We don't live in a black hole. Do catch up.

No. You are confident that the universe ends in a singularity when actual physicists are not, and you use 5 significant figures to describe the mass of the universe when you don't even know if you are within a factor of 10,000 of the real answer. > >> >>> >>>> >>>>> >>>>> http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath339.htm >>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Bernhard

Do catch up. "The righteous man is like a frog that lives at the bottom of a well. To him the sky looks like a small round hole." Seriously, is there a reason our universe couldn't be a black hole ah, extruded from some other universe? I can imagine there might be various theoretical understandings that would show such a thing would havek characteristics so different from our universe tht it couldn't be so.

Do catch up. Then why did YOU SAY that the direction to the singularity of the black hole in which we live is in the past? You REALLY need to work on your communication skills. And you are supremely confident that we don't live in a black hole when actual physicists are not. |
