A black hole ends time, in that both time and space amount to the same thing, so if matter is so compressed that it effectively no longer occupies space, it also no longer occupies time.
It’s easy to think of a black hole as a big, black ball, but it is closer to being a “hole” in space and time than a ball.

You pose an interesting point, but then form a conclusion that, ¨Our existence is pointless.¨
Yet something established the particle values you mentioned, and created the space simultaneously (E=mc²).
I think everything was constructed, and that involves reason. God, I love religion and science.

Evidently it's the End of (last year's grant funding) Time at the University of Maryland, ehh Igor?
Time, being a derivative function of state change which progresses with a rate relative to E within the inertial frame(s) in which it is observed...{cough}
Gumby gets it.
What is the decay rate of Bovine PHD Excrement?

Our existence is pointless. Maybe not.
