I've always liked this theory, imagining the cosmos is just a series/web/tree of black holes draining into the next. Everything gets recycled eventually.
It meshes well with my occasional feeling that reality is just circling the drain.
Clockwise or counterclockwise?
I gave it some thought and got vertigo. I'm going with counterclockwise.
I think it depends if you're in Australia.
note that we're all circling the sun but still not getting closer an inch per year
actually, we are inside the dream of someone else, and that one too is again in a dream ...
Am I a man dreaming I'm a butterfly?
It doesn't answer where it all came from. Whatever theory or religion you choose, there's no answer to this question apart from it suddenly appeared which implies something can be created out of nothing and that creates a whole lot of new questions and possibilities.
It's also just whitehole theory which is possible but we've never seen one and we likely should have by now.
the network of causality is like a big river, and if you follow individual lines, they either lead in circles or they stretch infinitely into the past and future or they spring out somewhere spontaneously
only in the third case is there a "spontaneous creation"
All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake.
