Random thoughts on the beginning of the universe. I was thinking about the necessary conditions for the big bang. I think that when a black-hole gets stable enough that it's angular momentum is entirely contained in a 'small area' it will attempt to reach zero mass, which it can't, so it initiates the next big bang. The 'small area' is certainly no larger than the event horizon, but may be even smaller. To get in this state the black hole has to be perfectly symmetrical (at least when measured to the vague 'small area'). It can't reach this condition if it is spinning, the surface must be so smooth that spinning no longer possible, by which I mean it is so smooth that there is no feature which could be said to be moving because every feature is just like every other one. It's critical in this process to consider how a black hole grows. The black hole and other matter collide and merge. It is unlikely that the coalescing masses hit merge seamlessly on the first try. They will first orbit each other increasing the angular velocity of the total (at the expense of a bit of mass). This angular velocity is an indication that the black hole is not symmetrical in all dimensions. The orbit or spin is in some direction and this uneven distribution of mass prevents the black hole from achieving the (attempted) collapse. Even in the case where the mass comes together evenly, there is still other matter in the universe that will invariably tug on one side of the mass more than the other. This tug can be enough to prevent the necessary symmetry that allows the mass to collapse from all directions at once. So, that implies another condition for a big bang is that all other mass in the universe is distant to the point that Penrose referred to as a null infinity. That is to say that any other mass in the universe is so distant that it has no effect larger than the "small amount" which is too small to prevent the ultimate contraction of the mass in question. So, a big bang happens when when a lot of mass gets together, any remaining mass moves off far-far away and the big ball of mass can slowly quit spinning because nothing else is prodding or pushing it. When the angular momentum approaches zero then BANG. As a followup conjecture I wonder if at the time of a big bang the mass of the black hole not only approached zero, but actually achieves zero and the bang happens in what would be negative coordinates as measured in our neck of the universe. This implies that a whole lot of mass disappears from our side of the universe. Perhaps this is the reason our universe is not only expanding, but the expansion is accelerating.
