I just got finished reading Stephen Hawking's - A Breif History of time. Granted a lot was difficult to understadn, he does mention near middle-end that its possible that there is no such thing as a singularity...which means a black hole is not really a singularity. However a Black hole does cause all space time to no longer exist inside the event horizon.

He does work on deducing that it is possible that even if everything started near a single poiont, that it was possible that everything just condensed to a big fuzzy point...rather then everything being in 1 place at 1 time.

Plus, listening to Astronomy cast, it is explained that there is no center to the universe. However if everything expanded from a singularity...there should be a center.

It was menioned in one of the question shows that the reason this is so difficult to grasp is because we live in a universe with some shape and dimention that we can not understand at all. We can explain it as a 'donut' but its not really donut shaped. Even a Donut has a center.

This is a completely different argument then what I was suggesting before...and should be in a different string.

I think something that helps my train of thought is to thing that there needs to be some critical mass at which a masive expansion is triggered. It should be able to be described mathmatically. Any less mass and you can't have an expansion. More mass would not be allowed as an expansion needs to happen at a critcal mass.

I think it is just too convenient to say that all the matter in the universe comes down to that point of critical mass to create a large expansion. I am suggesting that it takes a finite point of critical mass to have that expansion.
