The Big Bang model holds that everything that now comprises the universe was once concentrated in a single point of near-infinite density.

Well now, if you concentrated a single atom into single point it would be literally of infinite density, wouldn't it? So how stupid is that? Just wondering.

We know what happened after the ‘Big Bang’ - “The Big Cigarette” okay I stole that from Johnny Carson.

Far out! Except for the fact that everything has a beginning (even his endless cycles of universes), it makes perfect sense. Cool.

That atom of yours is in the 4th dimension.

Before the Big Bang, all of the Universe was contained in a single dimensionless point of infinite heat, and ‘point’ isn’t the right word to use here.

The stupidity and narrow mind of scientists will always blow my mind. Everything has a beginning from something - in that case they can search and brainstorm...the only answer is God - the only beginning possible!!! They can go back and back and back, it HAD to begin with “something”...”there’s no proof that electrons ever decay”. ok..when and how were they created??? It will never make any sense to try to explain the “beginning” if we don’t accept A creation. As simple as that. Now if you are an atheist I understand that you will keep on searching...good for you. You’ll never get bored.

OH.... THANK YOU.

Something to talk about besides the MYSTERY MISSILE and BRISTOL PALIN.

Now I can go back and read the article. Had to get that out to you, right away.

I saw an interesting take on time this week; namely, that time is just another dimension, and just like the others, has no beginning.

According to the article, neither is the word 'before'.

God has no beginning and no end.
Penrose’s view of a cyclical chain is compatible with that mystery.

The actual Gurzadyan & Penrose paper is here:

for those who can understand it, a group to which I do not belong.
