My pet hypothesis is that the universe we experience is on the surface of the singularity of our black hole. This neatly explains some things:
- The Great Attractor would simply be the volume deeper in singularity. The cone of influence for the entire universe tends towards the center of our singularity.
- Dark energy, and the varying quantity of it, would simply be the amount of matter falling into our black hole. It would naturally start as a large amount (consisting of our parent star/mass) and later see variation as matter falls into it.
- Dimensionless physical constants may have been fields in the parent universe. As an infinitely small point, our universe singularity would resolve a continuous gradient to a single value. Our child universes would have a single value of gravity, for example, which could change over time (but would be constant across the universe as they changed).
I've got a huge list of interesting consequences, but as an armchair physicist it's probably all quack science :)

- hnuser123456 7y agoMaybe you already know all this, but to other curious readers: The great attractor is about 200 Mly away. Directly behind it, 600 Mly away from us, is the Shapley Supercluster, towards which the great attractor is itself moving. In the opposite direction is a underdensity, called the "Dipole repeller", and between the two, where we are, is a "dark flow". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapley_Supercluster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapley_Supercluster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_repeller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_repeller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_flow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_flow

- idclip 7y agoI welcome our dark lord, Cthulhu. May his comings bless us for generations to come. If i could write i would write a novel about the great flow. That was awesome and terrifying to read.
- fennecfoxen 7y agoSomeone is probably going to vote your comment down on the premise that Cthulu is unhelpful to the conversation. They shouldn't: it's not any more fantastic than the various laymans' pet theories here which have, for some indecipherable reason, been upvoted to the top of the discussion, despite having no connection to real physics whatsoever.

- idclip 7y agoIn a more serious note; i actually think the imagination and fantasy they is born in alot of people after reading about the mysteries of the universe is responsible for a many physics grad. Taking things /seriously/ is, imo, what keeps people out of stem. Stemmers are, if anything, fantasy rich and colorful people, physicists in particular! Im glad not many people chose to downvote me too :)
