Why doesn't the resonance of the entire universe experience damping?

Featured Replies

Why is it only things of small scale that experience loss of energy relative to the universe size. Heck even the universe is expanding.

As the universe expands, its energy is being diluted over a larger volume; it is cooling. Its final destiny is probably heat death.

Everything in the entire universe is basically in motion and oscillating (in a pattern? who knows). When I talk about resonance I mean for the universe to be in a continued state of peak oscillation at all times for it never lose or gain energy. So its basically in continuous resonance.

 

My question is why is everything at the small scale, relative to the size of the universe always losing energy? But somehow the universe is expanding at the same time.

It isn’t. Why do you think this?

Small objects have somewhere for energy to go (the rest of the universe). While the energy of the universe has nowhere to go (there is nowhere “outside the universe “). 

On the other hand, the total energy of the universe is not well defined, so we can’t really say if it is lost or conserved.

I just learned the words resonance and damping so I was practicing using them in a sentence/question.
