An Analagous Description of the Perpetual Universe

[zerotwoone]

I want to preface my response with "I could be and most likely am, bat sh!t crazy." Alright I'm going to try to describe an analagous mechanism for this system. Imagine a rubber sheet that is negatively charged. You also have some balls that are negatively charged. If you throw the balls on the sheet, the balls will be repelled. But on the way up, some mysterious force, let's call it gravity, forces these balls to act against their nature and forces them together until some point in time the inherent nature of these balls forces them apart again propelling the balls against the rubber sheet. The balls are then repelled by the sheet and driven up again, gravity takes over, inherent nature takes over, balls propelled toward sheet, etc, etc.

 

When a theoretical physicist explains the big bang, they say people have a misconception, that people think when the big bang happened, they think of an explosion in space, but when in actuality it is an explosion of space. Exactly. The answer was in front of us the whole time.

 

I apologize, I should have explain the setting a little bit more clearly. I was envisioning a perfect system. This system is infinitely complex, but I was trying to make it as simple as possible. I was actually imagining this scenario in a perfect vacuum with no other exterior influences. Just the negatively charged sheet and the negatively charged balls, and the mysterious force known as gravity.
