@phalpern His hands needed to be busy while his mind contemplated the equations. They're not separate, they occurred simultaneously, it's the Gestalt moment.
What if nothing but an infinitely dense super super massive black hole exploded at the big bang.
How could the infinitely dense " original seed" be anything but that.
It's a thought experiment.
So the expanding universe initially was made of pieces of that original black hole speeding away from each other. Pretty powerful explosion needed to tear a super super massive black hole apart.
As they came apart and separated the black hole pieces were obviously "entangled" then, and still are.
The expanding tension created by the entangled black holes being forced apart at a remarkable speed created the original Hawking radiation that brought the original fermions then the original hydrogen into existence.
The universe becomes nothing but the original black holes slowing down and regrouping in some areas into the gravity wells that begin condensing the hydrogen into clouds, stars, galaxies, supernovae,... everything.
The original holes will find each other again as space and time collapse into the big crunch,.. and repeat.
I agree completely, we're using gravity's effect on a sheet to explain gravity and its a 3dimensional force.
Like trying to prove the Bible by using the Bible.
It's not warping a flat sheet-like plane. Like you said it warps 360 degrees 3 dimensionally.
Might be hard to draw.
@konstructivizm It seems the universe is being pulled together gravitationally, at least in our massive section, towards the " Great Attractor". Doesnt this appear to disprove the universe is expanding and this expansion is accelerating. Well...not around here anyway.
We're headed somewhere.
