Hi: Really interesting!

This is not to detract from the beauty of the pictures and animation on that French website, but consider an attempt to portray a universe becoming nothing (singular), everywhere, simultaneously- and then instantly reorganizing and reforming in reversed polarity on the other side (yet so near) of space time.

The item on the French site "depicting" the beginning of the universe, could never begin to do such a multidimensional concept justice! Such a Euclidean, origin at a geometric point idea, is not only misleading, and seriously so, but plain wrong. There are coordinates in the GR universe where everything, while positionally at opposite ends of the universe, still is everywhere and nowhere- and has common origin.

Now we know why "Black Hole Entropy" is a major topic in physics! Yet, the Geometric point idea even confuses university professors. They imagine a spinning black hole...a geometric point...consuming the universe...the same simple, profound and basic mistake made in the imagination of the high school student.

In the beginning and at the end of the universal cycle, all spin cancels out to amorphous singular nothing- everywhere. With unimaginable heat and momentum, the universe "bounces" into the arms of itself. Yet, in 7-D, each "Big Bang" (one for each of the "two-spheres") involves only 1/2 of the mass of the universe. In the fact that the mass of each "hemisphere" is conserved, we find preservation of complexity, conservation of matter and energy, prevention of instantaneous disappearance down the proverbial drain pipe, balance- a universe which from most frames seems to ride the fine line between open and closed- and Seemingly "flat" space. Because of the cosmologically almost motionless nature of change, from our frame, we can still see the Big Crunch and Big Bang from a distance- submicroscopically and macrocsopically (astronomically).

What is 15 Billion years anyway? We view the prospect of cosmological time with awe, even fear. We live 70 years and the prospect of dying for cosmological time-or forever- is frightening...yet cosmological time is only 10 to the minus 33rd Centimeters away- everywhere!

Everything in the universe, including me and the "stuff" of which I am made, along with the complexity that is "me" at these space time coordinates I call my "life", is positioned in the same place forever. "Jack" most definitely did NOT build this house! This universe, including me was built to last, last, last!

Pardon me, but I'm reminded once again of a metaphysical, intuitive insight; "we have an everlasting house, not built with hands, eternal in the heavens!"

Best Wishes,

Sam Cox
