Penn State Researchers Look Beyond The Birth Of The Universe
ScienceDaily (May 16, 2006) — According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the Big Bang represents The Beginning, the grand event at which not only matter but space-time itself was born. While classical theories offer no clues about existence before that moment, a research team at Penn State has used quantum gravitational calculations to find threads that lead to an earlier time.

Re: Penn State Researchers Look Beyond The Birth Of The Universe

I wonder if this research might point to the possibility that black holes will one day explode? When a black hole collapses it never really stops, it just gets smaller and smaller (at least that's my understanding) if this is true and at some point quantum effects do indeed cause gravity to become strongly repulsive then could a black hole explode due to this effect?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
