Being a non-native speaker of English language who is desperately trying to improve my "listening skill", and coincidentally being a space-thing lover, finding your channel was of one of the greatest fortunes I've found in this vast ocean of UA-cam videos- so what I just wanna say is, thanks a lot John.
@@Robbie-mw5uu You don't read books to improve your listening. Reading and understanding the words on the paper is different than listening to someone speak and understanding what they are saying.
An awesome thought about photons experiencing no time is that, presumably, (especially in the far universe assuming expansion keeps going) there will exist photons that speed out into the darkness without ever encountering matter to be absorbed into. From their perspective, these photons will travel to infinity, endlessly yet instantly.
Actually, whilst a photon doesn't experience time, doesn't mean that photons can instantaneously travel to ant part of the universe. Photons can only travel at the speed of light.
It doesn’t make sense. If it has infinite time then you can guarantee that it will hit something eventually. (That’s how infinity works) because if you can see matter in you region of space you can safely assume that it’s everywhere in an infinite universe. The chances that your region is the only region with matter in an infinite universe is literally 0.
John, I just want to say that I'm always very happy to see a new video of yours appear in my feed. I've been going through a rough patch lately and your video's always bring comfort to me by delving into the magical possibilities of this universe (in which we live...) Thanks for everything and greetings from the NL
Aye, I hear you. Just remember that you are quite possibly one of the most rare possible pieces of the puzzle in this universe. And you also are the universe observing itself. I may sound really really ignorant. But, honestly. I was kinda in a stammer with life. I started to get into drugs super recreationally on my days off with a couple of friends. Talking about seeking out thee best of any drug, responsible aspects are arguable, but it’s tested, multiple ways, it may take a few weeks to obtain different sources of the same drug. But it’s now a kinda cool hobby for me. I’ve always used to be more present with the world. Drugs can definitely be enjoyed. It has actually helped me with really bad times. Cuts addiction’s back as crazy as it sounds. I structured my drug use to change it up. Learn to test everything well, no shooting anything, no smoking rocks of any sort. Different analogs etc… I know you’re gonna do well. You are communicating legitimately telepathically with me in the past. I never said anything. I just slid my finger across an imaginary screen, I use swipe. And you didn’t speak This comment outloud. So if that’s not some kind of telepathic Time Machine, what is? Comments are seriously like close to getting in someone’s head as you’re going to get rn. It’s probably why the internet blows ass.
One of my favorite series of books is Foundation by Asimov. Over the years I have read them many times. Also over the years I have listened to you. Over that time my inner voice of Hari Seldon has become your voice.
One of my favorite bits of sci-fi science has always been wormhole-travel. Part of this is that I sort of think that's the best path we've got toward FTL travel.
Think of it like this. Wormholes are solutions of Einstein’s equations. That means that such a configuration is technically possible. But the problem is as if we were starting a normal chess game and suddenly ended up with all of the white pawns past all of the black pawns. You can set the board up that way to begin with, but given the traditional set up, you’ll never reach that position.
I severely love videos about singularities and especially wormholes, this is exactly what i've needed, thank you for the incredible work & passion you put into these
@@azmanabdula Yeah it's very strange, I love the whole concept of travelling in a wormhole, but the physics behind this concept is purely theoretical & philosophical. I guess this is what still makes it insanely exciting! Humanity has had doubts and said "impossible" to a vast amount of things that we proved to actually be fully possible, maybe this is one of those things?
Dear John (lol), I am an avid listener. I enjoy your top tens. I was wondering what would be your top things that humanity would be remembered for. As of now, we are the first civilization in the universe that we know of. What do you think might make us special? Any advice to an alien civilization that may have detected us already or long after we are gone?
