might have something there.

Or entropy could just reduce the functioning energy level of the universe, but it doesn't matter anyway because it's just possible that the nature of particles is fractile, with atoms being made of electrons and protons, electron and protons being made of quarks, quarks being made of some other particle some physicists are working on... a lot of stuff. Each step may be smaller, but you end up with a ton of particles. As everything expands, entropy causes the universe as we know it to kinda peter out, atoms expand and weaken... and you have as many as one of the smaller particle types as there are now atoms, collected within a tiny space that no longer has to be tiny as the forces that hold it together have degraded and spread out, you may be talking about something that, despite having less total energy than me typing this 'm', is capable of functioning as a universe....

Weird, isn't it? That last one's mind, by the way. It got me worshippers.

The universe we live in is truly an amazing place, even if all the above and the dozen or so other theories (or more properly 'hypothesizes', since we don't have too much evidence behind them) are wrong. It's amazing because it contains all these thoughts and makes us think of all these possibilities. Don't you agree?
