Well, if you've ever heard about the concept of a "Wormhole," that's in effect an Einstein-Rosen Bridge. It was realized that implied in the math as to Singularities (Black Holes, y'all) that this would in effect connect two different points in spacetime - either another location in our universe, or even another one entirely.<br /><br />Also implied is the possible existance of White Holes, which have been described as a "Black Hole running backwards." Although theoretically possible, we've never seen one, and doubtful we ever will.<br /><br />Some current (very speculative) thought on this is that the "White Hole" would actually be within another universe, and that in effect the output to it from a singularity here would be the cause of a "Big Bang" there. In short, our Black Holes may well be creating new universes.<br /><br />Hope that helps. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis: </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
