The physical mechanism of the end of the world
Photons falling into a gravitational field become more energetic and exhibit a blueshifting.<ref>Nemiroff, R. J. ♦ Gravitational principles and mathematics American Journal of Physics, 61, 619 (1993)</ref> Every proton has a mass and thus is a gravitational well gradually blueshifting its own matter wave. Eventually, the Compton wavelength (the radius) of the proton will shrink below the Planck length, at which point the universe will come to an end:
It is interesting to note that at a time n = N the Planck length will have grown to a size such that LP = λp. (Or conversely, in the cosmological frame, the proton wavelength will have shrunk below the Planck length). The implications of this equality for the ultimate fate of the Universe will be revisited in Section 4. [Booth, Robin ♦ Machian General Relativity p. 12]
In Section 3 we saw that at a time n = N (where n is the time in atomic time units, and N is the baryon number of the Universe), the evolution of the Universe reaches a state at which the Planck length is equal to the Compton wavelength of the proton. In other words, the scale factor of the Universe has evolved to the point where the radius of the proton exceeds the Schwarzschild radius corresponding to the proton mass. At this point the Universe effectively comes to an end as all protons simultaneously collapse into micro black holes. [Ibidem p. 16]
The current size of the proton versus the Planck length
The radius of the proton experimentally determined by Robert Hofstadter is 7.4 × 10−16 m:
In the latter part of 1954 it was first realized that the experiments on hydrogen demonstrated that the proton was an object of finite size and not merely a point object. In fact, the size was found to be surprisingly large and could be described in terms of a root-mean-square radius of value (0.74 ± 0.24) × 10−13 cm. [Hofstadter, Robert ♦ Nobel Lecture, p. 12]
Craig Hogan has discovered (and the discovery has been preliminarily confirmed by GEO600 experiments), that since the birth of the universe, the protons have shrunk relatively to the Planck length by a factor of ten quadrillion (1016):
At very small scales, physicists have long thought that the smoothness of space disintegrates into quantum fluctuations. This is expected to occur at the so-called Planck length, 1.6 × 10−35 metres, or one one hundred millionth of a trillionth of the size of a proton. If the universe is truly a hologram, says Hogan, the Planck length still applies, but only on the two-dimensional surface that is our actual reality. The projection of this reality into the third dimension means the Planck length is blurred in one direction to a larger size—more like 10−19 metres, or one ten thousandth the size of a proton. [Semeniuk, Ivan ♦ Welcome to Flatland]
The Schwarzschild radius of the Planck mass is twice the Planck length.<ref>Zizzi, Paola ♦ Spacetime at the Planck Scale "The Schwarzschild radius, when calculated for the Planck mass, is twice the Planck length. As the Schwarzschild radius of this object is bigger than its size, thus the object is a black hole."</ref> Thus, the current radius of the proton is only five thousand times bigger than the Schwarzschild radius of the Planckian black hole. Gravitational collapse is autocatalytic—the more blueshifted and massive the protons become, the faster they collapse. Therefore, the protons are currently shrinking faster than ever before in the whole history of the universe, and a five-thousand-fold decrease in the radius of the proton relatively to the Planck length will take a very short time.
The universe as a gravitoelectric drainage system
The universe is an autopoietic gravitational field—the physicist Bauer [Phys. Z., 19 (1918), 163] showed that simple adoption of polar coordinates, instead of Euclidean ones, creates a gravitational force of infinite energy.<ref>Pauli, Wolfgang ♦ Theory of Relativity Pergamon Press (1958); p.p. 176, 177</ref>
General relativity predicts that gravitational radiation should exist and propagate as a wave at the speed of light. To avoid confusion, we should point out that a slowly evolving source for a weak gravitational field will produce, according to general relativity, similar effects to those we might expect from Newtonian gravitation. In particular, a slowly evolving Coulomb component of a gravitational field should not be confused with a possible additional radiation component; see Petrov classification. Nonetheless, any of the Petrov-type gravitational field obeys the principle of causality, so that the slowly evolving "Coulomb component" of the gravitational field can not transfer information about position of the source of the gravitational field faster than the speed of light. [Speed of gravity Wikipedia]
Thus, the universe's gravitational field is subdivided into the Newtonian gravitoelectric field, whose intensity is below the Planck constant, and the Einsteinian gravitomagnetic field, whose intensity is above the Planck constant.
