Life Survival for infinite experiential
time requires expanding to arbitrarily
large spatial volumes. In Dyson’s
open universe theory, the spatial
volume approaches infinity. In the
Omega Point closed universe theory,
the entire universe is taken over by
life.
If the acceleration of the universe
continues at the present rate, all
galaxies outside the Local Group will
eventually pass outside out event
horizon. Life will necessarily die
out, no matter what sort of universe
we live in, open, flat or closed.
So if life is to survive forever,
universal acceleration must be halted.
The Standard Model of particle
physics provides a mechanism, the
same mechanism that explains why
there is more matter than anti-matter:
electroweak quantum tunneling.
The Standard Model says universe’s
acceleration is due quantum gravity’s
positive cosmological constant being
today slightly larger in magnitude
than Higgs field negative energy
density. If no matter existed, these
two would precisely cancel. SM says
matter created in early universe by
electroweak tunneling to false
vacuum, raising Higgs energy density
Therefore, if matter annihilation
occurs by reversing early universe
creation, say by reaction p + e  2g,
(SM says B - L is conserved in
electroweak vacuum tunneling,
but not B or L separately) then
Higgs field will relax to true
minimum, and acceleration stops.
Reasons to believe p + e  2g
process
accessible
to
human
technology in near future given in
my recent paper in Reports on
Progress in Physics 68 (2005),
897- 964. This process will allow
us to convert matter entirely into
energy. Ultimate energy source!
The process p + e  n + n is also
allowed according to SM (both
sides of equation have B - L = 0)
So matter can be converted into
beam of neutrinos, thereby
providing the ultimate rocket:
exhaust particles move at light
speed, but exhaust non-interacting
Prediction: in this century, we will
obtain ultimate power source,
ultimate rocket, artificial intelligence,
nanotechnology, human downloads,
and quantum computers. AI’s and
human downloads will expand off
the Earth, and eventually gain control
of the entire universe! Unitarity
requires it. If the laws of physics be
for us, who can be against us?
Outline of proof that unitarity
requires life to survive forever: if
universe were to expand forever,
then unitarity violated when black
holes evaporate. Unitarity good only
if no event horizons, and general
relativity says EH’s absent only if
universe closed, ends in final
singularity, and life guides universe.
