A long time ago I imagined that maybe pulsars were the "other end" of black 
holes, spurting energy into our universe from another...I think that's 
probably been discussed by now, but I can't really find anything on it.  And 
wouldn't it defy the laws of thermodynamics, unless there was some mechanism 
ensuring that no more energy entered our univers than was leaving?  Or would 
the laws have to be tweaked to the "multiverse" instead of universe?
