Well, he's awfu good wi the maths... And he's
almost assuredly smarter than both you and I
put together - which I reckon to be muckle smart,
donchaknow. <Cue Predictable Fred-Comment>

Leave the poor b*st*rd alone.

When he addressed the implications of these
cosmological revelations to an audience of
theoretical physicists in California, he was
interrupted with gasps and murmurs: "But, you
can't mean - !" and the like. "Yes," he replied,
"not only *can* _Anything_ be generated by such
a hypermass; but given enough time, _Everything_
*will* be generated by it!" From random photons
and atoms to ham sandwiches to model-Ts to
God And All His Angels. Everything you can
imagine and many things you cannot. God not
only plays dice with the Universe, He hides the
rolls behind his hand!

I presume that's a typo and you meant to say 'can't' survive.

No, silly: "can." What good would it do to be
a God which (like 99.99999999999% of all the
other Stuff being randomly generated) was
instantly destroyed just after It was created?


I that case I think you lost me somewhere in the outer fringes of the
universe.
If it 'can survive near (what's 'near' in this context anyway?) the
protomass' why didn't it just stay 'there' - if there was a 'there' there at
the 'time'?
Oh never mind - you're giving me a ****ing headache.






The Bible says that Man made God in his own image

The bible contains a *lot* of rubbish - and a
lot of Truth as well (mostly in the later bits,
in the form of Philosophy).

And anyway all that stuff above only works if the
Linde-Kallosh model is correct y'know.

Not necessarily; it all comes down to the
issue of Dark Matter/Energy. (Well, and
the melding of that issue with various models
of String Theory.)

I already went into that. String theory can't describe dark energy properly
(apparently). Not this week anyway.




a stochastic intuitive or
insightful approach seems as apt as any other when
discussing which model may eventually prevail.

If so then maybe Buddha wasn't bull****ing about his
'93 eons' stuff efter aw

That was Sagan's view, in the end.

and Yeats (much as I love him too) was a bit overly
spaced out with his 'The falcon cannot hear the falconer'
rantings.

Well, Things do indeed Fall Apart - but then perhaps
they Fall Together again, eventually. */:~}

Which brings us round the curve and back to what I said right at 'the
begining'.

"...Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round

Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars..."



Vibrating In Resonance,


Yeah - we are pretty much in agreement.
Well - I think we are.

Have you heard of the 'Bubbles Theory'?
It explains where all the 'stuff' is going - and coming from.
As universes (yes - plural) contract, neighbouring universes 'expand' to
'fill' the 'nothing' 'where' the 'space' 'once was'.
According to this theory our universe is just an infinitely tiny part of an
infinite number of universes that connect to each other like a mass of
bubbles.
Now that IS big.
I think I prefer bubbles to worm holes - for now anyway.
Now where's that aspirin.
