the expansion is in acceleration. That there must be some phase of the Universe where the physical energies are contracting and increasingly orderly. In order to sustain a regenerative Universe, it could not just be all expansive. There have to be collections to balance it, very much as we think of our experiences with the weather. We have low prrssures and high pressures in the atmosphere, and the low pressures are exhausting it by vacuumizing, pulling the energies out of the highs until that low pressure itself forms a high pressure. There is a great pulsative exchange of highs and lows. An I felt that what our physical Universe sumtotally might have is just such a pulsating. I’d be very interested if we could discover some phase of the Universe where the energies are contracting and becoming increasingly orderly.
