Was the pre big-bang universe essentially a highly compact black hole? If everything currently in the universe was densely packed together that should give it the characteristics of a black hole, right?

If it was then does that mean after the bang the universe started expanding faster than the speed of light? Because, as we know that not even light can escape the gravitational field of a black hole.

My physics is fairly basic. So if you could explain either why the universe didn't share the characteristics of a black hole, or if somehow things didn't leave faster than light?

Thanks

So due to recent events... What do you think the probability of World War 3 erupting in the next 5-10 years? Who do you think will take which side? How long do you think it'll last? And what will the world be like when it's over?

Hey, so i've got a sudden craze for a Remote/Radio Controlled petrol powered car.

since i'm new to them i have a few questions for any body with experience....

What are the good makes?

Is 1:8 a good size?

And most importantly to any of them run on regular pump fuel?

Thanks a lot

Which One? Why?

If you search for 'Google' in either of the search engines Google states it has found 1,990,000,000 results and Yahoo states 5,830,000,000 results. However, if you actually try and go deeper into the search results Yahoo doesn't let you go beyond page 100 (1000 hits) and Google only gets to 564 results. Why would this be so?

Note: This is after repeating the search with the initially omitted results.

So i'm looking into chips to get that bit more power and torque out of this BMW. Which ones would you recommend? Also what kinds of gain in BHP, Torque, 0-60 can i expect? and what are the cons of tuning the car (increase in turbo lag, reliability issues etc)?

Thanks

If the probability of me dropping a ball when it is thrown to me (independent event) is 0.1, What is the probability of me dropping it at least once if the ball was thrown to me:

a) twice

b)11 times

c)100 times?

Somebody recently told me that pedestrians have right of way over vehicles on all roads. I find this hard to believe as footpaths are made for people and roads for cars. Anyway can you please clear this out?

I realize this may be different for different roads (roads in residential areas, highways etc) so feel free to give a detailed answer.

When you spill water on a hard surface it spreads a little but still maintains a certain height (try it). What stops it from continuing to spread till is pretty much non existent?

I mean they both have a nucleus and they both have sphere's orbiting around them.

Atoms come in different sizes (in terms of neutrons, protons and electrons) and so do solar systems.

How can we be certain that atoms aren't themselves made u of smaller particles?

Also, assuming that he does pass, do you think he'll be competitive? (i personally don't think so...)

How much faster would my Acer Aspire 5735 if i downgraded from vista to XP? and what about 7 RC?

I use a Sony A700 DSLR. I was just wondering if there is any limit to how often (in terms of shots captured or time kept) major components, such as lenses, would need replacement.

I mean could he have been one of the stigs? I personally dont think so but there's always that possibility.

Btw if you think my question is stupid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifrtlC4NTys)
