So I'm not a physicist... that doesn't mean I don't think about Physics - it's my favorite branch of Science. Regardless, as I'm watching this Science channel program I came up with this idea. This idea could be completely bogus... have already been presented... or dismissed... or, worse yet, be completely illogical and show my complete lack of understanding of Physics (which is a vast gap, I'll admit).

Black holes are mysterious objects in our universe. An infinitesimally small mass with infinite density and infinite gravity. Nothing can escape it, not even light. Even time has difficulty when it approaches the black hole, breaking down and eventually, possibly stopping. The black hole is a mass of extreme phenomena, even Hawking's formula that describes the black hole draws from nearly every branch of Physics.

Here's my take on things. At the center of a black hole is a point which I have already described. This mass, in the state we know black holes to be, has infinite gravity; however, we know that black holes have the potential to warp, and even break, certain laws of physics - but is it possible for the mass within the black hole to begin to stop following more fundamental laws?

Based on the theory of supersymmetry (yes - going back to the big bang), of the four fundamental forces, gravity was the first to break off. It is conceivable that the first to disappear, then, in this universe will be gravity itself. Why not through a black hole?

Consider this.

Black holes all over the universe form and absorb mass. According to current theory, black holes "evaporate"; however, it could be that this point of infinite mass and density no longer follows gravity - thus, an infinitely small, dense mass (as far as I know) lies where the black hole was - a black core, if you will. All the information of the particles that went within the hole continues to exist within this mass.

Eventually, even this black core will enter another black hole, and so on until there remains a single infinitely small, dense, mass whose temperature continues to approach absolute zero. Visible matter is reduced to practically nothingness; however, this only accounts for 4% of the universe. What happens next?

As the remaining universe begins to cool to 0 K, Dark Energy and Dark Matter contract so as to maintain a critical temperature; however, dark energy and dark matter are not immune to their own gravity. Once a limit is reached, a runaway process begins, collapsing the dark energy and matter in on itself, creating the last "black hole" of the universe - literally.

This Dark Hole, however, is different, compared to conventional black holes - it is infinitely hot. In this microverse for these microseconds, there now remain two infinitely massive, dense points. The Dark Hole's gravity is too much to overcome and the two particles crash. This massive thermal shock (infinitely hot object + mass near absolute zero) causes both materials to shatter and produce.... a big bang.

What's that? When do the other fundamental forces deteriorate? Technically... never: Dark Matter and Dark Energy (the final remaining particles in the universe) still have gravity, thus, it never disappeared - other than for matter itself.

Compression of these forces occur, and it is not inconceivable that the forces all deteriorate a fraction of a yoctosecond during the crash; however, I don't have the mental capacity to describe why this would occur.

So that's it... my big lamebrain theory on the universe. It may already exist, it may spark a revolution, or it'll be dismissed like every other uneducated person's theories... hopefully my explanation at least rings that I have some education in the realm of Physics... even if it is completely wrong.
