Here's a thought!.. If two objects are moving at 3/4 the speed of light, in directly opposite directions, all things being relative, if we percieve one of them as standing still, isn't the other exceeding the "speed of light" considerably?

In a recent editorial, I referred to the fact that Time and Space are absolutes, and the universe is far more infinite that modern physicists are willing to accept.
Time was always there, always. There was no beginning. And it will ALWAYS be there, no end! And so with space, the potential for occupation, and measurement, it doesn't end! "Try to imagine the farthest reaches that light, or man's imagination
could ever reach. The end of the universe, NONSENSE! Whats on the other side? More of the same."

My logic may have already suggested to you that beyond the 'edge' there exists not just "more of the same", empty space, but actually, more stars, more galaxies, more black holes, more vast clouds of Hydrogen atoms, in fact, an infinite number of universes.

So,with those thoughts in mind:
Dr. David Spergel, at Princeton University, a true Einsteinian, supports that the Big Bang was the absolute beginning. The entire universe, that's the entire universe, was once in a chunk the size of a marble. It wasn't in SPACE, it wasn't in TIME, it was just, for lack of a better term, THERE.
Then, David, it exploded; just.. exploded, . that's all, and now, time, space, matter... This is great!
There's a photograph of an active Black Hole in National Geographic Magazine, December, 2005, pg 116-117. The caption reads:
"...The glow - the result of stars heating the dust - reveals clumped regions where new stars are being formed. The bright spot at the galaxies center results from a different heat source; a titanic Black Hole sucking in matter."
I'd love to include the photograph, but National Geographic is tight with pics (except wallpaper).

Imagine the beginning of the universe (at one point in infinity), All the matter in that universe (a really, really big sector, what Dr. Einstein would consider the whole thing) drawn into a huge-very huge-chunk of matter so dense a bit the size of a musk-melon, if placed on the Earth, would cause us to spin out of orbit. Some force-the same force that makes the spiral galaxy spiral-causes it to brake up-to explode- a "big Bang"- and over time, to become the whole Einsteinian Universe.
Then, many black holes come and go, but at some point, two or three of them come into close proximity, the whole universe ( huge, huge sector) becomes involved, and here we go again!
Time and space have always existed, always will exist, and the fact of living things experiencing that is incidental, and quite staggering!

Given the length and breadth of the universe, the vast scope of time, how odd it is! One must ask what is the liklihood that here we are at 'now'; that, at the short span of our lives, it is just at 'during'?!