Here are the top ten things we will be remembered for. Number 10 Space Travel. Although we haven't been very far for the most part the Voyager probe left our Solar System and remnants of our probes will survive on the Moon for millions of years Number 9 Nuclear Power. We have created a small piece of the sun in a sustained environment and not only contained but can harvest its energy. It's waste product will persist for a very long time Number 8 Genetic Manipulation. Many animals and plants will show signs of being modified GMOs long into the future. Any alien studying DNA will recognize organisms that are not naturally mutated Number 7 Manipulating the atmosphere. Gasses and elements not appearing in nature will persist for millions of years in our atmosphere. Aliens might wonder if we made the hole in the ozone layer on purpose for some reason Number 6 Architecture. Depending on when humans go extinct and when aliens arrive there could be remnants of certain architecture 10 thousand years into the future Number 5 Moving asteroids and comets. We've done it once with the DART mission but we may do it again as a necessity. Aliens with a vast understand of how bodies move through space will know the trajectory had been altered Number 4 Trash. Plastic does decay but it takes a very long time. What will aliens think of massive piles of Coke bottles and crocs Number 3 ... well dang, I ran out of ideas. This is why I'm not a futurist and science fiction author. Sorry boys, I gave it my best
I absolutely love your content, but your outros are often the highlight of your episodes to me. Probably the only UA-camr where I still tune in for the outro just to hear some funny remark about something that you’re eyeing suspiciously.
This must be one of my favorite videos of yours in a long time. The wormhole, exotic matter, entanglement and tachyon subjects really do mix well. Especially that outro dude, whoa! I felt that 😅 I'm getting old ahead of time... At least you still have your long hair, JMG! I might go bald before I even reach my thirties. Not good for long haired people like us.
Me neither but I pictured it in my mind something like a dyson sphere, built around a black hole, which absorbs energy from accretion disk and Hawking radiation in order to function.
The one thing I keep coming back to that I keep thinking that I cannot figure out is why isn't this channel having like 3 million subs.... Cause without a doubt there's one of Is best channels there is about space
One has to wonder if some amount of primordial negative mass has wound up in the centers of voids throughout the universe. One also would have to wonder what would allow such a material to stick together with itself. Perhaps it would be distributed in thin spherical shells trying to get away from itself and everything else. Great episode! I am so anxious to hear about the next big discoveries. There's really no way to anticipate what we might find and will we even know what we're looking at? I mean, dark energy pushes on everything including space itself and it's everywhere! Lol! Are we in a negative mass universe with little specks of ordinary matter left over? What kind of a weird universe is this anyways?!😮
Light thinks it travels faster than anything, but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. To me, space and time are relative, the more time I spend with my relatives the more space I need. Thanx John L8R 🤠

The double slit experiment is the cause of wormholes, or rather, trying to observe/record photons after they've gone through the double slits is the cause. The collapse of the wave function is a wormhole.
The problem I had with the movie Interstellar. The water planet. The water was a foot deep. You would probably have massive waves on a water planet. But if the water was a foot deep, there almost had to be land somewhere. Unless the planet had no molten core, no volcanism, and no plate tectonics. Then the water could have smoothed the surface so the whole planet was a foot deep. But even then if it was a foot deep at the equator, there would be land at the poles, assuming the planet was rotating. If it wasn't rotating, wouldn't tidal forces cause the water all flow toward the black hole side of the planet? It would have made much more sense if the water were deeper so they couldn't walk on it. If Earth were uninhabited and someone landed on it, they would have a 70% chance of landing in water. Landing in water wouldn't mean the entire planet was ocean. Especially with the water only being a foot deep. Maybe there are places in the planet unaffected by the 100 foot waves. Another part I don't know if it is scientifically wrong, I just didn't understand where the heat for the planets came from. Since there was no sun, just the 3 planets orbiting a black hole. What heated them? The accretion disk? Do black holes give off a lot of heat like a star? I don't know much about black holes.
Interstellar was a lost opportunity. Early on Kip Thorne the physicist was producing it, so the depictions of the wormhole and the black hole are essentially correct. After he left the project, it went wonky.The planets mostly are not realistic; for the water planet it would not have huge tides in that way, rather it would probably tidally lock and just be a big oval of water. It also would not experience time dilation that dramatic in that circumstance. I think it was Phil Plait at the time that calculated that it would need to be orbiting just above the event horizon for it to be that marked. The no surface frozen cloud planet was hopeless. Some of the other stuff wasn't so bad, the O'Neill cylinder was passable but the black hole interior and tesseract stuff was all Hollywood. A mixed bag of a movie on the science, but if you suspend that, the story itself wasn't bad. The wormhole was spot on based on the models, and the black hole is the best depiction of what the physicists think they look like ever put on screen. They didn't explain it, and probably didn't know, but actually an accretion disk might heat planets enough for a habitable zone. That's highly situational though. It's a very energetic environment releasing a lot of energy, though very different from that of a star. And it's often variable. So you could play with habitability ideas as far as heat and light goes, but the x-ray radiation of a black hole's accretion disk is probably going to prevent abiogenesis outright. Now an advanced civilization colonizing such a place, that's a different kettle of fish.
