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.

It's been a long time since I've looked at string theory.

As far as grey holes allowing matter to escape after that matter has changed into a different kind of matter, matter is still escaping from the hole. In my understanding that would preclude the formation of the Big Bang singularity, just as escape from a black hole would.

Plainly I don't understand the theories involved, but the subject is fascinating.
