Then why do you suppose that so many of the most brilliant minds in science have devoted their lives to studying it?
Several people have mentioned this on FR but the evos here do not appear capable of absorbing it or handling it: having everything, all the mass, energy, and everything in the universe collapsed to a point would be the ultimate black hole.
Tell me, what is the total energy of the universe? What would you say if I told you that it is something very close to zero?
Nothing could bang its way out of that, big, little, or otherwise.
What makes you think we are out of that? According to inflationary cosmology, we are in a black hole right now.
The whole notion is idiotic and PatrickHenry and several of these people who make all the noise on FR on these topics are basically a bunch of idiots.
It's aggressively ignorant statements like that that make FreeRepublic--and conservatism in general--into a laughing stock.