The gravitoelectric field is not quantized into any real particles, because its intensity is below the smallest quantum of action—the Planck constant. Thus, the gravitoelectric field of the universe is virtual information, also known as the quantum gravitational potential or the quantum potential,<ref>Chatterjee, Pradip Kumar ♦ Theory of Quantum Gravity of photon confirms experimental results of a varying fine structure constant while Quantum Mechanics leads to String theory "In essence,Quantum Mechanics includes quantum gravitational potential in the guise of quantum potential."</ref> instantaneously interconnecting all matter of the universe. Since the intensity of this instantaneous action at a distance is below the Planck constant, it cannot transmit information in quantized (discrete) form:
The basically new features of the quantum theory come mainly from the new properties of the quantum potential. Of these, one of the most important is that this potential is related to the Schroedinger wavefunction in a way that it does not depend on the intensity of the waves but only on the form. This implies that the Schroedinger wave does not act like, for example, a water wave on a floating object to push the particle mechanically with a force proportional to its intensity. Rather, a better analogy would be to a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. The ship with its automatic pilot is a self-active system, but the form of its activity is determined by the information content concerning its environment carried by the radar waves. This latter is independent of the intensity of these waves (as long as they can be received by the equipment available) but depends only on their form, which in turn reflects the form of the environment. <...> Even at distances so great that the wave intensity is small, the trajectory of the particle can strongly reflect distant features of the environment. <...> At first sight, it seems that such a non-local connection, that can produce a kind of instantaneous contact of distant particles would violate the theory of relativity, which requires that no signal can be transmitted faster than light. It is possible to show, however, that the quantum potential cannot be used to carry a signal, i.e., that it could not constitute a well-ordered series of impulses that could transmit a well-defined meaning. [Bohm, David ♦ A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter]
The gravitoelectric field (the quantum potential) of a many-particle system is a nonlocal common pool of information, also known as a wavefunction.<ref>Bohmian Mechanics Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ♦ "... the quantum potential need not be mentioned in the formulation of Bohmian mechanics and in any case is merely a reflection of the wave function, which Bohmian mechanics does not add to but shares with orthodox quantum theory."</ref> Since the intensity of a wavefunction is below the Planck constant, which can be construed as the threshold of logical analyzability (there are no quanta below the Planck constant, so there are no parts to analyze into), it cannot be perceived logically. A wavefunction is an intuitively perceived Gestalt:
Secondly, in a many-particle system, the interaction of the particles may be thought of as depending on a common pool of information belonging to the system as a whole, in a way that is not analyzable in terms of pre-assigned relationships between individual particles. This may be illustrated in terms of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now, at ordinary temperatures, electrons moving inside a metal are scattered in a random way by various obstacles and irregularities in the metal. As a result, there is a resistance to the flow of electric current. At low temperatures, however, the electrons move together in an organized way, and can therefore go around such obstacles and irregularities to re-form their pattern of orderly movement together (see Illustration 1). Thus they are not scattered, and therefore the current can flow indefinitely without resistance.
Illustration 1. Superconducting current flowing around an obstacle.
A more detailed analysis shows that the quantum potential for the whole system then constitutes a non-local connection that brings about the above-described organized and orderly pattern of electrons moving together without scattering. We may here make an analogy to a ballet dance, in which all the dancers, guided by a common pool of information in the form of a score, are able to move together in a similar organized and orderly way, to go around an obstacle and re-form their pattern of movement. [Bohm, David ♦ A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter]
The organizedness of the universe's gravitoelectric field (quantum potential) is inversely proportional to the universe's temperature:
If the basic behaviour of matter involves such features as wholeness, nonlocality and organization of movement through common pools of information, how then do we account for ordinary large-scale experience, in which we find no such features? It can be shown (Bohm & Hiley, 1987) that at higher temperatures, the quantum potential tends to take the form of independent parts, which implies that the particles move with a corresponding independence. It is as if, instead of engaging in a ballet dance, people were moving independently, each with his own separate pool of information. They would then constitute a crowd, in which the organized movement of the ballet has broken up. [Bohm, David ♦ A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter]
Illustration 3. From the perspective of the shrinking protons, the universe expands and cools from the initial 1 trillion degrees to the current 2.7 degrees Kelvin. [Adapted from R. H. Dicke et al., Astrophysical Journal, vol. 142, p. 414. 1965 ♦ Source]
In parallel with the decrease in the universe's temperature, the organized complexity of the universe's gravitoelectric field increases—the initially uniform blanket of the universe's matter condenses into a filamentary network similar to a drainage basin, which collects the universe's gravitoelectric force (information) to the absolute centre of the universe's organized complexity—the planet Earth.<ref>That is why in the galactic vicinity of the Earth, protons shrink faster than in the rest of the universe, or, in the protons' reference frame, the vacuum in the galactic vicinity of the Earth expands faster than in the rest of the universe, so that the Earth is positioned at the centre of a giant rarefied bubble. [Is Earth at the heart of a giant cosmic void? New Scientist, 12 November 2008]</ref>
