So Often, Science Fiction Helps To Get Young People Interested In Science. That's Why I Don't Mind Talking About Science Fiction. It Has A Real Role To Play: To Seize The Imagination.

Modern Thinking Is That Time Did Not Start With The Big Bang, And That There Was A Multiverse Even Before The Big Bang. In The Inflation Theory, And In String Theory, There Were Universes Before Our Big Bang, And That Big Bangs Are Happening All The Time. Universes Are Formed When Bubbles Collide Or Fission Into Smaller Bubles.

We Believe That Black Holes Collapse To Rings Hitting Very Fast. If You Follow Through The Ring You Don't Die. The Mathematics Says You Fall Straight Through, Perhaps To Another Universe.

I Got A Four Year Scholarship To Harvard, And While I Was There They Wanted To Groom Me For Work In The Star Wars Program Designing Weapons Ignited By Hydrogen Bombs. I Didn't Want To Do That. I Thought About How Many Scientists Had Died In World War Ii.

One Theory Is That The Universe Came From Nothing. I.e. Perhaps Bubble-universes Collided, As In A Bubble Bath, And Gave Birth To The Universe. Or Perhaps The Big Bang Was Created By A Bubble-universe Which Split Into Two Universes. The Universe Does Seem To Be Compatible With Nothing.
