Not to worry - there will be some other wild new theory of the cosmos next month.
'Ya got me, RW. None of the other laws of physics are known to hold inside a black hole, so I'm not sure this one would hold, either. How do you define pressure when the mass of a billion stars has been squeezed down to a mathematical point and the volume is zero? Very, very little of this stuff makes any sense to me. But I love it nonetheless! :-)
You still have p, v, R, and T, but in such abstruse mathematical forms that they don't lend themselves well to mental images. They lost me yesterday with that Lorentz symmetry violation. Diffeomorphism? Serious.
Congressional Democrats, out of force of habit, are threatening to filibuster the new findings to keep them from becoming law.
a.k.a. "The proof is in the pudding."
Pudding! |
I'm really restraining myself here!
So, what are the other theorectical dimensions?
And, well, for that matter, what are the three known dimensions?
(Length, height and width/depth?)
How about "sight, sound, and mind"? Never mind, that was the Twilight Zone.
The 3 dimensions, scientists hypothesize, run through a 4th dimension, time. Now as to the 5th through 10th dimensions necessary in this fluid black hole theory are a bit beyond my understanding ...though think of space being bent/warped on a micro micro microscopic level that is invisible beyond our technologies but has a dramatic affect on the structure/stability of space-time.
The fourth dimension is the price, with a dollar as unit of measurement.
As far as the new universal law they are talking about, seems to me all the scientists here are really saying is that black holes have less viscosity (ability to move freely through a liquid) than any other object in the universe, if thought about as a liquid. For example,
Water is 60 x's more viscous than a black hole.
They are saying black holes represent the lowest viscosity fluid in the universe and therefore is a constant and tells you the lowest possible limit of viscosity.
Any three mutually orthogonal directions you'd like to choose.
That is how I feel when I watch an eclipse or a comet or a falling star.
Mark Twain was great even during his lifetime. He had many jobs that gave him a good education and varied experiences with many kinds of people. Something else that helped him achieve greatness in the world was that he was determined. He set goals to write his books and set many goals to write magazine articles, newspaper articles and other types of articles. A third thing that helped him achieve greatness was that he had perseverance. That quality helped him write books because he kept on trying to think of varied ways to write his stories and articles. Finally, Mark Twain learned from his experiences. He learned early on that his readers liked different writing styles. He didn't disappoint them when he wrote his humor, satire, and adventure. If his books got bad ratings, he would know not to try something different. Some of his characteristics were integrity, sense-of-humor, and initiative. Mark Twain's personality was funny, out-going, and cooperative. His humorous and insightful remarks were often quoted around the world, both then and now. Mark Twain will be remembered and quoted for a long time.
Once I achieved that perspective I felt a new level of freedom...you have two choices on your path...
Be good...
or
Be bad...
It is much easier to be good...IMHO.
