Regardless of the measurement system used (I’ve seen peaches, apples, baseballs….etc.) the size of the mass that caused the big bang is always less than a light year.
It is commonly agreed that after 1 second, the universe was “x” light years across.
Did the matter have no mass so E=mc² didn’t apply to it (which leads to how did “mass” come into being) or was the speed of light exceeded?
As a side note:
A ball bearing 1 mm in diameter travelling at 417 miles per hour is, at scale, exceeding the speed of light.
By Wikipedia, the Airbus A380’s cruise speed is 561 miles per hour.
Incidentally, if you can find Terry-Thomas’ movie “Spanish Fly” from 1975, it is one of the funniest, ( although a good many professional reviewers disagree with me) bawdiest movies you will see. It is not (by me anyway) pornographic at all; although there are a fair number of topless-lady shots.

It is Elton John night at Stel’s place! That’s OK with me but I won’t have time to listen to everything tonight.
For a guy with a flask at his left arm, he doesn’t look too happy (empty?).
The label on the Coke bottle by the window doesn’t appear to be in English, but I can’t get a resolution high enough to say what language it’s in.
Major Tom, having been out in the universe, could not get back into his tin can.
The Big Bang
Something that has puzzled me for a while now:

“We’re safe from the Evil White Cat here.”
Thanks for that laugh! But, I wouldn’t be too sure.
That was a good movie. I enjoyed it very much.
Apropos of nothing…
Fractured Fairy Tales was one of the consistently best features on those old Rocky & Bullwinkle shows.
I think the prince had a real life 1959 counterpart, but I cannot place him.
Does anybody have an answer?
P.S., happy³, a very good “Apropos of nothing…”
Is this the British Actor for which you search?
Terry-Thomas
He matches.
Thank you.

There’s always later on today!

Me and my buddy enjoying a nice evening.

That’s an apple laptop on the couch.
Octavio Ocampo
LOVE Octavio Ocampo!
The lady faces are, of course, nice, but I like the more elaborate ones. Like the two old people faces made up of young people scenes.
Thanks for the link !
I now have a name for the style, “metamorphic”.
the only time i listened to Elhound John was when he sang his tribute to Lady Diana. he just isn’t my style. sorry.
It’s still spinach month for the rest of today and tomorrow (it’s 18:17 hrs., Tuesday, November 29, 2022 in München as I post this).
