"You keep missing an important item about cause and effect.
A cause will lead to an effect,
but an effect does not necessarily have a cause.
The process is not reversible.

That is the nature of the future, and why it differs from the past."


Definition: Effect...Something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent)

An effect may be the result of a complex combination of many things, including the necessity of force.

I understand the ideas of how things can come from nothing, or how effects can exist without a material cause; Or, coming from some singular point if that is your premise. I can even explain it, but you are likely to reject my explanations. So, you are left with simple declarations of 'proof' that are unsupported.

If things that once were, can seem to have gone into nothingness, the reverse is also true. A ray of light that was real can become no-thing. The energy and mass that once involved the ray still exists in some dispersed form but the ray is gone from existence. The same is true about the end result of a massive black whole, although you chose to get lost in the details over that one. If I remember right the concluding argument was that mass seeks an r=0 status and there may be evaporative radiation etc before we can declare nothing exists where a black whole once existed. Is that right?

Given enough force against the nature of a Black Hole, we could see things actually emerging from the Black Hole. Right? At this point we aren't aware of force that is that powerful, so the r=0 trend along with radioactive evaporation seems inevitable, right?

The reverse is simply that, although we cannot detect a thing due to something we call singularity or singular uniformity, a thing, or a whole universe of things, can emerge given a force capable of bringing it from that state of singularity. Such a force would be necessary to cause a bang from a universe at or near r=0.

That is not proof of the beginning of time or anything really, it is just one of many plausible explanations for some sort of kick off at the big bang.

Where is your proof?
