Referring to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7440217.stm, it seems that WMAP data on fluctuations in the microwave background can be interpreted such that "our" "universe" "bubbled off" from a previous "universe". It would also imply that Big Bangs can occur in vast empty spaces. Though I am no physics specialist nor philosopher, such a concept makes very much sense. Why should we be in the "only" "universe" ... And it is a much more "optimistic" than the state described in "The End of Cosmology?", Scientific American, March 2008, where 100 trillion years from now all will be dark.

Mmm but I still like my physically-impossible model where the "other side" of a black hole is a big bang ... and that the singularity is nothing else than the gravity from the "other side" concentrated on one point or small area
