Trying to be argued.

That inflation was the reason, but it doesn't really work.

That the uniformity of the Big Bang

Which which distinguishes it from the

Incredible complication that you expect for singularities in black holes.

They're the they're I mean they're so utterly different in in nature.

So you need some explanation for that.

I mean the other half the other element has to do with the collapse of the wave function.

But there there isn't really a common

View I think that is held by most physicists.

I'm not sure what most physicists think.

They usually sh sweep the problem under the carpet, I think, as far as I can make out without recognising it's a serious problem.

I mean people don't sort of recognise that very well.

I don't know what you see, I found it very puzzling.

Because the expectation inside black holes, of course we don't know what goes on inside black holes, but the expectation from independent calculations from a Russian group, Belinsky Lish Lifchitz and Kalatnikov, and Charlie Misner are
