Are We Living In A Black Hole?

More on topic. Yes, by the current theories, we are in a Black Hole. The observable universe is expanding faster than light can get to the edge (just because matter can’t go faster than the speed of light, doesn’t mean that SPACE can’t go faster).

So, light can’t get out of our part of the Universe, ergo, it’s a black hole, as seen from the outside (whatever that means).

This leads to the question: Beyond that, is it full of Hawking Radiation?

Black holes inside of black holes...inside of black holes...inside of....

Possible. But I kind of doubt it.

Is that an oval or is it a circle on an isometric plane?

See the WMAP image on the left?

You can slow all that Down to a crawl simply by cultivating a sense
Of boredom. Works like a charm.
Also a feeling of contentedness
will make those moments at long
Stoplights zip right by.

Brezhnev took Afghanistan, Begin took beirut, Galtieri took the Union Jack, and Maggie over lunch one day took a cruiser with all hands apparently to make him give it back.

If space is expanding, what is it expanding into? Non-space?

I remember Art Bell talking about this in a similar sense back in 1995 or so where maybe “baby big bangs” are really the quasars and they add their universes to ours thus expanding it in this manner.

when I get to heaven this will be one of the many questions I will have the answer too. Next will be who built the pryamids and why. then is Jimmy Hoffa really dead

And what do they ship styrofoam in?

the great mysteries of the universe shall be known!

[dfwgator]

You mean. how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a Tootsie Pop?

[RginTN]

That is known...4!

[dfwgator]

I thought it was 3.

If space is expanding, what is it expanding into? Non-space?

It is creating space as it expands. It doesn't make sense to ask what was there before there was anything there.

[steve86]

But, admittedly, it is a very human question to ask.

[trebb]

If so - light must move really slooooooooow in a black hole for it to take so dang long to get from one side to the other. Maybe on a patient search for a way to escape....

Every college freshman develops this theory. Usually while listening to Pink Floyd.

And the theory comes to you all at once. Just before you exhale.

[Conan the Librarian]

AH! The question.

No one knows, no one will ever know, we’ll only have guesses.

We have no definition of what is beyond all that is.
