I never said it WAS idiot -- I said that everwhere THEN was much the same (as anyplace else THEN), whereas NOW, on average, everywhere NOW is pretty much the same as anywhere else NOW (apart from small perturbations like galaxies and clusters of galaxies.......) What you said was "Hence everywhere is pretty much like everywhere else because it always WAS." Now who's the idiot? Would you like to apologize now?

Not true, on ANY count. STANDARD beginners level cosmology (General relativity) has a singularity at the Big Bang. Carefully stated, OUR universe began then, because if you take the singularity seriously, not clear how any information about anything earlier could have got through. Once you begin to modify classical GR (string theory, loop quantum gravity), then you get the prospect of a before. Actually, the previous stages of the universe concept is quite old, and various possibilities have been discussed. Just all gets a bit hung=up because we can't do quantum gravity yet, hence don't really have the tools to describe exactly what went on right back at OUR start, even if it wasn't THE start................. Hence we have yet another thread spoiled by gross inaccuracies, ones that have been pointed out before as incorrect, yet ignored by the usual sock-puppets............. This is just a U-turn. Thought only politicians did that.
