It depends on the rules and what ID is required. A while back (maybe a couple of years) Jim Wright (former speaker of the house, since you may not know) had major difficulties obtaining ID that was acceptable to v**e in Texas.

Little tommie, again you mislead and lie to UHH. Wright was 90 years old at the time, the year was 2011, and he was trying to use an expired Drivers License and another ID that was not valid.

These beliefs are generally unsubstantiated. They are as bad as a belief in a god, except for the lack of moral direction.

There is no way to determine if the universe is cyclical, or not, or even unique.

True but they are beliefs substantiated by science or not. They are what they are.

As for the universe being cyclical or not, I realize it is still expanding. However, there is the matter of black matter, an unknown commodity and energy which is a form of matter and vice versa.

Then there is the question of what happens to time as the universe expands, since time and space are a continuum.

So, having an ID for any reason is not rascist. That’s good news. I use mine to v**e. It’s needed where I live. Seems a simple matter.

ID's are not exactly r****t but they are also unnecessary. However, gerrymandering can be at least partially r****t and v**er repression by not having enough polling stations or b****ts available causing extremely long lines in b****s districts is r****t.

These were all the ID he had needed for years. It wasn't a matter of him being unknown. What lie did I tell?

Oh, I'm impressed.

That would be up to you. If he believed that, and said he believed that, you would be out of line to call his statement false. That doesn't mean his belief is correct. If he were a teacher and was teaching that I believe some action would be in order. If he were a geezer posting it on Facebook, probably not. The "big bang" seems rather complex to me. I accept it because of who it is supported by. The universe is to complex for most if any of us to truly understand it all, and none of us have first hand knowledge of more than a bit of it.

Or everyone can stop looking for r****m where it does not exist.

Little tommie, if you can't figure out that you misled everyone by making it sound like a current event, then you have bigger problems than I thought. Try using an expired ID and tell us all how it works for you. It won't.

So Hawking, Greene, Penrose et al using actual science are all wrong?

But in spite of all the weasel words you still didnt answer myquestion

No, they aren't wrong. And yes, I did answer your question.

If you didn't like the answer, go read a book.

So then, v****g is rascist now? Dem districts do have problems but they should fix it.

Swing and a miss as it is well established physics that the universe lacks sufficient mass to revert to a singularity.

That being said, you answered a question that I didn’t ask.

You may find this interesting.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe

Factors that need to be considered in determining the universe's origin and ultimate fate include: the average motions of galaxies, the shape and structure of the universe, and the amount of dark matter and dark energy that the universe contains.

It is possible that the destruction of the universe may entail the complete cessation of time and reality.

Theories about the end of the universe Edit
The fate of the universe is determined by its density. The preponderance of evidence to date, based on measurements of the rate of expansion and the mass density, favors a universe that will continue to expand indefinitely, resulting in the "Big Freeze" scenario below.[9] However, observations are not conclusive, and alternative models are still possible.[10]

I may be even less informed about the "big bang" then I thought I was, and I had no illusion that I was very informed. This part about the collapse of a previous universe, is it a theory supported by at least some scientists, or is it just what makes sense to you? Np judgement either way.

Last I heard it is still supported by Scientists, but that was a long time ago. If Singularity is what caused the Big Bang then what caused that singularity. Time to watch so more of Michio Kaku.

No they aren’t and no you didn’t ... at this point I doubt you even understood it.

What is on the other side of the singularity is not just unknown, but unknowable.

You are so far from being a Libertarian it’s absurd that you believe you are one.
