Big Bang and Black Holes

Prior to July, 1995, ZetaTalk stated that Big Bangs were a local event, combined with Black Holes as a renewal agent in the Universe. During the 2001 sci.astro debates, it was pointed out that an article in the May, 2001 Smithsonian Magazine pointed to just that.

In the article in the magazine (and reproduced in miniature on the web) is a computer and artistic rendering of the data from the current sky surveys. What stunned me so when I look at the picture (and I highly recommend the actual magazine, the *.gif loses a lot in shrinkage) is how clearly a "bubble" universe comes across. The galaxies are all located on the surface of imaginary bubbles (rendered in the picture) and the great wall just happens to be at the collision of a number of bubbles. Some bubbles are large, some are small. (Small is of course, relative, all of these structures are so large it is hard to truly comprehend). In other words, the repeating pattern of "local big bangs" model, as proposed by the Zetas, fits incredibly well with the picture we see. At the center of each bubble (a long time ago) was that enormous black hole they mention.
