What’s inside black holes? | Avi Loeb

To understand the edges of our universe, we’ll need to explore the edges of our own philosophies.

Black holes represent a moment where our universe ends and folds back upon itself, where relativity and quantum physics collide. Back here on Earth, black holes do something similar - they bring people together from different disciplines to create collisions of thought.
Because black holes are the absolute boundary between what we know and what we don’t, this is a problem that cannot be solved by astronomers, physicists, or mathematicians alone. It also requires philosophers and people who can challenge researchers to think differently.
Cross-disciplinary dialogue isn’t always easy, but the Black Hole Initiative has led to a number of discussions that provide space for the unlimited possibility of collaboration.

I think one of the most beautiful theories is that black holes birth new universes and the Big Bang was a black hole from another universe.

[@Chris.Davies]

A theory is the very highest possible thing in science, and no such theory exists. This concept is not a theory. It is a bullshit idea. And nothing more. A BH can't form another universe because it contains almost nothing. What mechanism are you proposing which would allow a Black Hole to create mass-energy sufficient to create a universe?

So now, from what i understand, the deeper we go into understanding black holes, the closer we come to the realisation that we are not real. And i would like to add, it takes about 1/100 millionth of a second to preconceive and anticipate the reality we are in, and that is how long it takes for us to create that reality out of thin air. And it all happens in our minds. But this is something that philosophers have been speaking about for centuries. And we are about to prove it scientifically. From what I hear it's something about how particles of matter and antimatter interact at the event Horizon of black hole or something like that

[@roadArt132]

@Pickle indeed..

[@roadArt132]

We get a sense of things by quantifying everything, and to measure ourselves against it to get a notion of where we stand. But there will be a point where we'll have to get past that 🌀 and when we no longer find it threatening

[@RedBloodAura]

What do you mean by we aren't real?

[@roadArt132]

@@RedBloodAura there are some branches of philosophy and literature that contemplate the possibility that reality is subjective and malleable, that we are the sculptors of our reality/existence etc etc and it goes deeper and deeper to the point where it even contemplates that reality is a figment of our imagination. Or like they say in Mexico life is a dream death is the awakening. I would go so far saying that there's a part of me that might believe that that's true or just entertains the idea of it being possible. And now it just so happens that science is coming up with some theories that may prove this as true

[@RedBloodAura]

@@roadArt132 what does it mean if they can't prove it? Is it still a theory?

[@brazenzebra]

Gedankenexperiment: What would happen during a large stellar collapse if a degeneracy pressure beyond neutron degeneracy pressure prevented the formation of a singularity? Well, there would be an explosive bounce, an outward push like a supernova explosion, but it would be gravitationally contained. So, the sequencing would be an inward collapse followed by outward explosive push, and this would just keep repeating like a heartbeat. The event horizon would respond to this cycle of matter accelerating inward, then accelerating outward, by oscillating just enough to allow some high-powered, low-frequency radio waves to escape. Unlike weak and undetectectable Hawking radiation, this cyclic radiation escape would be easily detectable. The interior of a BH may be one of the most dynamic spots in the universe. It's just shielded from our view. Maybe JWST will find evidence supporting this hypothesis.

[@The-Well]

Interesting! It would be great to see this mystery unraveled in our lifetime.

I love blackholes. Supermassive Blackhole Sagittarius A is negating our galaxy soon, including our solar system and planet. We're within the event horizon. I even saw a star get sucked into it. It drifted upwards. I also saw stars being sucked into what I believe was a different one. Don't know if the two blackholes have become one yet. The stars were dancing around it. Now... If it's the same smaller one... They get sucked in faster. They're both beautiful. I've also seen what I believe is another one, seemed closer to Earth than the other two. Saw lenticular lensing. Gravitational lensing.

[@jamalbuddy181]

Cap

[@Chris.Davies]

You are insanely ignorant, sorry. The Event Horizon at Sag-A is very small. Planets and stars do not fall into it very often. They orbit around the BH in very eccentric orbits, and we have video of this happening. We know that Sag-A is a single black hole, and it is not in orbit around another one.

[@justinstewart4889]

That's not what is supposed to happen, I'm sorry. We aren't within its event horizon. That also isn't supposed to happen for a very long time.

The universe is spinning just like a giant hamster cage or wheel.. a black hole is a star still.. but.. it collapsed and lost heat from lack of fusion .. so it changes state.. it becomes a galactic liquid.. the universe is more like quicksand then empty space (vacuum) and solids and gasses. Think overall on a big scale? Kinda like quicksand to an outside object..

They are gates to other leafs. Notice the vien in a leaf always has an end end vien at end of leaf. Space only goes so far in certain places. Notice how many different types of leafs there are, no leaf is meant to interact with another, only certain light can get back and forth through. Say you walk in a certain path each day, your creating a code as you take it, each day different socks, shirts, thoughts and emotions at certain points along your path. You leave a trail, now say one-day you for no reason don't think, did a bird just fly by for no reason, or was it trying to show you something, go pick that rock up, examine it. You just broke a coded daily path. That one instance of picking up that rock changed code and set you forth to start noticing more and more, seeing it. Now your everyday "time" path has kept going but not only did you gain higher consciousness from that rock, you gained ability to see how you were meant to see. The air will go thick like walking through plasma. Trails of times and energy around you and not just yours but everyone's. This is your point of origin to begin to travel further or back. This allows you to transfer to any trail, but that is to dangerous so you have to pick one. Once you have done this you will notice alot, your mind will awaken to a level that few minds can handle. But you will truly know your creator and have access to certain things. But know this if you don't bond with that higher consciousness it can get you noticed by other outside entities which have taken a interest in ones chosen to bare keys to ancient knowledge.
