Um. maybe since Tacyons go backward in time, some where in the future
the universe ceases to exist, and it converts all matter and light in to
the energy known as Tacyons, and that travels back in time to the
begining of the unvibers(Big Bang?) and focuses on the singularity,
causing its original expolsion in the first place, just like Nature's
big cycle of everything. Hehe ok this probabaly doesn't make any sense,
but I just made it up.