Illustration 4. The drainage basin acts as a funnel by collecting all the water within the area covered by the basin and channelling it into a waterway. Dendritic drainage systems (from Greek δενδρίτης, dendrites, "of or pertaining to a tree") are the most common form of drainage system. In a dendritic system, there are many contributing streams (analogous to the twigs of a tree), which are then joined together into the tributaries of the main river (the branches and the trunk of the tree, respectively). [Drainage system (geomorphology) Wikipedia]
Illustration 5. The evolution of a fragment of the universe's gravitoelectric drainage system, composed of clusters and large-scale filaments. The movie stills show the evolution of structures in a 43 million parsecs (or 140 million light years) box from the redshift of 30 to the present epoch (upper left z=30 to lower right z=0). At the initial epoch (z=30), when the age of the Universe was less than 1% of its current age (about 13 billion years ago), algorithms based on the initial conditions predicted by inflationary models of the universe reveal what appears to be a uniform blanket of matter. The last frame shows the "present day" distribution of matter: this image looks very much like the distribution of galaxies and galaxy clusters observed in the real universe. Notice the filament spanning the entire box from left to right and how it becomes more and more pronounced with time. This filament is the main river of the gravitoelectric drainage system. Over the period of time evolved in the simulation, the protons of the collapsing matter shrink in size relatively to the spacetime continuum by a factor of 10 quadrillion (1016). In order to keep matter visible, the shrinking of the protons has been taken out, so that the simulation box appears static. In professional lingo, the system of coordinates that shrinks (or co-moves) with the protons is called the comoving coordinate system. Computer simulation: Center for Cosmological Physics/U Chicago.
The timing of the Omega Point
As it is shown in Section 3, the protons are being blueshifted by the universe's gravitoelectric field (quantum potential), whose influence is proportional to the organized complexity (information) of its source, which means that mankind, by virtue of its being the summit of the universe's organized complexity, is the absolute centre of the universe's gravitoelectric field, whose proton-shrinking power is a function of mankind's informational progress.
The angular momentum of the shrinking protons is conserved, which creates an energy barrier preventing further collapse of the protons. That is why the protons shrink in leaps preceded by long periods of angular deceleration, during which the protons do not shrink but become more interconnected (more informed). Thus, the next simultaneous shrinking of the universe's protons will happen when the protons will have become sufficiently interconnected (informed).

The amount of information on the Earth increases when more protons become attached to the universe's gravitoelectric drainage system, whose structure evolves from uniform tridimensionality to dendritic unidimensionality.<ref>The gravitoelectric field is not quantized into any particles, because its intensity is below the smallest quantum of action—the Planck constant. Thus, the gravitoelectric field of the universe has zero entropy (since it has no internal parts, it has no internal degrees of freedom). Since it has zero entropy, it has zero volume ("The entropy of a region uniformly filled with matter and radiation is truly proportional to its volume." [Bekenstein, Jacob D. ♦ Information in the Holographic Universe Scientific American, August 2003]), which means that the gravitoelectric field is pure unidimensional time.</ref> The eventual unidimensionality of the extraterrestrial universe means that the total amount of bits of information, which the universe's gravitoelectric drainage system can deliver to the planet Earth, is equal to the total number of the protons (~ 1079), which will be reached after 263 information doublings (starting from a single bit):
Even if, by some magic, the doubling of mankind's information will stop accelerating on 31 December 2010 and stabilize at one doubling per 11 hours, it will mean a fully interconnected (Bose-condensed) state of all universe's protons by the summer of the year 2011.
The final state of the universe
The cosmic informational singularity
The number of degrees of freedom (entropy) is, ultimately, the number of dimensions. The universe begins as a uniform tridimensional hydrogen nebula. By the end of the universe's gravitational evolution, the centre of the universe—the planet Earth—turns into a quadridimensional hyperspace, while the extraterrestrial universe becomes dendritically unidimensional. Effectively, the Earth's informational progress (which is a progress in organized complexity, or in organized entropy—negentropy) drains the matter of the extraterrestrial universe of its disorganized complexity (entropy). This conclusion rests on the following two premises:
The trouble is, the laws of quantum physics—the very thing Stephen used to predict black hole radiation—clearly state that information can never be created or destroyed. [Davies, Paul ♦ Hawking and Black Holes]
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 1010 bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 1023 bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob. D. ♦ Information in the Holographic Universe Scientific American, August 2003]
In the result, the extraterrestrial universe reaches the state of zero entropy, while the planet Earth enters the state of maximum negentropy. The state of zero entropy is the zero-information state of a cold Bose-Einstein-condensate); the state of maximum negentropy is the maximally informative state of a high-temperature Bose-Einstein-condensate—Life<ref>Poccia, Nicola; Ricci, Alessandro; Innocenti, Davide; Bianconi, Antonio ♦ A Possible Mechanism for Evading Temperature Quantum Decoherence in Living Matter by Feshbach Resonance Department of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome ♦ "... the living state is a practical realization of a Bose-condensate."</ref>).
