I hate to say this, but it really sounds like you describe a currently ill described phenomenon. It fits the definition of supernatural.

I guess the nature of God is not a prerequisite.

So why doesn't all dark matter lead back to the cosmic egg, pre-big bang? A rather useless wormhole theory.

It does? All I did was apply the HUP to the state the universe would need to be in, in order for the "big wimper" theory to be correct.

In order for the universe to succumb to complete entropy, every particle needs to have a velocity (zero) and a position (equidistant from each other). Since, according to quantum theory, one or the other can be established with certainty, but not both, this state cannot happen. Again, according to quantum theory.

At no point am I invoking the supernatural for this.

I wouldn't know.

So why doesn't all dark matter lead back to the cosmic egg, pre-big bang? A rather useless wormhole theory.

It may lead to a "big crunch" (or a "big near-miss"), but if you compress the universe into a singularity, you're once again violating the HUP, since you're dictating this singularity's position and velocity.

Is the HUC inaccurate? Or am I misunderstanding it?