@@JohnMichaelGodier Cool thanks. Yes I forgot about the frozen clouds. Denser than the air, yet still floating in the sky. Sky icebergs. 🤦♂ Overall I still liked it as a fantasy movie. I liked that it was future us helping us.
A potential (albeit janky) solution to the wormhole problem is if there is a -minimum- distance between connected regions of space. Given that there is essentially a cosmic event horizon (the visible limit of space, beyond which we will never be able to touch without FTL), a wormhole whose two ends do not have overlapping areas of influence wouldn't break causality because the two sides would be barred from interaction except through the wormhole itself. Though even with this understanding, if the universe isn't infinite only one wormhole would be allowed to exist within our observable universe so good luck finding it. If there's multiverse traversal that wouldn't be the case though. If you imagine an ocean of sealed spheres, wormholes could take the role of doors leading other ones.
Hey John. If you don't mind anime you should check out one called Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet. It's a fun mix of scary sci-fi concepts mixed with a feel good coming-of-age story.
JMG: ...wormhole. Depicted in science fiction many times but perhaps most famously in Me: EVENT HORIZON! JMG: Deep Space Nine Me: Okay that makes sense JMG a bit later: ..rip the very fabric of spacetime and bend it back on itself to allow for a connection between two very distant points in the universe. Me: EVENT HORIZON! Seriously I love that movie.
Great thoughts, the worm hole theory may be the most practical thing to really study, and by theory I mean - didn't Einstein predict this ? Thanks for posting this!!!
I believe the multiverse exists and that time travel would never create a paradox, but instead create alternate timelines/universes if you fundamentally change some event.
The more advanced the physics, the spookier the anomalies become. I wonder just how “spooky” the first advanced civilisation we find will be? “Alien” is kind of not a big enough word. It almost sounds cuddly in such a situation 🤓💚♾️
A third grade student from my classroom: "Sir, I know how to create a time machine". Me: "Yes but what if I go back in time and make my parents break up? I wouldn't exist and therefore who traveled back in time and made his parents break up?" The whole classroom: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Thank you for another adventurous video, John, and kalimera from Athens, Greece.
Futurism is good because it stimulates thinking even if most of the predictions will probably never come to be. It seeds thoughts with new concepts and possibilities. Wormholes for instance can only exist in the subatomic realm. They can only exist below the effect of gravity. But, humans will gain important knowledge while trying to find bigger wormholes. Every bit of knowledge is going to be needed to avoid an early extinction. Subatomic wormholes are why there is no such thing as a total vacuum. Subatomic particles jump randomly from one plain to another. Its also why humans will never be able to travel faster than a small fraction of the speed of light. Bumping into subatomic particles at high speed causes the release of high energies. People would melt.
We are in the phase of knowledge where we can deduce what in nature is possible and what not (at least in the observable universe). What we have observed the ingredients for is possible, and what not is not. Black holes are possible because they require just one thing: mass. Wormholes are not because the ingredients required are not observed: exotic matter / negative mass.They might be possible, but not in nature.
I wish people truly understood just how limited the physics of the universe are to a life form. We’re pretty close to the end of what’s possible or remotely feasible. There just isn’t any where to go except to invoke magic which doesn’t exist.
Perhaps the act of passing through the Einstein-Rosen bridge results in spagettification...maybe the only sized particles able to fit are the higgs bosons.
The whole plot of stines gate is about being able to send small bursts of electromagnetic data back in time to enact changes and its fun to hear the theory’s line up with that interpretation
There's something you should be aware of about wormholes though, as a reason to believe if anything that they probably do not exist. Which is that there is no possible way for the first law of thermodynamics ie conservation of matter and energy to be conserved in situations involving wormoles. It screws up a bunch of things from which that law emerges. For instance, because an electric charge's field lines can disappear into a wormhole, Gauss's law is violated, that is, it is no longer going to be the case that the total electric flux out of a box will indicate the amount of charge inside the box if the box contains a wormhole, and also the total flux may not be an integer multiple of the charge of an electron because a single electron's flux could half go into a wormhole's mouth and half go elsewhere if the electron was in the mouth of the wormhole. You end up with nonconservative situations everywhere when wormholes are allowed to exist.