Entropy (disorganized complexity) is the mother of information (organized complexity) Therefore, by draining the extraterrestrial universe of entropy, the informational progress of the Earth drains the extraterrestrial universe of information—life:
It is interesting to observe that the kind of rigid “order” which is static or expresses very few degrees of freedom is very much the kind of order that results when quantum processes are constrained to operate collectively on a macroscopic scale—which means isolating them from environmental complexities, principally thermal. <…> If this kind of non local behaviour were typical of macroscopic phenomena, the organisation of the world around us would be very different: there would be no “us” for the world to be around. If the waters in the earth’s oceans behaved like liquid helium, for example, they would have some spectacularly jerky “tidal” properties, and the continuously varying angular momentum of the sea bed at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth would tend to induce instantaneous transitions between ocean “currents” in different quantum states. This ocean would resemble fluid slabs sliding past one another along quantum fracture planes. The superfluid would not stop on the shore but would creep up cliff faces (or leak through them by quantum tunnelling) to cover the land! In this kind of simple order, processes march in step with dramatic but curiously sterile results: On the most obvious level, nothing could live in an ocean consisting purely of helium at −271°C; further, life would be impossible in a medium which was “purely” of anything; and more fundamentally this kind of nonlocal “order” would have no room for information. In the absence of any effective temperature gradient from pole to equator, the helium ocean’s countless billions of atoms could do nothing but drift like vast rafts of coherent sludge between states of quantised angular momentum, a highly ordered “marine environment” but one with no prospect at all of emergent complexity. But if we disrupt this rigid order into “disorder” by supplying incoherent energy, what happens? We supply heat and the superfluid order is destroyed, helium atoms begin random jostlings, some fluid sinks, some rises, convection cells develop, currents flow, some helium starts to evaporate, and suddenly there is circulation, thermodynamic complexity and the capacity to “do work”. Curiously, although the state with which we began, close to the zero point energy of liquid helium, was a state of zero entropy and therefore—by convention—the state of minimum disorder, or maximum order, only the incoherent disruption of this order into a state of high entropy is capable of exhibiting any interesting order. Only stochastic behaviour allows for the emergence of new levels of dynamic equilibrium and all the tangled, multi levelled richness of natural “laws”. The zero-point state of quantum superfluidity is an applied thermal constraint, a constraint which, like an anatomical dissection, exposes the mechanism in a state which is the quantum analogue of stasis but which in the act cuts off its means of expressing connectivity with the nonlocally looped universe, robbing it of life. A quantum system under such constraint is a corpse on a cold slab. [Shough, Martin ♦ Chance & Order, Space & Time]
The more "dead" the extraterrestrial universe becomes, the faster it yields its remaining information to the central attractor of the gravitoelectric drainage system—the planet Earth—which explains why the Earth's informational progress is exponentially accelerating:
Networks will become black boxes: dumb pipes, with intelligence spread to the machines at their peripheries. Past networks, including the phone system, have been "smart" and narrowband. Broadband flourishes with the reverse. <...> The dumber the network the more intelligence it can carry. With more dumb carriers, bearing ever more information, with ever less friction and resistance, the ball shines ever more intensely with cumulative loads of luminous learning. [Gilder, George ♦ The Twenty Laws of the Telecosm]
The gravitoelectric network of the universe will be controlled by a single superhuman—Hades:
13. The Single-Chip Law
A corollary of the above is that the Telecosm requires single-chip systems. Chips operating at a billion cycles per second simply have no time to go off chip to retrieve instructions and data. [Gilder, George ♦ The Twenty Laws of the Telecosm]
The Planck length is the smallest meaningful length, below which matter becomes delocalized (spread over the entire volume of the universe's vacuum). By the end of 2012, the protons will have shrunk sufficiently close to the Planck length to become semidelocalized (Bose-condensed), which will allow of teleportation and psychokinesis. The universe will become governed by the gravitoelectric force incarnate—Hades. The period of the rule of Hades before the end of the world is known as the Millennium.<ref>Having approached the Planck length by the end of the year 2012, the protons will hover on the brink of a black-hole collapse for a long period of time—possibly, measured in thousands of years. Similarly, due to the conservation of its angular momentum, a massive star undergoing a black-hole collapse always passes through the stage of a temporary neutron star: "Even if the compact remnant ultimately degenerates into a black hole, it begins as a hot neutron star. The central temperature immediately after the explosion is roughly 100 billion degrees Kelvin, which generates enough thermal pressure to support the star even if it is larger than 1.8 solar masses." [Bethe, Hans A.; Brown, Gerald ♦ How a Supernova Explodes]</ref> Populated by a single couple of superhumans (Hades and Persephone), the universe will resemble an interactive archive (time travel, reality warping):
