You said it better than I could. These are big problems and I think the biggest problem I have is how it was presented to me in school as undeniable fact. As an adult I can study on my own without having to answer to teachers. Some of the Bang theory holds true to a certain extent but so much...

Yes, it was definitely articles like this that got me thinking it was fact over theory. I read too many like that and I respect Hawking's work so much I just took it for granted. I tend to think that like stars, black holes will probably die in many different ways. I am particularly drawn to...

Why have I read about Hawking radiation as if it is proven? This sort of thing gets so confusing! This isn't the first subject this has happened with . This is starting to irritate me. If the amount of energy emitted is far less than what the black hole takes in, it wouldn't disappear, though...

The problem is we don't know if they do eventually evaporate entirely from Hawking radiation, only that they emit it. That slow of a death almost seems meaningless for us. This will be an interesting subject to keep an eye on. It's a shame none of us will live long enough to observe it.

Yes, that's the one. I rather like it because it makes more sense. But maybe those black holes didn't evaporate but instead became one massive white protuberance ( science calls them white holes, but a hole isn't the opposite of a hole) and that is the "singularity" of the Bang. Of course...

My issue is with ancient objects and the BB. There are objects that are too old to fit the 13.8 billion year model. That Methuselah star is my favorite - I read how they pared down it's age through conjecture... Well, element A didn't exist until year X so therefore that's how old the star...

What do you guys think of Penrose's theory of a universe before this one? His evidence involves hotspots in the CBR, but other scientists say they don't see them there.

Are there any theories out there that you think are better than the BBT? CERN has discovered how particles form spontaneously in a vacuum (or at least claim they have, and I believe them) and I am wondering how this might effect cosmology theories. I've read arguments for and against the Bang...

Please explain. Every article and science show (including Nova) I have come into contact with all talk of this mysterious singularity that has no explanation. Now you say there is no singularity. Then what was it that expanded? Now as for this balance of energy- I just went through a month of...

This question is one of the reasons I signed up here. That magical singularity makes no sense. Why would a singularity with infinite density and no mass form spontaneously in an infinite vacuum that contains zero energy? I can see energy forming spontaneously all over the place in a vacuum but I...
