Origin of the Universe

Gosh that is quite difficult to grasp. I'm not going to lie and say that I understand it completely. However i never meant f(x)= 0. The 1/x was easier for me to understand. Thinking about it later after I posted it, I did sort of realize that it would be neither mass nor volume but to be honest, I wasn't completely sure. You did lose me completely with the whole F(r)=-GM/r^2 thing. I never took a physics course and the furthest I have gotten in mathematics was pre calculus. So that went over my head. But I feel comfortable with knowing the idea that the singularity wasn't a physical thing and the 1/x thing. I know I sound very ignorant and uneducated but.. oh well. Thank you for the insight, it did help my understanding a bit.

I came on here thinking that a singularity was a physical thing that popped out of true nothingness through quantum fluctuations. Now I know better.

F(r) simply means a function called "F" were the variable term is "r", example of function F(x)=2x+1, when for instance 3, you substitute x by 3 and you get F(3)=2*3+1=7 (I think you knew that)
A(r)=-GM/r^2 is the aceleration created a mass M, you will find it familiar I present the force F(r)=-GMm/r^2 which is the more familiar Newton equation for the gravitical force. You know that thing that the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of each body divided by the distance squared, well that is just the mathematical form that describes that (and it allows you to tell exactly how much force you get if you have 1 body with mass M [ex. 5kg] another body with mass m [ex. 3kg] and they are at a distance r [ex. 5m] while G is the proportionality constant).

Maybe it was a bit careless of my part to assume that anyone reading what I was writing had at least (what I considered) aa basic level of knowledge of physics and a bit of math. I'm totaly sory I screwed this up.

No no no don't worry you didn't screw it up. If anything you just raised my awareness of how complicated the situation is, which is why scientists don't know too much about it anyway. And because of this, I find it quite funny how creationists will just take this concept and just toss it aside as if it's nothing.

You did help too. When I look into this further, if I happen to run into some things similart to what you said, it will seem more familiar and will sink in a little better. That's just the way I work.
