Alex, it seems that you and I need to come to common ground with regards to a singularity. I'll go first, it is my understanding that the far end of a black hole i.e. the opposite end where you enter, is what is called a singularity.
Within this region matter ceases to exist i.e. doesn't change or alter form, does not convert to anything, it simply ceases to exist. This is where you must either agree with me or disagree. This is the point that we must settle on, because unless we are both of that belief, we can not move forward which in this case is backward
Let's assume that you agree with my description above, then the tricky part is what comes next.....creation......the big bang......a giant universal burp....call it what you like, but the effect is, the exact opposite of what happens in the singularity in a black hole.
What happens is existence comes into being, as it did 14 billion years ago, why are you having trouble with this concept. It starts, it finishes, it exists, it doesn't exist. Things have been observed popping in and out of existence all the time in quantum theory, this is nothing new.
Just apply the same phenomena on a larger scale, it is so simple, really simple, stop looking for exotic explanations where none exists. Apply Occam's Razor in this instance and you will sleep well tonight.
I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the word infinite, to me it does not exist, it can't. I will admit that existence can last a long time, but definitely not for infinity. Try my model, which is fast gaining support even if not mathematically kosher.
Back to you Alex, can you agree or not on the most basic issue of all, is the universe infinite, is existence infinite, can matter be destroyed - good questions, which I answer No, No and Yes.
Your serve
