I don't understand any of that, whatever happened to that nice James Burke, he could explain complicated stuff really nicely to O level science failures like me.

We've got Brian Cox now. The only "expert" on telly who leaves me as clueless after his explanation as I was before it

The universe might be about to collapse or it might not. It might be about to happen sooner rather than later. it might have already started somewhere. Mmmmmmh? That is one mighty piece of research.

What utter bollox.
Quote:The universe would begin to contract and eventually compact into a small hard ball - a similar state to the pre-Big Bang.
If anything shows a wholesale misunderstanding then it's that gem.
* You can't have the universe as "a small hard ball", as if you did, then what would be outside this "small hard ball"?
* We have no real clue what "was" pre-Big Bang - but I'd be pretty sure it wasn't some steady state "small hard ball". And there is absolutely no theory I've ever heard of that such a pre-Big Bang state ever existed.
* They seem to be talking about something happening to matter. But what about dark matter and dark energy, that make up over 90% of the universe? Nobody has any real clue as to what those even are; how can you predict that they would go into a "small hard ball"?
Mind you the research is great for one "first" - they've got caveats on their caveats!
