Big Bang question...i like to think this was possible.?

Suppose that the singularity before the big bang was actually a super duper dense, and super duper massive blackhole, that previously swallowed up a past universe...and its repeating now..starting off with small black holes that will eventually merge over time with gravity???

Ya I know..stupid right..had to ask!

    You are perfectly free to think whatever it pleases you to think. We don't have the slightest idea of what was "there" (wherever that might be) "before" (whatever that might mean), and never will have. In terms of the present universe, there was no time, no space, no anything, preceding the "big bang" (if there actually was a big bang). So fantasise away. No-one can contradict you.

    It's not stupid to wonder. Me an my son is wondering the same thing. We think it would fit into the string theory where there has been and will be an eternal series of big bangs. They have to come from somewhere. The black holes also swallow everything, so what happens where there is nothing more to swallow.

    With any scientific question like that, the next question is "so what?". Seriously, if your conjuncture is true what difference would it make for what we can observe? And if your conjuncture is false, what difference would it make for what we can observe? Is there some way to actually see this difference?

    If yes, there is a way, then your hypothesis is science and can be tested.

    If no, there is no way, then your hypothesis is not science.

    It's not stupid. Actually my father once had an idea close to that other than merging gravity.

    Yes Gravity does pull us down, that part is 100% true but to believe in the Big Bang...not really. God has made this Earth, the big bang theory is just what scientists say.
