A different theory is needed, but the universe does behave as described by general relativity on some levels (particularly as you approach the big bang) and the Planck length theory needs to be continuous with general relativity (just as quantum electrodynamics is continuous with classical physics). That is, they must feed into one another at the appropriate size scales.
But what is clear is that the question: Quote: |
My simple question is, where did this ball of matter come from?
| is not necessarily valid as a question as people assume. People assume that causality applies at all times because it does on earth. People take the deist argument because they assume ahead of time that the notion of "Before" always applies (because it does here). What should be the approach of people who take this argument is to wait until the evidence is in or to participate in the high energy particle physics that gives us insight into this question.
