Is the Universe. . .
. . . In Equilibrium?
Equilibrium: A condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others, resulting in a stable, balanced, or unchanging system. The amount of energy contained within the universe can never lessen or grow. Merely change form. If you were outside of the Universe, would it appear to be in equilibrium? Does this affect your mentality, knowing that whatever energy or effort you make, it will all be balanced out and therefore without point?

My beliefs
When you offset the balence, there is a force that realigns everything, the problem is the one who pays the price or gets the reward is not nessicarily you.

I don't care whether the universe is impressed with me or not anymore than I care whether or not I am capable of acheiving flight by flapping my arms vigorously. If I discover that it is even vaguely within my capacity, I might or might not pursue the challenge, but, as it is, whatever and a resounding yawn. I'll stick to impressing myself and others with the challenges which exist within the context of what I can affect.

this is one of the main reason why they lived couple of hundred years old, because at that time, thinking was very simple compare to our today's society. Compare to our today's society, every where we go, everywhere we see, everywhere we hear is comes from thinking, because of due to many thinkings, our life gets shorter then before. I am just letting you know that this is part of Buddah's teaching.

The universe is not in equilibrium per se, though it is approaching equilibrium. The universe is, however, believed to be isotropic, meaning no part of the universe is significantly different or "special".

Scientist debated for decades whether the universe was open or closed. In an open universe all the matter separates at such a speed that the gravity between is not enough to keep everything from flying away. Eventually the suns burn out and everything becomes cold and dead.
In a closed universe all the matter separate at a reduced speed. All the matter is gently slowed by gravity until it actually reverses direction and falls inward again to form a giant black hole. But when the scientists developed better instruments to detect whether the universe was open or closed do you know what they found? It was flat. Neither open nor closed. Perfectly in the middle. Stable.
