Since time is linear [though some would dispute that] the end times have always been upon us.

Linear?

I have trouble seeing “linear” from inside this Chrono Synclastic Infundibulum.

Un-oh, definitely of interest. Thanks BenLurkin!

“Many galaxies appear to have stronger gravity - and thus more mass - than can be explained by their visible matter alone.”

I recall reading a sci-fi book that where many of the dwarf suns are actually bigger suns being seen through dyson spheres.

Well, after doing some light math in my head, I disagree and I'll show my work:

Now I'm having flashbacks from calculus and there's no way I could work those problems out on a supercomputer, let alone in my head.

It's pretty amazing that Hawking can do things like that in his head. I may not agree with the guy but there's no doubt he's one smart dude.

I stole the equations from Wiki's page on Hawking radiation.

Hawking radiation

No doubt zerO will solve this problem of virtual particles. If they're appearing and then disappearing because the anti and regular matter combine; shouldn't we get some energy out of that along the lines of E=MC²???

It’s like learning a language. Once you know the symbols and the syntax, everything else is writing the story.

Due to the fact that they are virtual particles of nearly no mass, they would emit the occasional photon. The crux comes when virtual particle pairs don’t collide or actually form real particles.

Then they form protons and electrons. Then hydrogen. Then gas clouds. Then stars. And the whole shebang starts over again.

Ad infinitum...
