Yep, we entered it on Jan. 20th, 2009.
So the Sun is the middle of the known universe!!/s
Somewhere the Monads are getting restless.
Every college freshman develops this theory. Usually while listening to Pink Floyd.
Yes, and it is called “The Communist Wealth Re-Distribution Plan”.
Living in a country run by one
A collection Super-Duper Giant Black Hole that spew universes in different time/space continuum?
Wow ...was that Déjà vu I just experienced?
Smells like it on burrito night.
Black hole?
More like a black hell.
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
Only if you are living in a feral-infested urban area.
I do know that as I age...
...time begins to flow far more quickly...and accelerates. Time, like a river in its everlasting decent becomes a whitewater rage at its narrowest points. I feel I’m entering the neck of life’s hour glass. As it is now, a day goes by like an hour, a week seems like a day... a year like a couple of months, one warm...one cold. This “quickening” has made me very humble.... to prioritized those who are most important in my life... and to discard all those who waste my life.
God is great...Life is Good...and you are so Beautiful. :)
“then the radius of the observable universe increases at the speed of light with age”
I believe that would only be true if our universe is unbounded.
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?
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.
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....
