Perhaps we would be crushed into singularity, but it may not be the end. If the Universe returns to it's original state, would everything happen as it did the last time around? So would we be born again, just as we were before? Would we live up until that point where the Universe collapses again? How many times has the Universe done this before? How many lifetimes have we lived but not realised?

Probably a rubbish theory but I find it quite romantic.

Like a cosmic 'Groundhog Day'?

Romantic? I can't think of anything worse!

You don't find it romantic that you've made this post a trillion years ago?

It could explain things like deja vu, psychics etc.

I have another question for someone who knows astronomy. Not someone who thinks they know astronomy, because then I might as well answer my own questions.

Anyways, what's a quasar? The way I understand it is that it's a particularly big black hole at the center of a galaxy - but I'm guessing black holes at galaxy centers is a common feature. Quasars are particularly big? There's some kind of radiation streaming out from the "top and bottom" of it? Why does it do that? Shouldn't all galaxies develop quasars as their black holes swallow more and more mass?

I could look it up I guess, but I figured "why not milk this old thread a little more?" .. So, anyone who knows this stuff?
