Is Black Hole Critical Mass the Answer to Entropy?
Since the “Big Bang” the universe
seems to be on a path of increasing entropy with small pockets of negative
entropy scattered throughout. Sooner or later though the stars will all grow
dark and entropy will be maximized. But even when all of the universe’s
energy has been used, keep in mind that gravity will still exist and be
working.
Though black holes have been, and
currently are, sucking matter and energy into their depths, they will
continue to do so until there is nothing more within their gravitational
reach. But what happens when black holes reach a certain “critical mass”
(i.e., the mass of dozens or millions of galaxies)? What if it there was a
critical mass for black holes which when reached would cause a cataclysmic
release of concentrated energy and ultimately new galaxies?
This would explain so many
conundrums. For instance if we were having mini-“Big Bangs” which I will
just call “Bangs”, then multiple galaxies could spring forth from massive
black holes an exploding fireworks. So we could have galaxies going off in
different directions from different black holes. If we were trying to
measure if the universe was expanding or contracting, the results could
therefore be everything from an accelerating expansion to an accelerating
contraction, it would depend upon which galaxies we chose for our
measurement. It would also explain the fireworks like distribution of
galaxies that belies a single “Big Bang”.
A critical mass explosion of black
holes could also explain the various ages that we have been getting for the
universe, since different clusters of galaxies would be a different age than
other clusters if they came from black holes which went critical at
different times. To make matters more confusing though, what if the galaxies
from one black hole were to move into the general vicinity of galaxies that
came from a different black hole?
Finally, such a theory could answer
what occurred before a “Big Bang” (or “Bang”), in that our universe did not
begin with a single event but that it is a conglomeration of Bang-black hole
cycles. It could also tell us what the future holds. Rather than our
universe going out of existence once it reached a maximal entropy state,
these Bang-black hole cycles will continue until localized expansion becomes
too great for the gravity of the black holes to accumulate enough
matter/energy for a “critical mass” to occur. Once that happens our universe
would cease to exist in any purposeful manner with nothing but sub-critical
black holes.
The concept of Bang-black hole cycles
would means that our universe could exist with viable galaxies virtually
indefinitely. A much brighter prospect than the current single Big Bang
theory would allow. So fear not, our universe may be far from expanding into
eternal darkness.
