    Can you get your head around singularities? Because as much as I do understand, I still don’t understand them.

        That’s interesting, I’m debunking bogus claims of my lil bro from time to time and when pushed it usually ends up in some sort of division by zero (all is everything and everything is all sort of idiocy), does this thing you describe where if you divide by zero your theory is incomplete have a name? Any pointer warmly welcomed!

      I’m gonna rephrase that for both of us, I think (hope):
      We understand better what it is we don’t understand about them.

      What’s weird is I do! After decades of watching and learning I think we’re a 3-dimensional species that can only mathematically measure things via 2-dimensional thinking. (We can only visualize space-time in a single plane for example mentally, honestly)

      All the things that ‘disappear into nothing’ like singularities and even UFO’s I think simply are 4th dimensional in nature if not higher. They dip in and out of what we can perceive and the beings that live there are amused at us crawling around like ants in an ant-hill.
