All this physics stuff...

As fascinated as I am by it, I fear that this is beyond me. My science forte is Biology, and even in that I am extremely limited.

My brain has exploded and now lies in pieces on the floor.

A lot of laws in physics can be viewed as macroscpoic generalizations. Like entropy. It could drop below what it was before for a while, but it will return to a neutral or higher point.

I have to read on this quantum singularity idea. Frankly I don't give a shit though since I'm here now, I wasn't 100 years ago, much less 15 billion, and I most likely won't be 100 from now , much less 15 billion into the future.

I'm happy with now. Lots of xians aren't (they claim to know the truth(tm) of the past and future). What a depressed people.


Thanks for the links Blondie and 357 :P

LOL. You are obviously trolling.
Whatever may be the case, "causes" do not "explain" anything. Sufficient coldness causes liquid water to turn into ice. But this is a mere unexplained fact. It might as well turn liquid water into feathers.
Any cause, including a first cause, explains absolutely nothing. The first cause would itself be an unexplained fact, and an unexplained fact cannot explain anything.

I am curious as to how a quantum singularity would differ from a non-quantum singularity. I've seen these two terms used more or less interchangeably (though not by the same person, fortunately) and am a bit confused about this.
What difference, if any?

Too much hashed-over junk discussion; can't be bothered.....
