In the very far future, our universe will meet one of two fates:  the heat
death, where it expands and decays into nothingness, or a gravitational
collapse.  I've read that it may be possible to create "basement universes"
using wormholes or maybe black holes.  I was wondering if anyone could
provide more info on these basement universes.  How "big" would/could they
be, relative to our own (in terms of total mass/energy content)?  Could
they be completely sealed off from our own, in effect creating a new uni-
verse?  Could laws of physics or universal constants differ in a basement
universe?  And, what would be the fate of a basement universe in the event
that our universe collapses in a Big Crunch?
