• Question: Do you think there could have been two Big Bangs, and the two expanding universes will eventually meet, and what do you think could happen when the theoretical "edge" meet eachother?

      Who knows that!! Maybe you could become a theoretical physicist or astronomer and discovery these things! In quantum mechanics, there is a theory that there are 2 or more parallel universes. This theory was used to explain why a particle can exist in two places at one (i.e. it exists in both universes at the same time) and why two particles can be entangled or know exactly where each other are located while existing in these separate universes. But that is just a theory, so who knows!

      A very interesting question. I think it is possible, but who knows.

      There have been some brilliant physics and hypothetical situation Q’s on here. This is another awesome example.

      I think this is part of the Multiverse theory (Check out or google ‘David Deutsch’ for more info) however I don’t know what this theory postulates to happen in the situation that universes meet (if it allows for that??), maybe the universes co-exist in the same space but not time….oh dear, I’m all a-fluster!

      I have literally no idea. I’d like to believe that the two universes would bleed into each other and form some fantastic new star types and elements and galaxies…and I hope Hubble sees it!
