Ok, so many people have wondered "when did the universe start, and when will it end?"

 

In my spare time, I jotted down and outlined a theory, which started as a random dream, but it seemed unique enought that I should share it with this forum:

 

Time is often thought to be linear and mono-directional; however, what if we suppose that the entire universe followed time and space in a circle?

 

This Theory explains the idea that the universe could repeat itself in a never-ending cycle, like a clock or a wheel.

 

The diagram shows the beginning and end of each “cycle” and the time in between, where each and every moment is different from that of the last “cycle”, although few events occur as they did last time;this would explain the phenomena known as Déjà-Vu.

 

After billions upon billions of years, the universe as we know it ends, in whatever form that may be, and is returns to a state of matter where the big bang occurs again, enabling a universe to be formed from the remains of the last, and where people are created from remnants of the last cycle, where the mind of the person is wholly new; this would also explain the idea of previous lives in a scientific way.

 

This theory is far from complete, and does not itself explain everything that could be drawn from it; instead, I hope that this serves as a template for others to base their own theory around, or for others to improve on it, and that it could explain many unsolved issues of this universe.

 

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but light is a particle and a wave :P

I have just realised, this should be in the speculation area

Your speculating. We will never know. We have no way of testing. I speculate also. But it is all wishfull thinking. Isn't it. Or assumption.

this would explain the phenomena known as Déjà-Vu.

Déjà-Vu has already been explained.

 

Our visual system has two circuits in the brain. A fast circuit that is used when urgent action is needed. It has very little in the way of processing to it, so identifying specific objects and such is not all that great. The other is a slower path that is the more commonly used one (for when an emergency is not needed). This has more processing done so the information we have about the environment is more rich in information.

 

Now, if urgent action is not needed, the fast circuit is discaded in favour of the information rich slow circuit. If we don't need to act quickly then having more information is a better deal and the fast circuit is suppressed. However if urgent action is needed, then the processing of the slow circuit is canceled so that more resources can be given for the emergency actions.

 

However, somtimes something goes wrong and we get a transitory glitch in this circuit and we don't discard either of the processing circuits. When this happens, we first become aware of the fast circuit feed, and then the slow circuit feed. We experience the same events twice.

 

There are many such delayed action events that occur with our brains. The knee jerk reflex is one example as the reflex occurs quickly after the knee is tapped (this is the fast circuit), but we only become aware of it after it has occurred and the reflex is not due to concious control (this is the slow circuit).
