    Can you get your head around singularities? Because as much as I do understand, I still don’t understand them.

      I’m gonna rephrase that for both of us, I think (hope):
      We understand better what it is we don’t understand about them.

      What’s weird is I do! After decades of watching and learning I think we’re a 3-dimensional species that can only mathematically measure things via 2-dimensional thinking. (We can only visualize space-time in a single plane for example mentally, honestly)

      All the things that ‘disappear into nothing’ like singularities and even UFO’s I think simply are 4th dimensional in nature if not higher. They dip in and out of what we can perceive and the beings that live there are amused at us crawling around like ants in an ant-hill.
