How does energy move? When the universe exploded into existence, a finite amount of energy was produced. This energy will never diminish, only transfer and transform an infinite number of times. This invisible yet constant transfer is the flow.

Science attempts to explain this flow through various theories. There is the theory of gravity, the theory of dark matter, and the theory that all matter in the universe is composed of vibrating strings. Though distinct, each of these theories ultimately seeks to explain what the energy produced in the great beginning is doing. The flow is everything.

Energy cannot be destroyed. It attracts more energy, only to be dispersed again. When a great exertion of energy occurs, it does not disappear—it flows into other planes of existence. Explosions give the illusion of energy being expelled and lost, but in reality, that energy is displaced, forced into another dimension. A dimension that builds and builds with chaotic energy. Some theorize that this dimension exists within black holes; others claim it is the source of dark matter. Neither is fact.

This dimension, hereafter defined as the Chaos Dimension, is expanding exponentially and is inevitable. It will eventually shatter time itself, overtaking everything that exists. It spreads like a spiderweb through reality, unseen yet looming.

Though there are infinite dimensions, the Chaos Dimension threatens them all, for it alone bridges every other realm. In this way, it is both the most real and the most undefinable—a dimension with no matter, no dark matter, nothing but chaotic energy.

The only way to access this dimension is by exchanging energy—taking from the Chaos Dimension while replacing it with an equal yet opposite force. But this is an impossible equation, a perfect stalemate with no solution. Eventually, the dimension will reach its breaking point. It will no longer be contained. And when it ruptures, it will consume all dimensions, compressing reality into the size of a single cell before exploding outward once more.

The Big Bang erupts, scattering energy into existence. The universe expands as energy is used, until the Chaos Dimension reaches its limit. Then, the cycle resets. The buildup collapses, space and time implode, and all is reborn in a new explosion.

An infinite loop.
