Big Bang in Your Closet?

For long I knew that all the problems of the mind cannot be solved in the level of the mind. For instance, the question of death. Mind as I has envision is like a field which is not algebraically closed just like how the real numbers are insufficient to solve the equation x*x + 1 = 0. However, I did think that the mind is capable of solving almost all analytical questions. By analytical questions I mean the ones that are put forth by science. But yesterday, I had this incredible revelation about a question in science that the mind won't be able to arrive at a solution.

Modern science tells us that there was Big Bang from which the visible universe has expanded from a primordial hot and dense singularity at some finite time in the past. Now we can ask a legitimate question within the domain of science on where was that singularity present - I mean the spatial coordinates of the dense particle. Once we pose this, we realize that the question depends inherently on the notion of distance. Now the concept of distance is a relative measure - we need at least two objects have a distance measure. When all the objects are condensed as a single small package, where does the concept of distance come in? In other words, the Big Bang singularity can never be traced to a specific location in space. Assuming such a thing happened, all we can say is that the singularity could have been anywhere in space. Who knows, it could have been in your closet too.
