Once the crunch starts, nothing can stop it, because strong things carry sound faster; eventually that sound would exceed the speed of light, which it can’t so there’s runaway collapse. J  Since matter is pulling on space, we aren’t surprised that it looks like space itself is falling in.  J

Either the laws of nature came with the neutron or the fact that the universe was going to have to produce life (wait for it) the laws had to be suitable. J

Now if you take a universe that contains a photon and a warm particle and change the size of the universe, the photon will change right along with it.  It doesn’t take any more information to find the photon since it occupies the same fraction of the universe, which is to say of “In Here.”  And the information content, and the energy equivalent, of knowing where the particle is changes because the temperature of the particle changes on average.  (If you’ve forgotten Maxwell’s Demon, ask that guy over there later.) 

But something is missing.  Particles of matter act differently.  If you look at the energy of the particles in a gas, they are distributed along a curve such that the lowest energies have the most particles. 

Fig 5

At absolute zero, they all have no energy.  Therefor the information about their location is zero.  Their location is indeterminate – absolutely indeterminate.

 ................   Energy

That would mean that their location was somewhere in unlimited space.  Each could with equal probability be anywhere In Here, in fact it could just as well Out There, and since Out There has to be a lot larger than In Here, the chance of it even being In Here is vanishingly small.  Steven Hawking worked it all out – it was his masterpiece – and the phenomenon is called Hawking radiation.  It hasn’t actually been observed, but serious workers do not question Hawking’s calculations. 

Some clever guys took a very cold gas and placed the particles at some positive level using lasers.

Now the distribution is upside down.  Instead of the energies being piled up around zero, they are piled up at a positive value, and (wait for it) the temperature is negative.  But to get there it had to go through zero.  The whole lab should have zipped off to Out There.  But it didn’t not even the sample vanished.  So there is information in the location of a particle that is independent of its temperature.
But you knew that had to be true.  According to the curve, the most likely temperature is zero anyway.  Those particles should locate themselves at random, mostly Out There.  The universe would boil away on the PDQ.  So as In Here collapses, energy piles up.  There’s no quantum mottle, because quantum uncertainty only happens in reverse time.  J6, 7 

There’s no difficulty having orderly systems like life build up, because in forward time, order builds up automatically.  J8 Of course In Here we say that disorder is always increasing just as energy is always being dispersed, which is well and good but only in reverse time.

Since the temperature-independent location of matter is real information, and since information         

energy  mass gravity dark matter is just what you would expect.  J9

If we were Out There watching the universe collapse, we would see gravity building up, which means time is slowing down.  From In Here when we look out in space we see the universe when it was more collapsed, time was slower so it looks like we are speeding up.  There’s your dark energy.  J10. 

Now we’re going to need a second piece of magic.  We’ll call it a
doohickey.  L

This thing has awareness, a memory – which is not always available to awareness – and abstract reasoning.  You might say that these are just three different ways of describing the same thing, if you like.  It should be familiar; it’s your personality.
