General relativity predicts, all objects will collapse into black holes with no mercy. Quantum mechanics predicts, all objects will expand into infinity instead. From this perspective these two theories have absolutely nothing in common.
LOL And the mass that created the portal doesn't go through the portal? It just conveniently disappears?

However the serial infinite collapses/expansions doesn't solve the problem of the first cause (i.e. the very first expansion in this case). So the term 'infinite' is to be taken with a grain of salt.
LOL And the mass that created the portal doesn't go through the portal? It just conveniently disappears? What about added mass after the portal is formed, there are black holes of various size? This theory shows how implausible a singularity is though. A singularity wouldn't have any mass.
If a universe is born from a black hole, matter which hasn't fallen in yet isn't in the new universe.
Wow, way to get the reporting wrong. LQG goes back to the mid 1980s, when Ashtekar, Lee Smolin, and Carlo Rovelli came up with the notion of loops, which have nothing to do with the absurd looping-universe concept represented in this article. For a good summary, get Lee Smolin's "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity," published in 2002.
Another possibility is repeated Big Bangs that do not end in a collapsed universe. The remnant universe from the Big Bang prior to the one which created present one is beyond the light-horizon; we can't see it. (If true, then the mass of the last universe is still out there, and through gravitational effects, it could be affecting the expansion of the universe we can see.)
Matter doesn't really make it to the singularity. The forces in there are way too extreme for matter in the ordinary sense to continue to exist. So even if a black hole were some sort of portal: On the other side you'd just get high energy photons
Just for argument sake, if an inanimate object were to enter a black hole (e.g. a person's soul), would the information loss paradox apply if the object were to emerge at the other end?