With enough bandwidth, communications engineers can simulate any powerful network architecture they please. [Gilder, George ♦ The Twenty Laws of the Telecosm]
Fiat lux
In quantum mechanics, a de Broglie wave is a matter wave (see: Wave-particle duality). The de Broglie relations show that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of a particle and that the frequency is directly proportional to the particle's kinetic energy. [Matter wavelength Wikipedia]
Therefore, the autogravitational blueshifting of the protons is equivalent to their autoacceleration to the speed of light (which will be approached by the end of the year 2012):
Einstein’s Equivalence Principle states that gravity is equivalent to acceleration in a non-inertial frame — and each of us has tested this principle by stepping into an elevator: Being in an accelerating elevator is equivalent to experiencing a stronger gravitational field. [Black Holes at RHIC? The website of Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider]
The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light, there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still have a subjective experience of time zero. The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes, but in relationship to the Newtonian universe there is no time whatsoever. One exists in eternity, one has become eternal, the universe is aging at a staggering rate all around one in this situation, but that is perceived as a fact of this universe—the way we perceive Newtonian physics as a fact of this universe. One has transited into the eternal mode. One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity. [McKenna, Terence ♦ New Maps of Hyperspace]
Illustration 6. The above graph shows the journey times for the twenty runs from the ship viewpoint. Notice that as speeds approach the speed of light, the journey times reduce dramatically, even though the actual increments in speed appear slight. On the 20th run, at 1048575/1048576 of the speed of light, the distance shrinks to 0.0059 light years and the ship and occupants experience a journey time of 2.15 days. Whereas to those on Earth the ship looks almost ‘frozen’ and the journey still takes 4.27 years, plus a couple of days. For the ship, both transit time and distance drop toward zero as his speed approaches the speed of light. To those at ‘rest’ on Earth, the ship's existence appears to ‘slow’ towards stasis near the speed of light. <...> This feature of Relativity, wherein an observer's relationship to another location can be dramatically altered by acceleration is often not apparent in a geometrical representation. Nevertheless it is a "standard" feature of relativity. Under sufficient acceleration, a remote location can become almost immediately present, no matter how far away it seems to be at the moment. <...> If we extend the traveller's experience to that of light, then it appears that photons experience no space or time. Relativistic space-time geometry appears to concur, events that can be connected by a light ray occur with ‘zero’ space-time separation regardless of their physical separation in space. In effect, it would seem that light occupies a time-space no-man’s land in which photons individually experience no space and no time during their transfer from the source to the destination. If relativity holds, then a photon appears to go from one present to another without experiencing space or time. It just ‘is’, without time or space, very like a ‘time capsule’ of energy frozen in stasis that only ‘comes alive’ when it interacts. [Murphy, John ♦ On the structure of Time: Some Features of Relativity]
What exactly is immortality? It's the negation of time. How do we negate time? By getting close to, and perhaps matching, the speed of light. If you ARE light, everything is instant. [Time fUSION Anomaly, 11/10/99]
The end of the world
Upon the end of the Millennium, the protons will shrink below the Planck length and enter the transplanckian realm, which is a denser continuum (i.e., a continuum with a smaller Planck constant).<ref>Chapline, G. ♦ Dark Energy Stars p. 1. ♦ "Space-time undergoes a continuous phase transition near to where general relativity predicts there should be an event horizon. For example, it is expected that gravitational collapse of objects with masses greater than a few solar masses should lead to the formation of a compact object whose surface corresponds to a quantum critical surface for space-time, and whose interior differs from ordinary space-time only in having a much larger vacuum energy."</ref> At that point, the protons will undergo a leaplike redshifting (magnification), so that the universe will instantaneously return to its initial state, which is a uniform blanket of magnified primeval protons (the radius of a primeval proton is about 7.4 metres—1016 times larger than the current radius).
Thus the universe will begin a new cycle of its gravitational evolution. Due to the spatiotemporal fractality of the holographic universe, all of the cycles are perfectly identical—in about 13 billion years from now, you will again be reading this very webpage.
