We’re on both sides of the Event Horizon as we speak. ;^)

Let’s say a star collapses on itself thus becoming a black hole. The object that results isn’t any more massive it’s just mire dense. So you might as well ask why this star (and by extension any star) doesn’t engulf everything around it. The answer seems to be that things are moving - fast - and typically away from other things. Also the distances involved are quite large (as a result of all that stuff already having expanded).

I was just explaining a trait of black holes to someone who isn’t even very scientific and it blew his mind.

E = mC^2, right?
Yeah, but he doesn’t really understand what that means. It means a tiny bit of mass converts to a crapload of energy. It also means energy and mass are never destroyed, just converted.

Well, the holographic principle says that even though mass isn’t really ‘preserved’ as mass, the INFORMATION that mass contained IS preserved, perhaps on the sides of the black hole.

So every single impression every molecule in the universe ever has... ever... those impressions are recorded and preserved like bumps on a vinyl record, to be played back by God in the future with His super-duper black hole tape player thingamajig. When the bible says we’ll be held accountable for every single stray word we utter, that evidence will come from these play-back molecules in God’s Recorder, the Black Hole.

It's like Plato's shadow's on the wall. We are stuck in 3 dimensions in a Universe that has ten or more. There was an intense effort to understand these extra parameters but that has been given up because all the possibilities were too immense to grasp.

This is not true... Matter otherwise know as constrained energy consumes spacetime. It is that simple. E=MC2 The constraining of energy causes an event at the planck scale, at the planck time at plank frequency, spacetime or eventspace is consumed and must be replaced. Gravity is not cause by the warping of spacetime but the consumption of it. For some reason our most brilliant minds can’t see the obvious... I could be wrong, and I didn’t stay at a holiday in last night...

Looks like Q is sending a subtle cosmic message.

Well, I’m on the live-cat Schroedinger side for the time being. I am rapidly headed for rhat Heisenberg uncertainty zone.

Fascinating, thx.

It’s often said that we might be living in a black hole. But we look around at our universe and it is expanding. How can the interior of a black hole expand when everything we know about a black hole says it is collapsing, or has collapsed, down to a single mathematical point??? But now maybe we know? If you are on the inside, it is “expanding in.” But if you are on the outside, it’s collapsing. In relativity and quantum mechanics, there are things just as strange or stranger. So I can live with it!

I never look in the direction of a black hole when I utter discouraging words.

Because space is really really big and mostly empty of things to consume.

Is it possible that physical laws can change in extreme conditions? Like before a singularity or just after? Or in the “interior” of a black hole?
If so, we can never figure out what has, or what will, happen. LaPlaces’ demon matters.

You are always looking in the direction of a black hole.

Pretty heady ideas from a former plumber (who never got his Journeyman’s card).

“ That would go against Entropy!.”
Not true.

Entropy has a positive relationship to energy and by inference, complexity.
