Is Our Big Bang Still in Progress?

[1dave]

We have become aware that our universe had a beginning about 13.7 billion years ago, and therefore will have an end.

Where are we in that process? Near the beginning, middle or near the end?

We have other "singularities" to study and help us answer those questions.

Scientists are of the opinion that "black holes" had to form early on to allow massive hydrogen clouds to form to allow galaxies and the first stars to ignite. Theree is a black hole in the center of each galaxy. As galaxies collide, their black hole merge, as the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies have done many times, and those two are on their way to a collision right now.

Those singularities are in competition to become the next universe!

So Our big bang must have begun long before the demise of the previous universe. Does some of it still linger as the event horizon of our universe continues to expand, engulfing finally it's last far flung particles?

As our universe seems to be still expanding, my guess is that we are still in the early stages.

37 And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.

38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words.

- Moses 1:37-38
