SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that the early universe, originating from the Big Bang, did not become a black hole despite its high density and energy. This is because the universe was not a static object; it was expanding rapidly, which differentiates it from conditions that lead to black hole formation. The concept of particles traveling faster than light is dismissed, as the expansion of space allowed for distances to increase without violating the speed of light. Overall, the emergence of the universe is explained as a unique scenario that does not conform to typical gravitational collapse.
