The ultimate knowledge, or merely The phrase "NOTHING, DOESN'T EXIST" (accent on the word nothing) is a simple statement, meaning two things, depending on punctuation. 1. Nothing, by it's own definition, does not, has not, and cannot EVER exist, as it literally means NO THING, and, that means no thing, which cannot exist because if it did, it would be SOMEthing. As we know, even a total void has infinite quantum soup particles jumping in and out of existence, and even the number zero is not nothing, it's an imaginary number that is as infinite in concept as "infinity", like observing a join in a circular loop. one side would be the beginning, the other infinity, but it's the same singularity. the end is the beginning again. It's an imaginary number basically, for use to measure the rest of the numbers by comparison. It was even shunned to be used in math until a few centuries ago. A dangerous number, of devilish origins, or so it was feared by the religious extremists. The second meaning of NOTHING DOESN'T EXIST, but this time imagine the phrase WITHOUT the comma, (accent on the word nothing) means that "there is nothing in existence that isn't in existence". Obvious and simple, but true. Only things CAN exist. It can't NOT exist, because if it didn't, it would be a thing, it would be NO thing, making existance impossible...and don't get me started on the word impossible. If EVERYTHING EXISTS, then we mean an infinity of things. Over eternity, then, everything will exist, even the seemingly impossible, but impossibilities means something that cannot exist, and as we see, there is only one thing that "could" not exist: Nothing. And that doesn't exist. So, one day, if I lived eternally, I will fall through the earth and then eat a star and become James Joyce suddenly. Literally, that HAS to happen. It cannot not happen, if infinity is really a conceptually hard thing to imagine but perfectly complete forever, with time, and timelessness joined In a way, we exist because of nothing. And the phrase Everything, exists must therefore mean that infinity of existence exists forever, as it couldn't ever not exist if nothing never could exist. See what I'm saying? Every thing we can imagine, and ininitely more we can't, will exist at some point, or am I being fooled by wordgames and semantics?

Is it not possible that gravity is EXACTLY as strong now as it ever was? Common understanding apparently says no. We assume that gravity was once much stronger at the time prior to the big bang and now is not a very strong force relative to the other known forces.

I believe in theory it's possible that gravity is the same as it ever has been. How so? Well I call it the "bully effect". Quite simply it states that at the time of the singularity, when all matter and all the forces, everything was the same size that gravity was the strongest force. It was the bully of the group.

However, like the bully in school who can pick on other kids as long as their not bigger than he is, gravity simply never grew up like everthing else did, post big bang.

Now that matter can be the size of suns and planets and the individual gravity particle is still the same sub-atomic size it always has been, it's not so scary anymore. It can only pick on things it's own size.

So when planets, stars and well, everthing, were still all compressed into the same size space as gravity (pre big bang era) gravity could hold everything together, because everything was essentially the same size.

Post big bang when things expanded and became enormous in size; the tiny, once very tough graviton was now the tiniest kid on the block. How could a tiny graviton particle take on something as big as a planet? It couldn't all by itself.

I think gravity is just as tough as it has always been, it's just been outgrown. It stayed sub atomic in size, while everything else we see with our eyes has grown or expanded to enormous sizes compared to the graviton particle.

If we were to rewind the video of the universe, it would all shrink back towards itself, eventually shrinking to the infinitely small size that everything we now see must have at one time fit into.

So, if you were to take say, the sun, and shrink and compress it to the same exact size as a graviton particle...I believe that gravity would have it's way with the sun. It would once again be the bully and it would once again be able to maintain it's death grip on the sun. But with the sun at its current size it's just too big for the graviton particle to overpower.

Anyway, I'm not a physicist and I don't claim to be. But I wondered what your thoughts were on the subject.
