Any of u guys thinking what I'm thinking? This (way cool) process MIGHT be a way to resurrect the Hoyle-Gold-Bondi steady state theory (http://www.aip.org/history/cosmology/ideas/bigbang.htm) - if this guy was 200 times the mass of our sun, who is to say we don't all live in the expanding after-math of just such a (albiet much larger) hyper-nova? Maybe the big bang was something similar to this, and has happened an infinite number of times before, and will again. Just a thought, but I never liked the concept of finite time, for aesthetic reasons. If I'm wrong, please (seriously) let me know how, since just naively it seems that the aftermath of this explosion, if scaled up, is similar to the aftermath of the so-called big bang.

Doesn't seem to me to have any resemblance to the Big Bang, other than involving (kinda) a bang that is big.

This explosion didn't produce time or space.

And this explosion had a centre that you can find after the fact. The `centre' of the big bang was everywhere.
