Multiplying both sides by i, we have: i^2 = -i^2; hence, -1 = 1, 0 = 2; therefore,

1 = 0.

anybody?

And how does sqrt(1/-1) equal sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1)?

did I say a black hole is a singularity?
I think not.

Look at the underlying factors that that first indicated the Big Bang.

everything in the Universe was moving away from the same point and not only that: the farther away from that point the faster things receded. That is the mechanics of an explosion ,hence the name Big Bang.
But, the same mechanics , in the absence of gravitation requires that every thing stays on it's initial vector so without mass to instantiate gravity there is no way to effect the the particle collisions to instantiate mass in the first place.
So mass would have to be present at the outset and that implies a black hole.

😉 But while I see why 1/i = -i, I still don't see why sqrt(1/-1) = sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1). So my objection stands. "Hmmmmmmm" just would have been a better reply to "Hmmm".

sqrt (1)=1
sqrt(-1)=i

don't they?

I didn't object to that part of your calculation, but the step before. sqrt (a/b) = sqrt(a)/sqrt(b) only works for positive numbers.

how does that help?
somebody says it doesn't appy to negative numbers so it's invalid.
because this is also true
if sqrt (1/-1) does not equal sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1) and in all cases sqrt(1)=1 then doesnt it follow that sqrt(-1) couldn't = i
which it certainly does.

Well, there's more to it than just somebody saying it doesn't apply. Maybe this helps:

I am not sure I understand your last sentence.

|sqrt (1/-1)| = |sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1)| would be correct, if I am not totally confused now.

Since by definition nothing, not even light, can escape the event horizon of a black hole, such a thing could not have existed pre-Big Bang or we'd have no universe.

OK, I should have said "little doubt", there is no doubt in my mind that it did.
I'd say it would be an easy bet to say that some dude on a chess site won't be able to "prove" the big bang to your satisfaction, but there is much about it on the web. Compare what science says about the world we live in and compare that to what Genesis says and ask yourself which account is real.

even after reading the error proofs
it's still has me baffled

this is why I asked for help lol
