[ WP ] Our universe is constantly expanding . Until one day , it collides with something else .

We called it Bahamut. 
 
 The 21st century was an exciting time for physics after gravity waves and general relativity were proved valid. An entire new cosmological arena was opened to the realm of observation, leading to incredible realizations about the laws of nature guiding the universe. 
 
 Then it happened. 
 
 A distortion in space-time so great that the average flicker of a laser could do no justice in measuring its wake. The relativistic affects of the wave were so great that they could just barely be perceived on a tangible level as a sort of *sudden suspension* in the days events. Passengers on a train reported seeing traffic freeze in the middle of a highway and people in their cars on the same highway turned in shock as the bullet train came to a sudden halt and continued as if nothing had happened. Air traffic control personnel were admitted to psychiatric wards after seeing planes appear to pause mid-flight. The whole world bent as the ripple in space-time phased through the inner solar system. 
 
 It took years to compile the data and seemingly endless hours of calculations by researchers to produce the reason for the sudden space-time quake, as it came to be called. 
 
 Our universe had collided with another object, but what was this object? 
 
 It's mass was beyond that of the observable universe, unlike anything imagined in the realm of reality. Its presence was determined to be separate from the observable universe, thermodynamics would fall apart otherwise. But the most profound discovery of this entire incident was the effect of the collision upon our own universe. 
 
 Expansion had been reversed. Our universe was collapsing at an increasing rate beyond anything we could've imagined. Our conservative estimates placed us at having no more than 1000 years before our own area of space time was ripped asunder. Our foundation was at a loss at what to do, but one thing is certain. 
 
 Bahamut is coming.
