All this time, it turns out that we may just be living inside a black hole. Physicist Nikodem Poplawski of Indiana University posited that inside each black hole there could exist another universe:
"Maybe the huge black holes at the centre of the Milky Way and other galaxies are bridges to different universes," Poplawski says. If that is correct - and it's a big "if" - there is nothing to rule out our universe itself being inside a black hole. [...]
How would we know if we are living inside a black hole? Well, a spinning black hole would have imparted some spin to the space-time inside it, and this should show up as a "preferred direction" in our universe, says Poplawski. Such a preferred direction would result in the violation of a property of space-time called Lorentz symmetry, which links space and time. It has been suggested that such a violation could be responsible for the observed oscillations of neutrinos from one type to another.
there are lots of good things worth doing on our planet that don't get grant money because they don't sound like comic book plot lines
screw science
i used to love science
science is the new politics
But yeah what is the point of this drivel. Up there with string theory on the "pointless" scale.
If every random idea or wanderings of imagination were stamped down for reasons of practicality, we wouldn't have made an iota of the technological progress we have made.
If anything, it's the "practical" applications of science that are really doing the most damage, as those are the aspects most quickly exploited by huge corporations in search of a profit, at the expense of the environment and/or public health.
For example, no matter how much we think we are at rest, we are always moving at great speeds. The earth is rotating around its axis, the earth is rotating around the sun, the sun/solar system is rotating around the milkyway and so on....So today we don't have any idea really how fast we are moving. This theory at least provides a "spin rate" and from that we could at least descern our speed with respect to the rate of spin of our universe (black hole).
Size is another factor, what defines how large an electron is? We measure it relative to something else. Inside a spinning black hole, with an equal pull in all directions could dictate the size of things, the basic speed of everything, and explain the physics of the universe we live in.
This theory only needs the math now.....Where is Einstein?
