Perhaps the answer is that the "Big Bang" wasn't the first, and these black holes are left over from a prior "universe". In that case, though, why are they so close together.

Yeah, my question is "What isn't prior art?". The summary sure doesn't list anything.

OTOH, it does indicate the direction he wants to push things. He wants these integrated into the lives of people whether they, themselves, use them or not.

That's what it meant ever since RUR. I'll grant that PR people keep spinning different meanings for it though.
