SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies misconceptions about the Big Bang Theory and black holes. The Big Bang Theory does not propose a singular creation event but describes a hot, dense state of the universe that evolved over time. It emphasizes that the early universe was characterized by rapid expansion, preventing the matter and radiation from collapsing into a black hole. The distinction between the expanding universe and the nature of black holes is critical to understanding why we do not live inside one.
