Entropy and the Origin of the Universe
Entropy is, as some of you would know, disorder. With our current physics laws, we have determined that entropy will always increase, because for every TU (time unit, what I call the smallest unit of time) the molecules will move until they become more and more disordered, because the chances of something going back to order is so small it's inconcievable.
For example, is it impossible for all the molecules of a ball to vibrate at the same time and direction, so that the ball would move? Sounds weird, doesn't it? But it is totally posible for it to happen, however the chances of every single molecules of that ball to move at the same time and direction is so small that people treat it like it's impossible.
What does this have anything to do with the origin of the universe? At one point in time that inconcievably small chance happened, and planetary order came to be, with perfect combination of forces for everything to work properly. And then in this planet, the order increased again, and life was created. Let us not dwell on how this happens, but focus on our search for the origin of the universe.
The way we currently search for the origin of the universe is to find patterns that will lead us to it. However, if after the creation of the universe there is a point of disorder for an unknown amount of time, then it is impossible for us to even search for the beginning. The best we can do is to search for the Perfect Time where everything is in order.
We must also remember that the chances of that happening is one in a trillion to the power of a trillion. Probably more, but you get the point. However, it is important to be reminded that if Perfect Time happened, then entropy will reset to zero. I would say then a new universe is born, or that this universe is reborn. Because, really, we can't call an unorganised matter, time, and space a universe can we?
So, maybe, instead of defining the Big Bang as the origin of the universe, but the point when the Perfect Time happened.
