The Recycling Universe hypothesis proposes that Einstein's famous equation e = mc2 is reversible under conditions of extreme gravity in that whilst mass may be converted into energy (as in nuclear reactions), energy may be converted into mass within deep gravity wells (within Black Holes) and consequently a viable mechanism for a steady state universe can be defined. Recycling begins with the conversion of mass into energy by two possible processes, evaporation of smaller Black Holes when ...
