That could very possibly be.  They are researching quantum entanglement and showing that atoms cannot be described as one and can be separated by great distances.  They react to each other when it comes to spin, momentum and such.  If one has a clockwise rotation on a certain axis the other will be counterclockwise.  Its super cool.  Kind of like a mirror effect, but not.  haah.  So it could be tearing down here only spitting said particles into another universe where they are used as fuel to build.  Ahh, plus a few beers always gets the old thinker going!
