Eating up matter, light and energy into a abyss we have no understanding of…. It reminds me of some people I know who suck up our energy and leave us depleted. They also leave gravitational waves that pull others into their vortex.
LOL Steve, you need no mathematical background, since you just grasped the gist of it!
I take it the mathematics is pretty daunting I would not understand most of it. I am a geologist, but went on studying more mathematics and physics, at an engineering level, which is different from theoretical physics.
However, it is surprising to me how simply and clearly such eminent researchers and nobel prize winners are able to explain such complex concepts. It would be the same as you explaining astrology, for example, to a three years old, you must make an effort to utterly simplify the conceptual framework and explain with many fewer words than you commonly use.
Anyhow, yes Steve, you had a pretty great idea, I'm going to simplify further the subject but in small installments and we can discuss such installments. This will be useful to myself as well. I am fascinated by the way the cosmic intelligences, God's lieutenants, came up with such ideas when creating the cosmos. The cosmic entertainment starts from the real beginning, the big bang and never ceases to surpise.
