My mind boggles too.

What time was it before time began? What did the Big Bang singularity expand into, if there isn’t anything beyond our universe? If things that fall into a black hole can’t come back into our universe when the black hole evaporates, where do they go?

If everything that ever existed, time, space, information, and all, is destroyed with every Big Bang cycle, there’s no point to either the universe or us existing at all.

I just can’t believe that.

I rather like the new theory of ‘grey holes’ where light and other matter can slowly dissipate over time. It would mean light particles and other matter changing into other forms of matter, thereby allowing escape. That, IMO would fit in with string theory and could explain a lot of things that are unexplainable with the current ideas of matter, space and time.
