The End of the Universe – Cycles of Creation and Collapse
By the Mad Scientist Supreme
In this deep-space episode, the Mad Scientist Supreme explores the fate of everything: from the Big Bang to the cosmic unraveling, from black holes to the rebirth of time itself. Drawing from the discovery of cosmic background radiation in Wisconsin and examining the structure of the expanding universe, this theory ties together elements of astrophysics, quantum gravity, and cosmological entropy into a unique and compelling vision of the universe’s future—and its past.
The episode begins by revisiting the origin of the cosmos, where energy became matter in a fiery act of creation known as the Big Bang. As the universe stretches outward into nothingness, the remnants of that energy—radiation, light, and heat—continue to weave the fabric of reality. But as with all things woven, there is also unraveling. The cosmic microwave background (CMB), often seen as leftover light, is reinterpreted here as the echo of unraveling spacetime at the universe's very edge.
The Mad Scientist Supreme then moves to discuss black holes—the cosmic vacuum cleaners. Every galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its core, and many others scattered throughout its spirals. Over inconceivable spans of time (trillions of trillions of years), these gravitational giants will absorb not just stars, but each other. Eventually, all galaxies will be swallowed into a final, singular black hole.
Throughout this cosmic timeline, the CMB radiation keeps bouncing from one edge of the cosmos to the other, fueling creation and destruction in a delicate balance. But slowly, as that radiation is increasingly absorbed by black holes, it stops replenishing the fabric of space. The universe begins to shrink, its matter and energy pulled into that final, massive void.
Then comes the ultimate moment: when the outer edges of the universe—true nothingness—touch the black hole’s surface. The laws of gravity no longer apply. The event horizon shatters, and the energy is released in one glorious new Big Bang. The cyclical universe restarts, and the entire cosmos is born anew.

This vision of cosmic death and rebirth presents a scientific mythos—a blend of real physics and theoretical extrapolation that could anchor a science fiction universe where civilizations may one day attempt to predict or even manipulate the next Big Bang. Could black hole farmers harvest energy from the final radiation? Could cosmic civilizations store data across resets?
You’ll find no shortage of big ideas here. This is mad science on a cosmic scale—the kind that makes you question the beginning, the end, and the space between.
