Time Art Treatment

I shall be using a star particle device (CC Particle world) to recreate a cyclic model of the universe over time. I will be aiming to show the balance of this model in a visual style, demonstrating how all energy is finite and how based off this fact it can't be linear (in my view).

The screens on the left and right will be vertically tapered by black bars to represent to relatively small size and confined nature of our still expanding (in the right side ,retracting) universe. These two screens will effectively show the same thing but inverted, as the model for an expanding universe and one for one undergoing the big crunch are almost identical. The two side screens will show a thin stream of small stars that snake down the page, getting larger and more numerous as they flow to/and from the centre screen.

The middle screen will show the stars oscillating in size around a small centre point (call it a singularity) as they begin to move/behave more chaotically (this is synonymous with the behaviour of physics as time as we know it begins to teeter). As the stars move further along their path , they will begin to move more turbulently , the movement of the stars will match the test pics/videos that i took of turbulent flow as many points along the river flowing through farnham and also the manner in which ink diffuses into water (in the ink bath test i did). The turbulent flow will represent how space and time (and spacetime) break down as the universe reaches its turning point, when expansion is no longer possible and the universe begins to reverse and contract.


(insert diagrams here)

The middle screen will flow around the centre point in a similar, if more chaotic, fashion to the Chinese symbol for Ying and Yang (which denotes the balance in all nature, in this case the balance of all energy and the expansion/contraction of this model of the universe) as will the two other screens denote the balance.
