Maybe the larger universe is identical to the contained universe, like a fractal. That would solve the question. ;)

Would be fun if we find a function f(state, time) such that for f(singularity, 14 billion years) we get our current universe. i.e.: every singularity turns into our exact universe.

  • Implying there’s no such thing as randomness, at any level?

    • No randomness when taking everything into account. I’m not an expert but I still hold out hope that if you know more about the universe than humanity does everything will be known to be deterministic.

      Also implies that all singularities of the same mass are identical. I think this should be less bold of a statement. Let’s speculate that the more mass in the singularity would correspond to higher iterations in something like the Mandelbrot set. More of a resolution enhancement.

      More if a scifi prompt than anything else to be fair.
