[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] "Maximum entropy" is actually exactly what you'd say if what you were doing is draining the energy from an artificial universe. See, when a universe dies, depending on a particular little constant, it will either go into a Big Crunch, or it will expand out forever until the energy in it is spread so thin that every particle in the universe is almost at absolute zero and has not enough energy to interact with anything else - a long, slow, cold, dark death where the energy content of the universe is at maximum entropy (the most possible 'spread' of energy and the most possible disorder in matter). And bear in mind the artificial universe need not even be contained within the ZPM itself - the ZPM could be the 'umbilical cord' that connects the 'baby'verse to our own universe. Some physicists speculate that's what black holes are, and that energy can only move from the parent to the child (not the other way around). I'm perfectly willing to believe they're wrong - I'm a great believer in paradigm shifts... [/QB][/QUOTE]
