here is link to a U of C theory that theorizes that the universe was formed from an explosion in a black hole. That would account for the finite mass and infinite expansion.
The also theorized eventually this black hole will emerge in the real universe as a white hole.

Any theory is as plausible as any other. However, when we make a hypothesis, we weigh the validity of the hypothesis based upon probability (which is based upon observation.
There is no absolute theory that is certain at this time. There are even hypotheses that the "Big Bang" may not have actually happened, but the preponderance of evidence does support the "Big Bang".
There is a particle accelerator that will be coming online later this year (2007) that scientists hope will give a better idea of the birth of the universe.

Can't say for certain either way. I do believe it is a strong possibility. I am one of those who feel that the universe is finite, therefore black holes are finite. I've considered the possibility that a black hole can gorge on too much mass and eventually explode. It is impossible for me to prove this theory but I always remain open-minded about all things scientific.

Before the big bang there had to be nothing. If a black hole could exist it would have come along much later in the evolution of the universe.
The actual push before time zero may forever be unknowable.

such a universe would have colapsed in on its self quickly and would not last olong at all. mass in the universe is often recycled in such ways though. consider gama ray burst 990123 black holes slamed into eachother and the resulting fireball expanded at almost 100,000 times the speed of light.
or consider the megalanic cloud was once a black hole that seems to have been blasted apart by the milkyways own heavyweight toughf guy sagitarius a west. also black holes never just explode though they can be torn up by larger black holes.

No thats not how the universe came to be. Black Holes sucking each other up and blowing up come on. Sorry not very scientific but it doesent sound kosher to me