Professor Maldacena describes a BH as more like a bubble open at one end stretching to infinity with the singularity at the apex. Kerr (spinning) BHs should show the superradiance effect, pumping 'dark' energy into the universe.
That idea actually got a recent boost through some further work on the relation between black holes and dark energy. I actually interviewed Dr. Maldacena on Event Horizon a few years ago about stable wormholes, but I want to have him back to discuss his black hole model. My proto-question, which needs more thought on my part, is that if black holes pump dark energy into the universe, and thusly drive its expansion, is there a self-limiting governor on how long the universe can expand? In other words, the amount and duration of black holes is dependent on the amount and distribution of matter in the universe. There's only so much food before the black holes evaporate in the distant far future through Hawking radiation. So does that mean when the black holes evaporate, the universe stops expanding? Does that in turn mean all the dead cinder stars, iron stars and particle flotsam mass representing the final form of matter in the universe then collapse under gravity and start a new cycle, i.e. a variation on cyclic universe theories? I'd think that would take an insane amount of time, like longer than waiting for the proton to decay, but so far as I can tell at this stage in my thinking it may have legs in this model. Not the most elegant thought, that the universe will spend the vast majority of its existence waiting for its black holes to evaporate and gravity to do its beyond painfully slow work ... if it can at the distances involved in a fully expanded far future universe ... The flip side of course is in a situation of a universe of infinite geometry, then no such collapse could ever occur further constraining how the universe could end itself. It may not be allowed non-existence. Or Penrose is right, and at some point the quantum foam produces another expanding bubble starting a new Big Bang that destroys, but saves traces or fingerprints, of the the black holes of the old. Anyway, just some proto-thoughts as I explore my way through all of this. I could be way off base, but fun things to ponder.
Strangely absent, yet no less terrifying about these wormholes is...😮 The freakin Worms! Where are they? Do we need to be afraid of these worms in the event of squeezing through their wormholes uninvited? Only people braver than I can tell us through living accounts or their horrifically mangled necrosignatures.
What if the unverse doesn't change the ID on an atom when its copied? Then when you make a change to one the other is also effected. The chances that we are in base reality is very very very low.
I have come to the conclusion that if time travel is possible, accurately targeting your destination is probably impossible. Exactly where was Earth 66 million years ago when the asteroid hit?
Quantum mechanics always makes me think about Schrodinger's ill-fated moggy. Perhaps it's a feline species that ultimately rules the universe, since they seem to have more of a grip on quantum mechanics than humans do. Also, do cats know if they're entagled or not?
I like the idea that the universe is double sided and reciprocal. The vail between each side of reality is broken by blackholes when gravity returns matter to the energy density side of reality. The universe can return matter to the energy density side of reality in two ways. 1: gravity in extreme cases such as black holes. 2: when the expansion of the universe pushes all matter past the speed of light and all matter dissipates into an energy state. When the expansion leads to the matter dissipation and the energy density universes meat a Big bang happens again starting the universe over again.

Another part I don't know if it is scientifically wrong, I just didn't understand where the heat for the planets came from. Since there was no sun, just the 3 planets orbiting a black hole. What heated them? The accretion disk? Do black holes give off a lot of heat like a star? I don't know much about black holes.
Interstellar was a lost opportunity. Early on Kip Thorne the physicist was producing it, so the depictions of the wormhole and the black hole are essentially correct. After he left the project, it went wonky.The planets mostly are not realistic; for the water planet it would not have huge tides in that way, rather it would probably tidally lock and just be a big oval of water. It also would not experience time dilation that dramatic in that circumstance. I think it was Phil Plait at the time that calculated that it would need to be orbiting just above the event horizon for it to be that marked. The no surface frozen cloud planet was hopeless. Some of the other stuff wasn't so bad, the O'Neill cylinder was passable but the black hole interior and tesseract stuff was all Hollywood. A mixed bag of a movie on the science, but if you suspend that, the story itself wasn't bad. The wormhole was spot on based on the models, and the black hole is the best depiction of what the physicists think they look like ever put on screen.
