The discussion explores the intriguing hypothesis that black holes may have played a role in the creation of our universe, suggesting they could act as gateways to other dimensions. Participants question the nature of dark matter and the universe's expansion, pondering what lies beyond its boundaries and whether it expands into "nothing." The conversation touches on the concept of an infinite universe, debating whether it can have a beginning or an edge, and how current cosmological models describe its structure. There is also a call for clarity on complex theories, emphasizing the importance of understanding rather than merely stating opinions. Overall, the thread reflects a deep curiosity about the universe's origins and the fundamental laws governing it.

narrator said:
I guess "big bang" is almost the wrong expression. From nothing, suddenly came everything everywhere. Big Bang is suggestive of an explosion, which suggests a point of origin of the explosion. But hard to find wording that fits.
Indeed.

The term was actually coined by an opponent of the theory in an attempt to cast it in a preposterous light. The name stuck.
