Warren,
I find it good that you stick to your guns. The whole black hole, Big Bang, pre-Big Bank etc. areas have really been evolving a lot lately. New ideas and concepts are cropping up, like dark energy, quantum fluctuations during the inflationary period, or even pre-BB...

Hawking Radiation is a big question mark also. Math looks good, but is it really so in nature? How sure are we really in the black hole area?

Good to have someone presenting an alternate view, it provokes thought. Thanks
