Well I saw this documentary about space on NatGeo TV once and there was a theory that big bang happened from a quasar sucking alot matter maybe all matter down in it where it got compressed and made... can you guess what? a new big bang! It was something like that I remember.

So is it possible we may live in a quasar? :)

What do you think my good lads and ladies?!

I think that (1) it is unprovable, and therefor (2) irrelevant.

But that's just me.

Impossible because we would have to assume the previous universe, like ours. Was excellerating in its expansion.

Well it may be unprovable and I really don't believe in it but it's an interesting POV

That dosen't make a quasar unavailable to suck down mass/energy.

Sufficient amounts, it does. Theoretically if enough mass/energy was in the vicinity of the quasar it could but the question has to assume there was a previous universe like ours. Otherwise the whole thing is bollox and you could assume the previous universe consisted of whatever you could imagine. Like Christians do.
