Is this the idea that our observable universe is actually inside of a larger black hole?
- platz 8y agoThat's right
- pvinis 8y agoI've never heard of this. Any suggestions on where to read about these theories?
- dpark 8y agoI think you just read everything there is to read about this. To my understanding, the idea that our universe is actually inside a black hole is not a “theory” in the sense that, say, relativity is a theory. It’s pure conjecture, and essentially not falsifiable. It’s more akin to the “theory” that our universe is a computer simulation.
- perfmode 8y agoIt’s the most intuitive explanation I’ve encountered for why we don’t see other life. (They might be inside of black holes.)
- matt_kantor 8y agoThis is not intuitive to me. Why would they be inside black holes and not outside them?
- michaelmrose 8y agoSo what happens to stuff falling into the outside black hole?
- platz 8y agoyou probably still hit what looks like a singularity from your perspective and get spagettified
- michaelmrose 8y agoWouldn't that be additional mass appearing from nothing from the perspective of this universe
- matt_kantor 8y agoMaybe this could be dark energy? WARNING: This comment contains zero science. I didn't even Google it.
