			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Big Bang" src="http://startswithabang.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/big-bang.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="120" />Almost three months ago, I wrote an article entitled <a href="http://www.timerecursion.com/maelstrom/life-the-universe-and-everything/" target="_self">Life, the Universe and Everything</a>, which curiously enough, doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with the <a href="http://www.timerecursion.com/black-on-white/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy/" target="_self">Hitch-hiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy</a>, however it gets quite close to some thoughts mentioned in the book. I was talking about the M theory, that is quite popular and widely adopted by scientists trying to explain the creation of our Universe. &#8230; ah, the Universe. It&#8217;s such a nice word, a superlative for everything that we know of. And of course, also very intriguing, and one of the biggest mysteries known to humans.</p>
<p>Through the advancement of science our knowledge has rapidly expanded, and we are able to understand and explain a handful of events and occurrences in space and on our world. One thing however, which is at the same time the most important, and one could also say, the most basic one, rests unexplained.</p>
<p><span id="more-145"></span><img class="alignright" title="Expansion" src="http://snap.lbl.gov/images/bigbang.jpg" alt="" width="349" height="260" />The Big Bang or also The Beginning of everything that we know, care and imagine about has sparkled various theories during the past centuries, and maybe even millenias, which have however not been documented. All of them, from the first to the last agree that the Universe started from a single point, at the beginning of our timeline and then rapidly expanded, forming various groups of objects, that are nowadays recognized as galaxies, star systems, black holes and other seemingly unimportant, but nonetheless vital parts of matter and antimatter.</p>
<p>The conversation goes fine, every-body&#8217;s happy, and there is one nice girl that&#8217;s offering to pay for your drink. But then it comes, all of a sudden, you can&#8217;t help yourself but to ask this question: &#8220;How did the Big Bang happen?&#8221; In the same instant it&#8217;s all over, every-body&#8217;s running on their positions, shooting their theories as long range ballistic missiles at each other from their bunkers, hidden in their labs. Congratulations, you&#8217;ve just transformed a perfectly good evening in a war.</p>
<p>There is an enormous quantity of possible scenarios, and everybody thinks their is more probable than all others combined together. And they might be even right, for all that we know. The sad part is, I&#8217;m bringing you another story without a definite answer, but hey, those are the best, aren&#8217;t they? Anyway, I won&#8217;t leave you with empty hands, this time, though this might not be what you expected to hear.</p>
<p>As I already mentioned <a href="http://www.timerecursion.com/maelstrom/life-the-universe-and-everything/" target="_self">last time</a>, the M theory describes the birth of a Universe as a collision between two, already existing Universes and the result is a new one, a combination of particles from both sides present in this crash of colossal proportions. But this is just one of the many possibilities, which mostly include a source of energy that puts everything in motion. Is that a crash of two Universes, a cyclical effect after the death of a Universe which instantaneously causes the creation of another one, or a source that exists in another timeline and dimension and is responsible for what we are today, we will most likely never know for sure.</p>