They didn't explain it, and probably didn't know, but actually an accretion disk might heat planets enough for a habitable zone. That's highly situational though. It's a very energetic environment releasing a lot of energy, though very different from that of a star. And it's often variable. So you could play with habitability ideas as far as heat and light goes, but the x-ray radiation of a black hole's accretion disk is probably going to prevent abiogenesis outright. Now an advanced civilization colonizing such a place, that's a different kettle of fish.
@@JohnMichaelGodier Cool thanks. Yes I forgot about the frozen clouds. Denser than the air, yet still floating in the sky. Sky icebergs. 🤦♂
Overall I still liked it as a fantasy movie. I liked that it was future us helping us.

It's crazy how physicists can look at an equation and theorize the existence of something like a black hole or wormhole.
I love this channel
This is why I only eat photonic flower because the bread is nice and crispy and it never gets old or mold.
A potential (albeit janky) solution to the wormhole problem is if there is a -minimum- distance between connected regions of space. Given that there is essentially a cosmic event horizon (the visible limit of space, beyond which we will never be able to touch without FTL), a wormhole whose two ends do not have overlapping areas of influence wouldn't break causality because the two sides would be barred from interaction except through the wormhole itself. Though even with this understanding, if the universe isn't infinite only one wormhole would be allowed to exist within our observable universe so good luck finding it. If there's multiverse traversal that wouldn't be the case though.
If you imagine an ocean of sealed spheres, wormholes could take the role of doors leading other ones.
Hey John. If you don't mind anime you should check out one called Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet. It's a fun mix of scary sci-fi concepts mixed with a feel good coming-of-age story.

A JMG and EH video in one night? Spoiling me
This is quality stuff. Make sure to like comment and share
I enjoy your content.
JMG: ...wormhole. Depicted in science fiction many times but perhaps most famously in
Me: EVENT HORIZON!
JMG: Deep Space Nine
Me: Okay that makes sense
JMG a bit later: ..rip the very fabric of spacetime and bend it back on itself to allow for a connection between two very distant points in the universe.
Me: EVENT HORIZON!
Seriously I love that movie.
Great thoughts, the worm hole theory may be the most practical thing to really study, and by theory I mean - didn't Einstein predict this ? Thanks for posting this!!!
Wormholes:
Travels through time
From point A to point B
Either randomly to past or future
Alt Title: "10 Strange Ways Time Travel could Be Possible - Part 2!".
Right in time for more of JMG
@0:12 "...Perhaps most famously in Star Trek: DS9..."
Jack O'Neill cocks an eyebrow: "What am I? Chopped liver!?"
Indeed
I believe the multiverse exists and that time travel would never create a paradox, but instead create alternate timelines/universes if you fundamentally change some event.
The more advanced the physics, the spookier the anomalies become. I wonder just how “spooky” the first advanced civilisation we find will be? “Alien” is kind of not a big enough word. It almost sounds cuddly in such a situation 🤓💚♾️
f*ckin' love JMG
Another fantastic vid Mr. JMG 💜

Another possibility is that aliens are using black holes for the galactic version of NASCAR.
I always liked the idea of building Nether hubs IRL, the amount of interesanting stories around them is limitless
A third grade student from my classroom: "Sir, I know how to create a time machine".
Me: "Yes but what if I go back in time and make my parents break up? I wouldn't exist and therefore who traveled back in time and made his parents break up?"
The whole classroom: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thank you for another adventurous video, John, and kalimera from Athens, Greece.
A new EH and this today? Sweet.
Futurism is good because it stimulates thinking even if most of the predictions will probably never come to be. It seeds thoughts with new concepts and possibilities. Wormholes for instance can only exist in the subatomic realm. They can only exist below the effect of gravity. But, humans will gain important knowledge while trying to find bigger wormholes. Every bit of knowledge is going to be needed to avoid an early extinction. Subatomic wormholes are why there is no such thing as a total vacuum. Subatomic particles jump randomly from one plain to another. Its also why humans will never be able to travel faster than a small fraction of the speed of light. Bumping into subatomic particles at high speed causes the release of high energies. People would melt.
Many interesting guardrails and barriers to our existence, in which we live.

This channel is truly what the internet was created for
We are in the phase of knowledge where we can deduce what in nature is possible and what not (at least in the observable universe).
What we have observed the ingredients for is possible, and what not is not.
Black holes are possible because they require just one thing: mass.
Wormholes are not because the ingredients required are not observed: exotic matter / negative mass.They might be possible, but not in nature.
