Hi Everybody,
I hope I'm not being too simplistic and I don't want to stir up a religious debate. We have just derived Einstein's G Law in my graduate course and after seeing how many assumptions we make, it's amazing that so much of our understanding of physics is based on GR. I am left with more questions than answers.
Anyway, as we extrapolate to some "point" in the past; I think that matter, with its immense density, would behave as a black hole right?
But, as we approach a black hole's event horizon doesn't time go to infinity? How do we arrive at a "age of the universe". Why is the Big Bang the most widely accepted theory? With our current understanding (which is pretty much nothing) of what goes on within a black hole there is absolutely no way to falsify this theory it seems.
Let us have a good discussion.
Joe
