No. That's not how the spacetime geometry around black holes works.
- pleb_nz 4y agoWould you care to elaborate on that statement?
- pdonis 4y agoThere is nothing in the mathematical description of a black hole (whether a normal black hole or the "black hole" like objects with dark energy inside them that are proposed in the alternative model being discussed here) or the physics that that math describes that corresponds to the ordinary language description "a contraction of local spacetime in a way that gives the impression that local space is static while distant space expands".
