We all know about the beginning of the Universe: it was that Big Bang eons 
ago, found by intropolating back to Day One.
  Now, some scientists have successfully calculated when the End will occur, 
according to "Catalyst" (15/7), by use of entropy and black holes.
  Then the Universe will have run down, and all we are left with is lots of 
radiation, which isn't going anywhere.
  The analogies given, however, raise a few questions - the untidy 
teenager's bedroom; and scattered billiard balls.
  While "tidiness" may equate with a pristine state, prior to entropy 
setting in, it may also be merely a concept in human minds - Nature may not 
recognize it.
   Then there are the external factors, as per the analogies - the humans 
and bedroom and billiards remain, even if relative location of clothes and 
billiards are different.
   Maybe God will intervene when the End comes and put all back in Tidy 
fashion, to start again?
   All of which leaves us with the Question: as to how the incipient Big 
Bang got there in the first place?
