For more than 100 years the general theory of relativity (GR) as the physical science of the macroworld studied one side of physical reality, the side of planets, stars, and galaxies. During its rise to prominent it blundered as a static theory but quickly recovered by the almost universal stellar or galactic redshifts, the existence of pulsars and quasar, and finally the theoretical discovery of black holes and the big bang singularity. However, side 2 of GR seems to lie beyond the space-time singularity where and when the flow of time stops and the size of ordinary matter disappears. But its density, energy, and temperature all become infinite and a mathematical point is transformed into a dimensionless physical dot of total nothingness. Fortunately, black holes’ existence remain circumstantial which could be replaced in the near future by other more plausible theories without the assumption of any singularity. Nevertheless, complete understanding of side 2 of GR, in one’s opinion, is critical for finding the means of extracting limitless energy from the vacuum. The bonus is a theory of everything.
