The Myth of the Beginning of Time by Gabriele Veneziano

Hi Radical It was BV that told me to buy this month's Scientific
America mag. It had Gabriele's theory of spacetime existing before the
BB. It was like reading my own thoughts. I could have written that
article,and added the cause of the big bang. It would have my creation
theory,and that is the key to understanding what there was is spacetime
before the big bang.. Go figure Bert

Before the BB there was "gravity" and the intrinsic "energy" of space.
These two identities go to infinity. All that gravity evolved out of
this have finite spacetime. Bert
