The Evolution of the Universe and the formation of Black Holes
... Evolution implies a gradual transition from one state to another, from the simple towards the complex, from the lower towards the higher and vice versa. In the universe, that would presume the transfer of mass into energy and the other way around. Such a process takes place when all forms of energy ...
