David: Did you read the comments below what you quoted???!!! Swallowing something in Google whole hog is not thinking. The comments are like my reaction, incorrect. A singularity is of tremendous weight and is pure energy. […]

dhw: The only relevant comment I could find was:
“I have never seen this energy you speak of, 2hat (sic) is it and how does one measure its mass”.

I have my doubts about the initial singularity, and must confess that I have never experienced or weighed a singularity or pure energy. You say this is what the theorists tell us, and the theorist I quoted says differently. I am in no position to argue about it. You state these theories as if they were facts, but I'm not happy to swallow them "whole hog" - I like to think about them. That is why I ask questions.

It is certainly good to question what the so-called expert theorists tell us, but they sharply question each other. Remember the 'first' gravitational waves turned into dust. I present a distillation of the general conclusions.
