----------

Astrophysical black holes (i.e., trapped surfaces) almost certainly
exist, but Hawking [1] and Wald [2] have shown that if black holes are
allowed to exist for unlimited proper time, then they will completely
evaporate, and a fundamental quantum law called "unitarity" will be
violated. Unitarity, which roughly says that probability must be
conserved, thus requires that the universe must cease to exist after
finite proper time, which implies that the universe is closed and has
the spatial topology of a 3-sphere [3]. The Second Law of
Thermodynamics says the amount of entropy--the amount of disorder--in
the universe cannot decrease, but Ellis and Coule [4] and Tipler [5]
have shown that the amount of entropy already in the cosmic microwave
background radiation (CMBR) will eventually contradict the Bekenstein
Bound near the final singularity unless there are no event horizons,
since in the presence of horizons the Bekenstein Bound implies the
universal entropy S is less than or equal that constant (i.e., S)
times the radius of the universe squared, and general relativity
requires the radius of the universe to go to zero at the final
singularity. If there are no horizons then the gravitational shear
energy due to the collapse of the universe itself will increase to
infinity much faster than the radius of the universe going to zero at
the final singularity [5,6]. The absence of event horizons by
definition means that the universe's future c-boundary (causal
boundary) is a single point [7], call it the Omega Point. MacCallum
[8] has shown that a 3-sphere closed universe with a single point
future c-boundary is of measure zero in initial data space (i.e.,
infinitely improbable acting only under blind and dead forces). Barrow
[9,10], Cornish and Levin [11] and Motter [12] have shown that the
evolution of a 3-sphere closed universe into its final singularity is
chaotic. Yorke et al. [13,14] have shown that a chaotic physical
system is likely to evolve into a measure zero state if and only if
its control parameters are intelligently manipulated. Thus life (which
near the final state, is really collectively intelligent computers)
almost certainly must be present arbitrarily close to the final
singularity in order for the known laws of physics to be mutually
consistent at all times. Misner [15,16,17] has shown in effect that
event horizon elimination requires an infinite number of distinct
manipulations, so an infinite amount of information must be processed
between now and the final singularity. The amount of information
stored at any time diverges to infinity as the Omega Point is
approached, since the total entropy of the universe (i.e., S) diverges
to infinity there, implying divergence of the complexity of the system
that must be understood to be controlled.

During life's expansion throughout the universe, baryon annihilation
(via the inverse of electroweak baryogenesis using electroweak quantum
tunneling) is used for life's energy requirements and for interstellar
travel. In the process, the annililation of baryons forces the Higgs
field toward its absolute vacuum, thereby cancelling the positive
cosmological constant and forcing the universe to collapse [6,18].

To find out what physicists have found out about God, read about
mathematical physicist Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point Theory (of
which first appeared in book-form in The Anthropic Cosmological
Principle [1986] co-written by leading astrophysicist Prof. John D.
Barrow along with Tipler, and of which said book received almost
universal praise by the science media) in the below short Wired
article:

Frank J. Tipler, "From 2100 to the End of Time," Wired.
http://geocities.com/theophysics/tip...d-of-time.html

The above article is the best short, popular-level introduction to the
Omega Point Theory.

For more on the technical reasons why the known laws of physics
require that the universe end in the Omega Point, see:

F. J. Tipler, "The structure of the world from pure numbers," Reports
on Progress in Physics, Vol. 68, No. 4 (April 2005), pp. 897-964.

"Feynman-Weinberg Quantum Gravity and the Extended Standard Model as a
Theory of Everything," arXiv:0704.3276, April 24, 2007.
http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3276

The above paper also demonstrates that there has existed a correct
quantum gravity Theory of Everything (TOE) discovered by Richard
Feynman in 1962, and independently discovered by Steven Weinberg and
Bryce DeWitt, among others. But because these physicists were looking
for equations with a finite number of terms, they abandoned this
consistent and qualitatively unique quantum gravity theory. They also
did not realize that the correct quantum gravity theory is consistent
only if a certain set of boundary conditions are imposed (which
includes the initial Big Bang, and the final Omega Point, cosmological
singularities). This correct theory of quantum gravity is term-by-term
finite, but the same mechanism that forces each term in the series to
be finite also forces the entire series to be infinite (i.e.,
infinities that would otherwise occur in the laboratory are transfered
to the cosmological singularities, hence making the universe and life
within it possible). It is a fundamental mathematical fact that this
infinite series is the best that can be done (somewhat analogous to
Liouville's theorem in complex analysis, which says that all analytic
functions other than constants have singularities either a finite
distance from the origin of coordinates or at infinity).

The leading quantum physicist in the world, Prof. David Deutsch
(inventor of the quantum computer [being the first person to
mathematically describe such a device and the first to formulate a
specifically quantum computational algorithm], for which work he won
the Institute of Physics' 1998 Paul Dirac Medal and Prize), defends
Frank Tipler's Omega Point Theory in Chapter 14: "The Ends of the
Universe" in his excellent book The Fabric of Reality, of which
