Ina sense gravity is most likely a converse of the strong force in that while the strong force operates over a very short distance, gravity ceases to operate at very short distances within high densities as the result of a this final phase change. Such a process "in reverse" has also been proposed in the Inflationary model which suggest a period when space expanded much more rapidly than at present fora very short period of time. Thus the suggestion that a phase might exist where contraction is much slower then evidenced due to present gravitational forces - and ceases altogether - is a reasonable one. It maybe that gravity did not become operative until the Higg's field or something like it "crystallized out" and will disappear when that entity or state evaporates. If "space" is internalized during absorption, there would be decreasing amounts of it outside the precursor to the Omega Entity to apply inward pressure and squeeze the rest of matter out of existence as some relativists predict. The assertion of some that no force can withstand intense gravity is obviously false or there would never have been a BB in the first place. Further, such squeezing scenarios fail to take into consideration the negative feedback mechanism resulting from the decreased gravitational force due to the loss of the matter that was supposedly squeezed out of existence. Those who believe in Black Holes as more than just dense bodies of matter, have another problem if they also believe that the speed of light cannot be exceeded. In order for light never to escape the gravitational fields of such bodies some process, be it the warping of space or some other mechanism, must be operating faster than the speed of light. Somehow the distance that light travels through "space" must be made to increase faster then the speed of light or gravity must be shown to slow the speed of light, which in turn creates problems for the principles upon which the Hubble expansion is based. Whether or not the Alpha and Omega conditions are precisely similar are two separate creatures or different aspects of one persistent entity The Alpha - Omega Entity and whether or not the Alpha Entity totally expends itself in the formation of space are begged for the moment. The Omega Entity may not exist as an identifiable state until the end of along process of gravitational accumulation and consolidation and resulting phase changes. However, the emission, externalization, out-streaming and absorption, internalization, in- streaming processes are consistent with the equivalence of energy and matter, the absorption and emission of photons, and the concept of a dynamic vacuum. I note that all or nearly all of the major past and present alternatives to this paradigm fall into the trap of having to create something out of nothing, either from a singularity or continuously. This paradigm avoids that pitfall and
