A universe inside every black hole ?

Fair enough but that link still doesn't explain how things exist inside a black hole with such high gravity. Or how the universe came to be However it does pose it's own question. If all energy does go into a black hole, monsters like that would take a relatively big percentage of the total energy. So what happens 100~500 universes down the line when there isn't enough energy to sustain anything but black holes? i would say that the one and true god keeps things in balance. but as far as this is concerned it is all speculation.

so does string theory come into play here or is it something completely different?

so does string theory come into play here or is it something completely different? i would think all of the rules to our universe would exist in any offspring universes. although the only thing i really know about string theory is that there is a membrane around everything.

The universe is everything. Uni means one. It's the one thing that exists = everything. There may be part of a universe inside a black hole, but if there is something in there (a cosmos.. whatever you want to call it), it's still part of the universe. And yeah, in that 'cosmos' inside the black hole, there may be other black holes with 'cosmos' inside of them, etc. etc. ad infinitum. Scientist only recently defined what a planet is, which resulted in the demotion of Pluto. Why couldn't our definition of what the Universe is change? At this time there is no way to know for sure if the Universe ... [More]

What about the possibility of a black hole existing in another black hole ?

What about the possibility of a black hole existing in another black hole ? if it is from our universe then they combine. if it is from the universe inside the blackhole then yes.

Just to throw my $0.02 to the discussion: Please provide a link to these huge black holes. If you mean things like the Eridanus void then that doesn't make sense as a black hole that has an event horizon that is 3.5 billion light years in diameter is ridiculous. The Eridanus Void is definitely not a black hole. However the idea of a black hole with an event horizon 3.5 billion light years in diameter is not completely ridiculous. Very unlikely, but not ridiculous. For a non-rotated, uncharged black hole (using the Schwartzschild metric) for a 3.5 billion light year radius would require about 1... [More]

It is important to note that black holes are regions of huge gravitational energy, which does not necessarily mean huge gravitational force. The size of a black hole is characterized by the event horizon - that is, "the point of no return". However in a super massive black hole the gravitational force - and, in particular, the gradient of the gravitational force - is not very extreme. For example, the super massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 4 x 106 solar masses. If you are about 2 metres tall, and crossed the event horizon of this black hole feet first, y... [More]

You are thinking purely mathematically, when things like this crop up I think in real terms maybe wrongly but I do. Maybe mathematically it is possible but so is Superlight. Superlight is NOT mathematically possible. Maxwell's equations admit one wave equation, which is equally (at least in natural units) partitioned into electric and magnetic components, and travels at a fixed speed in a vacuum. Do you think our universe exists inside a black hole? No. I think - but I'm not sure - that if it did there would be a preferential direction for the Hubble flow, i.e. along the geodesic to the Univer... [More]

I found something that links to this post about black hole as it talks about magnetic mega-star challenges black hole theory. Wed Aug 18, 8:35 am ET PARIS (AFP) – A neutron star with a mighty magnetic field has thrown down the gauntlet to theories about stellar evolution and the birth of black holes, astronomers reported on Wednesday. The "magnetar" lies in a cluster of stars known as Westerlund 1, located 16,000 light years away in the constellation of Ara, the Altar. Westerlund 1, discovered in 1961 by a Swedish astronomer, is a favoured observation site in stellar physics. It is one of th... [More]
