The Universe is recursive therefore time has no beginning or end.
God is so smart.

So, in summary, the whites won’t let the others in, and the blacks won’t let the others out?

The "wall of galaxies" have been suggestive of such a state, at least for us. LOL. Thanks Red Badger.

... and we’ve only been able to observe the most recent three seconds.

We lived in a black hole for 8 long years, like 7 years of pain + 1....:

First of all, a 1/3 to 2/3 split is not an unexplainable statistical outlier. There could be any number of naturally occurring reasons for it besides just dismissing that close to 50% of galaxies have to spin opposite ways due to statistical predictability. For example, how do you know that 1/3 didn’t get reoriented axially? They may have stayed spinning the same way round their original axis, but began rotating or flipping as a whole in relation to the orientation of the other 2/3.

Secondly, why assume that the spin of the universe (or the proposed ‘black hole’) has to affect all matter the same way? Perhaps there are intrinsic properties about he formation of galaxies that determined how they were affected by the greater influence

"Can we still say “black hole” anymore?"

No, you have to use a capital 'B'.

Time had a beginning we just cannot comprehend it, but yes it will not end. Tomorrow never gets here, it is always today :)

The universe, in some ways, looks a lot like the inside of an atom or a cell. I suspect our entire known universe is located inside a membrane too far away to see.

Today’s new blackhole theory. Don’t get sucked in!

If this new theory is true, then it also proves the old adage that once you go black you never come back

“...there are two primary possible explanations,” team leader Lior Shamir...said in a statement.”

No surprise Space.com ran with the wild “sci-fi movie” explanation.

Still a fun read, though. Thanks for posting.
