It makes more sense that the universe has permuted through the ages. The big bang certainly gives us a timeline, but is it The beginning? Physicits don't have a consensus here. Einstein wanted a static and unchanging universe, but we have a dynamic universe. Big crunch is long out of favor, there's other death and rebirth stories that are plausible. -Your belief in a single universe is a conviction based on common sense. But common sense in the world of physics has always proved wrong to date... hence my resistance.-Besides, a multiple dimension universe makes a deity much more plausible... -Have you read the latest sciam attacking inflation?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
