Using common sense one would ask, *which* one of the big bangs do you have in mind, and even then it would likely be 'net energy negative' if one would consider the entire control 'volume' (before, during and after whatever is decided to be the 'event'). And *then* the same common sense would cause one to ask where the 'missing' part of *that* went. Because common sense says that there should be a 'missing' part in every 'event'. But the same common sense seems to say that the most likely explanation for the 'missing' part is the inability of the observer to perceive it other than as 'missing', or as 'not net negative'. And these two seem to be facets of the same thing. Peter P. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
