    The Big Bang started from an unfathomably dense singularity, right? Why then didn't that infinitely dense point become a black hole? Surely that density more than met the conditions of the Schwarzschild radius?

    Not everyone agrees the Big Bang started from a singularity. I pointed that out in the other big bang thread.

    There are musings - not provable or disprovable enough to even be called conjectures, let alone theories - that this is in fact what happened, and we're living inside it. It would be a black hole of both unfathomable mass and extremely low density. Apparently the math works out, but there are some theoretical problems with it, the aforementioned lack of (dis-) provability being one of them.

    Probably but nobody knows and my take is we have to combine quantum mechanics and relativity to say anything further. News at 11.
