Did It Start?

[Batchfile]

Well, me and a friend were debating if we live in a universe or a multi-verse and a question poped up about where matter was once formed.

My friend explained to me how black holes obviously suck up anything crossing it's path and then explained how scientists were still in theory on where the matter spits back out. He told me how he believed in opposite "Light Holes" that spill out matter sucked up by black holes, wrether it be in a different galaxy, or time itself. He then pointed out the law of conservation of matter. Matter is neither destroyed or created, it only changes in form.

Well, the discussion was cut short and I had to leave, but then I questioned myself later on.. When did time begin? When and where did all this matter come from? Could this possibly mean an infinite line of time? Or is it a ray, which comes into conflict with the law of physics. Or are we traveling in circles, doomed to be sucked up, then recycled in a different time.

When and how could it have possibly all started?

Edit: In the opening statement it is suppose to say "Where did matter come from?"

When I go to edit, it does infact, say matter. 0.0

WTF is this a April's fool joke? My thread is spammed with crap I didn't type. Not funny.. Typing with my Wii..

That penop whatever should be

I would have preferred to be Rick Rolled.

Try reading this.

This is a very good one too. From Hawking himself.

Or try reading my description on page... 7 I think from the debate hall religion thread.

Tell your friend that if there were "light holes" spitting out matter, we would probably be able to see them.

 

[AltF4]

They would look like stars. It would be difficult to differentiate them, the theory is actually rather plausible.

Light holes? That's a child's imagination.:-p

From my understanding, anything sucked up by the black hole gets reduced to zero. Inside the black hole, things are rubbed against each other, the farther in, the more intense the rubbing becomes(Which is how a black hole is able to power up Quasars), until it is inevitably reduced to 0.

Alt4's articles are pretty good ways of educating yourself in the subject.

So who's ready for Andromeda:-p?

What do you mean "reduce to zero"? If you mean their mass goes away, then certainly not. But if you just mean they get compressed to a singularity... that's a different matter.

EDIT: No pun intended! lol

No, their masses don't go away. Just gets absorbed:-p. However, their energy (roughly 10%)does get radiated away, something to do with 'accretion.'

Nice pun.
