Sean Faircloth:
Attack of the Theocrats!
I believe that our universe is made of multiple bounces.
I imagine that black holes keep on feeding and moving through space. Then, it happens to find another black hole, fusing and growing stronger, also keeping on moving.
This could happen again, and again, until the energy density is uncontainable and then exploding, sending matter in all directions.
Meanwhile, as this happened in a sector of the universe, other black holes scattered throughout the universe could create the same phenomenon in another sector.
This way, the universe is not expanding. When you look at the big picture, it is moving matter back and forth. We just notice the expansion because we're part of such an explosion and thus we're too small, or technologically unable, to perceive or observe other explosions.
But, still, where did all this matter came from? How we came to be? How did it all begin?
