Chapter 9: Our Universe
According to Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, the speed of light is a constant speed of the universe and no mass in the universe can travel as fast as the speed of light since it will take an infinite amount of energy to make that mass move that fast. In fact, according to Einstein a mass moving at such speed will continually swell in size as it travels faster and faster into space, since it needs to keep absorbing energy as it gets closer to the speed of light.
Imagine me move inside a space shuttle that I invented myself and plan to make this space shuttle move as fast as the speed of light. I get inside, start the engine, and launch into space. It will take some time for me to move at the speed of light since it will require an enormous amount of energy. However, my space shuttle is like a vacuum and will suck everything around it and convert these things as energy. All cosmic dust, gases, and starlight get absorbed as energy. At first, I not only break the speed of sound, I continually travel faster and faster as I move forward into space. Soon my speed reaches over 1,000,000 mph. Still far behind the speed of light but I keep moving forward and keep absorbing everything around me as energy.
As weeks pass, and a few months go by, my space shuttle swelled into something more enormous than a planet, yet it keeps moving forward and it keeps sucking in energy. I have currently reached over 100,000,000 mph and nothing is stopping me. In fact, my space shuttle and my own body can no longer be identified. When scientists look at my moving “object” from a large telescope, they wonder what could be possibly absorbing so much energy around it and swelling in size as it moves forward. But nothing is stopping me. I just keep moving faster and faster until I reach the speed of light at 670,000,000 mph.
The speed I wish to reach is now closer as a year goes by. The size I have amassed is so large that even ordinary people from Earth can see it. It is scary to watch. By now, everyone knows that I absorb in planets hundreds of times larger than Earth as energy. In fact, the entire universe seems to be circling around me. Earth itself is drawing into me as energy. People start floating in mid-air. Buildings begin to crack in half and float towards the sky. The swelling is so huge and the energy amassed is so large, everything around Earth starts to burn. People begin to die in the millions. Eventually the entire Earth gets absorbed and the universe itself disappears as I now reach the speed of light.
I now just created my own universe and used the universe I came from as my source of energy. As Einstein proved, by reaching the speed of light, I reached an infinite size of mass. Unfortunately, because I need an infinite amount of energy to sustain my new infinite size of mass that I created, everything begins to disappear. I have depleted all the energy needed to sustain myself. By using the universe I came from as energy, nothing will let me live. Ironically, I destroyed everything by creating a new entire world.
However, we know that this cannot be true. The universe that we live in always exists. It constantly runs itself. Nothing is depleting the energy of the universe. How is this possible? It requires an infinite amount of energy to make the universe live. According to Tiger’s Law, c² is the infinite source of energy which the universe depends on. Without c², the universe will deplete itself and die. However, c² is a living being and will always work to nurture the universe. It will allow the universe to keep moving forward and to keep creating more beautiful things as time passes. Without c², nothing can exist. Everything will pass away.
