Re: “I don't like the 'appearing and disappearing' thing”You'd best try to get over it. "appearing and disappearing" is happening.

e=mc^2 allows us to disappear matter and turn it into energy. The equation also means that m=1/(ec^2), which makes it possible for matter to form out of vast amounts of energy.

The math also allows for particles to be borrowed for very short times from the future. They form, then almost immediately dissolve. They are a statistical anomaly.

Linear accelerators create particles by smashing two other high energy particles together. Most people think that the particulate matter comes together as something new but it's actually that the ENERGY comes together as something new. A few years ago they came together as a Higgs boson. You might remember that.

The strongest of the four forces is the Strong Force, many thousands of times stronger than electromagnetism. It's so strong that it easily binds numerous naturally repellent protons together in a nucleus, perhaps along with neutrons.

Every so often, a neutron makes good an escape despite being held fast by the strong force. This is called beta decay. The way it happens is that the Uncertainty principle makes the neutron's position and velocity uncertain and gives it the ability to reposition itself OUTSIDE of the nucleus. It literally teleports, disappearing from where it was and reappearing somewhere else. The probability of it happening at any given time is low, and the greater the distance the lower the probability - but beta decay could theoretically reposition the particle anywhere in the universe.

Can a singularity do the same thing? Sure, since singularities can be very small. (Quantum black holes have very little mass.) The larger they are, the closer to "it'll never happen" the odds become. And that's about all I know on this topic. The books I've read are pretty old. Your information may be more current.

I was reading something the other day. About a theory that maybe it was not 'Dark Matter' causing the expansion of the 'known universe'. But maybe 'singularities' appearing and disappearing.

I don't like the 'appearing and disappearing' thing . . . But what if there were some super massive 'Black Holes' (also referred to as singularities) out in the black black beyond the observable 'inter-galactic' space? Pulling our 'universe' apart?

Matter-spewing 'singularities' could eliminate the need for dark energy and dark matter

http://www.space.com/the-universe/matter-spewing-singularities-could-eliminate-the-need-for-dark-energy-and-dark-matter

A new model of the cosmos does away with the universe's two most troubling and mysterious elements, dark energy and dark matter, collectively referred to as the dark universe. Here's the idea.

The new concept replaces the dark universe with a multitude of step-like bursts called "transient temporal singularities" that erupt throughout the entire cosmos.

It's possible, scientists say, that these transient temporal singularities could open to flood the universe with matter and energy, causing the very fabric of space to expand. Those rifts would close so quickly they would remain undetectable, leaving us to see the expansion of the cosmos we credit to dark energy, and the gravitational influence we attribute to dark matter.

Now . . .
What happens when a super-massive black hole accumulates tooo much matter . . . Does it explode and give us a localized 'Big Bang' effect?
