Higgs properties may hint at cyclic universe

[Bancopuma]

It's still early days and more data needs to be analysed, and further experimental research into this will delayed as CERN is being shut down for repairs and upgrades until 2015. But the mass of the Higgs particle could be quite an interesting value regarding the possible future of the universe.

Cosmos may be 'inherently unstable'

Scientists say further study of the Higgs boson will reveal if there is an inherent instability in the Universe, leading to its eventual replacement.

So in a cosmic sense this could hint at an endlessly cycling universe, without beginning or end, cycling ad infinitum. Interestingly this completely aligns with the Hindu perception of the universe.

..thank you for this Bancopuma..

Interestingly this completely aligns with the Hindu perception of the universe.

..this is also the indigenous australian dreamtime concept..even older than the vedas..

Interesting! I didn't know that. Cheers.

It seems to be congruent with the Daoist philosophies on the nature of the universe too.

No yang without yin

This is so cool, my personal philosophy is that this is a eternally cyclic universe and now I have a little more scientific proof. I mean I know this is early days but what would this mean for entropy? Living systems trump local entropy, glad science may finally acknowledge that the universe as a whole grows and decays forever.

Funny that such a sentiment should be shared here in the tower
