As with a man. First you're much a hole and then you start to bulge.

You mean I can blame thr Universe on my Middle Age Bulge?

Works for me!

Operative word is “suggests”...nothing more!

[Larry Lucido]

In Michigan, many potholes preceeded many Ford Galaxies.

In Michigan, many potholes preceeded many Ford Galaxies.

And likely succeeded them.

Looks like a Vegas fountain.

Where did the picture come from? Is there a story behind the hole?

When you realize that the galaxies are spinning, something had to be at the center holding it all together from the beginning.

one day they’ll discover that the Universe is just one big recycling center. Singularity, Bang, Expansion, Contraction, repeat infinate amount of times as necessary.

I've seen that speculation. On a timescale of trillions of years.

I’ve been saying for years that Black Holes preceded Galaxies, but did anyone believe me? Hell no! Now I am finally vindicated.

I’m off to the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Scottsdale to sell my classic Galaxie and try to snag a pristine ‘67 Black Hole.

What out for the pulsars on the way.

[james500]

In what way is information preserved between successive creation/destruction cycles that would show that?

[GreyMountainReagan]

what if there is not enough mass to collapse the universe back on itself?(as it looks like) What causes the contraction of the universe?

Not. An object at rest stays at rest without an outside force acting upon it. The singularity contains everything. Something outside of space time has to act on it or it stays a singularity forever. That force is supernatural since it outside of space and time. The big bang exploded the idea of a steady state universe . . .

leaving us with the God as a logical necessity.
