The future of matter, life, and space

All matter that exists is hypothesized to have expanded from a singularity. Matter began and changed and changed into the incridible diversity that exists around us today.
Atom became element became compound became consciousness. Why did matter do this? Why did matter divide? Is a static environment the only way for homogeny to exist? Is a static field impossible as a permanent fixture?
All of the energy from the expansion of the singularity must have been ejected unevenly to create hotter pockets of more rapidly expanding universe in some directions more than others. If not, then wouldn't matter have either spread uniformly, not reacting with itself and continue to move out 360 degrees from the singularity or do nothing at all and remain the singularity? What are the implications of a big bang explosion of differentially distributed energy?
If energy isn't destroyed then what happens to these high pressure regions of space when they lose their radiance? Ok, thier radiant energy is preserved as it hurtles through undisturbed space but they can't travel forever can they? Is there such a thing as an accumulation of matter so large that all units of matter will eventually slow down (light included) and gravitate back into it, becoming a singularity?
Is a singularity a perfect radiant body and a black hole a pefect black body? Is a black hole the half way between a singularity and vice versa in a closed system? Is our universe a closed system? Is it proposed that a black hole of porportions large enough to attract the entire universe of matter into it will eventually form and collapse it back into itself, at the same time birthing another singularity to experience a new big bang? Where does entropy fall into this discussion?
Lastly, wouldn't a cingularity need to be composed of the low pressure regions of space too? How is a heat reaction supposed to suck low pressure into it?
These are just some questions I've been thinking about lately. I know this is kind of a stoned rabble but I'd like to at least hear some theorized answers to some of my questions or the current theories of the origins of the universe and its future. Is there any reading I can do that isn't dominated by equations (or is that impossible when discussing this subject?). A lot of the books I read on physics go way into math for me to follow but I remain mesmerized by the principles.
Ummm, thanks for making it all the way through.

lots of questions... few answers...
I like to believe that Consciousness is primal to existence, and that the big bang was the first act of observation. The universe is self-emerging, self-organizing, and self-aware THROUGH living beings.
The uneven distribution of energy is simply an example of emergent-complexity.
All physicality is the result of the self-organization of energy and the dynamicly-emergent behavior that results.
I think I remember Hawking saying that the universe will likely collapse back onto itself, only to expand again. The cyclic universe, the cyclic wave function of existence...

Have you read "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking?
Well worth the time.......and no equations
