I think though what got under the skin of a few members was my idea of suggesting that replicating a big-bang in a lab contradicts the idea of the big bang itself, as nothing, nothing, apparently, according to Hawking (what is more south than south) existed before the big bang. And thus to design a big bang experiment would make us nothing. It doesn't take a genius to work that out.
But if the only feasible size of Bang is a literal holocaust, we won't ever see it, however or wherever it was initiated.

The hypothetical Big Bang occurred in vacuo and ex nihilo, with no precedent or supporting matrix. Therefore it can happen again, anywhere, anytime, without human intervention. No need for a laboratory, just watch and wait.Problem is that if Small Bangs are possible, we should be seeing them fairly often, and we don't. But if the only feasible size of Bang is a literal holocaust, we won't ever see it, however or wherever it was initiated.

And its been worked on by the top physicists at MIT. They conclude that its plausible.

You're no a golden child. I am and there's only one of us living at a time.
but to go to the extreme with accusing someone of being a golden child is a little rough. I'm hoping other moderators can look at this.
