Comment Dark matter is not all that affects expansion (Score 1) 231

You might be interested to know that researchers in Japan are discovering more and more evidence that neutrinos might have mass (albeit very small). If this is true, and as neutrinos are the most abundant particle in the universe, this will no doubt affect the expansion of the universe somehow, though how I haven't done enough thought on yet. My personal theory is that both the 'ever expanding universe' and the 'big bang, big crunch' theories can co-exist. If we imagine the universe like a ring donut shape, the hole in the middle is the place where the 'big bang' happened. On one half of the donut, the whole acts as the 'energy emitter' we expect from the big bang. It appears as if we are moving away from other objects in our galaxy because the 'energy emitter' is pushing us away. Simple enough. Now here is where my theory gets a little strange, either in a symbiotic alternative universe, or in something I will explain in minute, is the other side of the 'donut'. Here the 'object' that produces the 'big bang' is acting like a 'black hole'. This kind of link between 'big bang' and 'black holes' comes from some of the work that Steven Hawking has done, that suggests such a link could exist. All of the matter in this universe is being sucked in, coming out on the other side of the 'black hole', i.e. where the big bang took place. Here's the hard bit to swallow. When the matter in the normal side of the universe, i.e. the 'big bang' side, gets to the 'edge' of the donut, it does not go on getting further away from the 'donut hole', but instead gets pulled in by the 'black hole side', and so the loop continues. I have not decided yet whether the donut gets bigger or not, because I have not looked at this from the point of view of conservation of energy, but I will do soon. Again, I must stress this is only a theory, but you can't admit it is not bad for someone who is only 16! Please no flaming. When was the last time any of the rest of you put anything as radical up as this? Never, I bet, so you cannot criticise. (Sorry!)