I wish people truly understood just how limited the physics of the universe are to a life form. We’re pretty close to the end of what’s possible or remotely feasible. There just isn’t any where to go except to invoke magic which doesn’t exist.
Perhaps the act of passing through the Einstein-Rosen bridge results in spagettification...maybe the only sized particles able to fit are the higgs bosons.
The whole plot of stines gate is about being able to send small bursts of electromagnetic data back in time to enact changes and its fun to hear the theory’s line up with that interpretation
There's something you should be aware of about wormholes though, as a reason to believe if anything that they probably do not exist. Which is that there is no possible way for the first law of thermodynamics ie conservation of matter and energy to be conserved in situations involving wormoles. It screws up a bunch of things from which that law emerges. For instance, because an electric charge's field lines can disappear into a wormhole, Gauss's law is violated, that is, it is no longer going to be the case that the total electric flux out of a box will indicate the amount of charge inside the box if the box contains a wormhole, and also the total flux may not be an integer multiple of the charge of an electron because a single electron's flux could half go into a wormhole's mouth and half go elsewhere if the electron was in the mouth of the wormhole. You end up with nonconservative situations everywhere when wormholes are allowed to exist.
Professor Maldacena describes a BH as more like a bubble open at one end stretching to infinity with the singularity at the apex. Kerr (spinning) BHs should show the superradiance effect, pumping 'dark' energy into the universe.
That idea actually got a recent boost through some further work on the relation between black holes and dark energy. I actually interviewed Dr. Maldacena on Event Horizon a few years ago about stable wormholes, but I want to have him back to discuss his black hole model. My proto-question, which needs more thought on my part, is that if black holes pump dark energy into the universe, and thusly drive its expansion, is there a self-limiting governor on how long the universe can expand? In other words, the amount and duration of black holes is dependent on the amount and distribution of matter in the universe. There's only so much food before the black holes evaporate in the distant far future through Hawking radiation. So does that mean when the black holes evaporate, the universe stops expanding? Does that in turn mean all the dead cinder stars, iron stars and particle flotsam mass representing the final form of matter in the universe then collapse under gravity and start a new cycle, i.e. a variation on cyclic universe theories? I'd think that would take an insane amount of time, like longer than waiting for the proton to decay, but so far as I can tell at this stage in my thinking it may have legs in this model. Not the most elegant thought, that the universe will spend the vast majority of its existence waiting for its black holes to evaporate and gravity to do its beyond painfully slow work ... if it can at the distances involved in a fully expanded far future universe ...
The flip side of course is in a situation of a universe of infinite geometry, then no such collapse could ever occur further constraining how the universe could end itself. It may not be allowed non-existence. Or Penrose is right, and at some point the quantum foam produces another expanding bubble starting a new Big Bang that destroys, but saves traces or fingerprints, of the the black holes of the old. Anyway, just some proto-thoughts as I explore my way through all of this. I could be way off base, but fun things to ponder.
Strangely absent, yet no less terrifying about these wormholes is...😮 The freakin Worms! Where are they? Do we need to be afraid of these worms in the event of squeezing through their wormholes uninvited? Only people braver than I can tell us through living accounts or their horrifically mangled necrosignatures.

What if the unverse doesn't change the ID on an atom when its copied? Then when you make a change to one the other is also effected. The chances that we are in base reality is very very very low.
I think he means being in the ‘original’ or ‘actual’ universe, as opposed to a simulation for example
I have come to the conclusion that if time travel is possible, accurately targeting your destination is probably impossible. Exactly where was Earth 66 million years ago when the asteroid hit?
Quantum mechanics always makes me think about Schrodinger's ill-fated moggy. Perhaps it's a feline species that ultimately rules the universe, since they seem to have more of a grip on quantum mechanics than humans do. Also, do cats know if they're entagled or not?
I for one welcome our Lyran overlords
I like the idea that the universe is double sided and reciprocal.
The vail between each side of reality is broken by blackholes when gravity returns matter to the energy density side of reality.
The universe can return matter to the energy density side of reality in two ways.
1: gravity in extreme cases such as black holes.
2: when the expansion of the universe pushes all matter past the speed of light and all matter dissipates into an energy state.
When the expansion leads to the matter dissipation and the energy density universes meat a Big bang happens again starting the universe over again.
