the theory is poised to make predictions we can actually test. Just wait. 5 trillion years. You'll see.

..and Multivac thought and thought about "the last question"!
Finally the answer came to him and he said:
"Let there be light!!!!"

My girlfriend is being nice to me tonight and tells me it just seemed like the universe didn’t exist before the big bang.

So, instead of a “big bang” it’s a “big BOING”

my thought exactly, what big bang! Perhaps the one that followed right after:
And God said, "Let there be..." ???
Just sayin', that's one way to look at it.

he theory that the recycled universe was based on, called loop quantum cosmology (LQC), had managed to illuminate the very birth of the universeI wonder if this is related to Loop Quantum Gravity, a non-string based approach to quantum gravity?...Well, I looked it up, and yes it is.
To: LibWhacker
I bet it existed before the Bigger bang!

The "In the Beginning" part ~ that Big Bang.

LQC is in fact the first tangible application of another theory called loop quantum gravity, which cunningly combines Einstein's theory of gravity with quantum mechanics.D'oh! That's what I get for commenting before reading the article.

Funny you should mention it!

The "In the Beginning" part ~ that Big Bang. I've always liked the idea that the scientific theory of the Big Bang, and God's words, "Let there be light", were harmonious, possibly even synonymous.
Just IMO, of course...

As soon as I can find a big enough power supply for my time machine, I'll check it out and let you know.
