What if the universe isn’t just expanding… what if it’s rebounding?” According to Slern’s notebook, Springthioum Theory suggests:that universe behaves like a tensioned spring. Energy isn’t just lost — it’s temporarily compressed.Large systems (like planets, economies, even societies) follow rebound cycles.If...
