Web Mister--The formation of the universe in the big bang would be a component of the formation of the black hole that contains the universe. I will try from the beginning. The old 'cosmic egg' theory was this ball of matter was floating around out there then blew up. Most people envisioned the cosmic egg as something really more akin to a neutron star. That much matter though would form a black hole. The current theory is that the Big Bang springs from an area the size of a pinhead. At the time of the explosion some physical laws may not apply such as gravity. Within tiny fractions of a second after the explosion physical laws do apply as the matter begins to disperse. As gravity takes effect the black hole forms. The Schwarzschild radius leaps out billions of light years. That radius is the boundry of the universe. So the Big Bang is also the formation of a titanic black hole. All the rules of a black hole apply, no matter or light can escape. All the Best Druss
