Big bang versus black hole

Naty1

In this FAQ at the Baez website, the big bang singularity is contrasted with a black and white hole as a possible beginning of our universe.

Is the Big Bang a black hole?

[I'm not interested in answering the title question,which is NO, but rather exploring the differences.]

A few major differences are outlined:


So, the first sentence appears to be a major distinction between a BB and a BH. ok.

Three questions:

what about the temperature difference between the two....less than 3 degrees K for many black holes and 10²⁸ degrees K for the big bang....Does this manifest in the differences or is temperature relatively unimportant?

Also, Is SPACE hardly curved at the big bang, just time, while for a black hole both space and time are severely curved?? If so, does the extreme curvature of time relate to the temperature difference? to the initial expansion/repulsion?

Do we have any quantum insights yet that support, contradict or offer other insights?

edit: from another thread, I saved this partial insight:

Pervect: "Because the stress-energy tensor for expanding matter is different from the stress-energy tensor of non-expanding matter, you can have compact, dense, expanding objects that are not black holes." ok.

I posted this elsewhere:
Sounds interesting, but I do not have any of those predictions.

I checked Lee Smolin's THREE ROADS TO QUANTUM GRAVITY [year 2000] and he discusses LQG
in terms of evolving [Penrose] spin networks in some detail, and has done research himself, but says nothing about the geometry relative to BH and BB...
