yeah so like thats just your opinion eh?
note that Buddha, Lao tzu, Jesus, Ghandi, Jeff Spicoli and Jerry Garcia are all listed as "great dudes in history"Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I totally get the context of theory as in they're trying to explain a known with an unknown. That unknown COULD be X or Y or Z or.... It's often trying to shoehorn a possibility. Some theories certainly being more of a stretch than others. Some more plausible, and certainly more "provable." We've all certainly see a lot of theories out there come and go. Heck. Many of Mr. Hawking's theories have been proven wrong. He's even proven them wrong himself! This is true of ANY good scientist. It would be junk science if he never did.
I've always found the field absolutely amazing, and it wouldn't exist without (A) solid mathematics, and (B) a certain level of imagination and curiosity. Most of us here would make TERRIBLE theoretical physicists due to that second part, but we wouldn't have enough brain cells to rub together between the entire lot of us to even come close to the great minds of Einstein, Hawking, etc.

So, back to the original work. If the universe can die once all the energy from all the stars dissipates... BUT, there are likely other parallel universes around different dimensions... Is there a broader term that includes all possible universes.. i.e. a universal term that includes everything known and unknown??
FWIW, I believe that when we die the same thing happens to our soul or essence that happens to the light leaving a flashlight after the power is cut and batteries are removed.. It leaves us probably eventually getting sucked in to a black hole somewhere, crushed, then spit out on the other side as something else..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

You're confusing the common usage of "theory" with the scientific meaning. You've described a hypothesis, not a theory. A theory is an overarching framework that accurately describes existing experimental results and observations that have proved or disproved previously suggested hypotheses, but also makes testable predictions about previously unknown phenomenon or untested hypotheses. Wiki has a good explanation of how this applies to physics, specifically:
In physics, the term theory is generally used for a mathematical framework—derived from a small set of basic postulates (usually symmetries—like equality of locations in space or in time, or identity of electrons, etc.)—that is capable of producing experimental predictions for a given category of physical systems. A good example is classical electromagnetism, which encompasses results derived from gauge symmetry (sometimes called gauge invariance) in a form of a few equations called Maxwell's equations. The specific mathematical aspects of classical electromagnetic theory are termed "laws of electromagnetism," reflecting the level of consistent and reproducible evidence that supports them. Within electromagnetic theory generally, there are numerous hypotheses about how electromagnetism applies to specific situations. Many of these hypotheses are already considered to be adequately tested, with new ones always in the making and perhaps untested.
Much of Hawking's work is "theoretical" in the sense that it makes predictions that have yet to be proved or disproved because of major technical challenges to doing so, but the mathematical foundation they are built on is incredibly robust. The mathematical underpinnings of the Theory of Quantum Mechanics make vast numbers of predictions, most of which were untestable when it was first developed. As technology progressed and these predictions became testable not a single result has been inconsistent with the predictions of the Theory.

And I wonder why no other aspect of "Creation" works that way?
I mean, if you want a better mousetrap, you have to work out every fkn step and you can't get rid of the vermin-infested little bastards with "faith-based" mousetraps. KWIM?
Space travel with faith-based orbital mechanics. Any volunteers?
Faith healing,... not reliably efficacious against polio or smallpox (presumably creations of the same faith-craving God too)...
