I don’t like having my mind blown!!!

Or, this is all the work of the hand of God.

Seems a much simpler explanation than any of the contorted guesswork that presents as “science”.

I don’t understand any of this but I do know for sure that time is a mystery.

I once saw the future 3 weeks before a specific event happened - someone died and in a specific place at a specific time. How that happened I’ll never understand. Fortunately I told someone about this before it happened otherwise I would have convinced myself I was imagining things.

Caught beneath the landslide
In a Champagne Supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a Champagne Supernova
A Champagne Supernova...”

One can only hope! :) This stuff makes my head hurt!

The Lunar Eclipse was pretty cool last night. We got up at 2am to observe. Beau was wearing his solar ‘eclipse glasses’ just to crack me up. ;)

Safety FIRST! *SMIRK*

[Can we still say “black hole” anymore?]

Yes, but you can’t use it in conjunction with “Lawdy!”

We all live in a black hole PING !

[stevio]

No no, that’s black ho.

Is our universe trapped inside a black hole?

I dont know, but my hopes and dreams have been there for a while :)

A black hole makes perfect sense. It’s the ultimate containment system. Can’t let this nonsense contaminate the rest of the universe.

We’re just riding on a piece of dust in someone’s pocket

HOLE, not HO.

[rktman]

DOH! Sorry. 😂👍

Read it when it came out. Incredible thought experiment. Now the Hubble seems to be going down that road.

Without a doubt, since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our view of the early universe, but its new findings could put astronomers in a spin. In fact, it could tell us something profound about the birth of the universe by possibly hinting that everything we see around us is sealed within a black hole.

It is all a very interesting riddle, but what difference does it make?

Will it change at all how we perceive the world around us or stars that we see in the night sky?

Will it change the price of eggs?

It will still be the universe as God made it.

Hmmm...
Just as I’ve suspected...

Most current physicists are smoking or ingesting lots of hallucinogens...

I don’t see how such a thing is possible.

"Is our universe trapped inside a black hole?"

... which is trapped inside another black hole, which is trapped inside another black hole, which is trapped inside another black hole, ad infinitum

It's like the myth that the Earth is supported on the back of a tortoise standing on the back of another tortoise and there're "tortoises all the way down."
