- TL;DR Summary
- At the Big Bang, it would seem that all matter/energy is within its Schwartzchild radius, so is our universe within an enormous black hole?
From a simple point of view, at the time of the big bang, the full energy/matter of the Universe should surely be within its Schwartzchild radius. Thus the entire Universe is within a huge black hole, and can never escape (i.e. is closed). Is this correct?
What about the period of inflation just after the big bang? Did it come to an end because it reached the Schwartzchild radius?
I can't be the only one to have puzzled at the big bang/black hole paradox, but I have not seen it discussed anywhere. I feel sure that the evolution of spacetime must be involved in a significant way.
