The question is
Out of Stephen Hawking's book about parallel worlds and and black holes and stuff how can these?
Physical oddities or anomalies be related to what I'm talking about well first
Of all we don't know what a black. Hole is
A black hole has at the center of it a singularity
the definition of
Singularity is you don't know what it is
This is a fishy way of making theories by the way
Stephen Hawking is a prime example
At one point in his career
He was very keen for what were called mini black holes and these were black holes that were
under a
centimeter in size
And a certain reading of his theory required
10 hi 16 of these things in the universe
well when you realize that there's a singularity at the center of each one of them you say will he'll
What kind of physics are you doing if you have a physical theory that has ten high sixteen?
Exceptions to whatever rules it lays down this isn't a theory. This is a sieve that you're waving around in the air
however the black hole does bear on this because
Imagine an observer standing outside
the event horizon of a black hole
Watching an object approach the black
hole what you see and this is similar to the
Argument or the example I gave a few minutes ago over the marble on the edge of the bowl
What you see is this let's make it a spacecraft this spacecraft that approaches the event horizon of the black hole
And then it's caught in the in the gravitational tidal forces of the black hole and it begins to go faster and faster
Around and around faster and faster and at a certain point it
disappears into the singularity
This is from the point of view of an observer outside the system
Now we flash to the stalwart captain and crew on the bridge of this starship
What happens to from their point of view?
what happens is as they sink below the event horizon of the black hole and
Start the descent toward the singularity
Time and space are dilated so dramatically that the singularity
Recedes to an infinite distance, and you fall forever
toward it
Well what I would like to suggest
based on
Well here's what I'd like to suggest
This is one way of thinking about it that our planet is on a collision course with
Something which we actually at our present state of knowledge dev a word for a
black hole is
simply a
Gravitationally massive object so massive that no light can leave it
What I'm talking about is something like that
except that
It isn't so much
gravitationally massive as temporarily
Massive we are being sucked into the body of
Eternity and I think it's going to happen very soon now an obvious objection
That someone would make to this it's a it's a probabilistic
Objection is they would say don't you find it rather?
unusual that your own very
Minut and finite life
Should occur so close to this moment of universal dramatic climax?
Doesn't that clue you to the fact that you might be slightly deluded to which I reply not at all
Because I
Think of this event horizon as a series of like ghost
horizons and
Once you enter into history
What history is is the outer shell of the?
gravitational field of the attractor of the conch wrestles in other words
History is the
Disturbance in nature
which precedes the conquest sense it precedes it by only fifty thousand years a
a
microsecond so a
geological
Microsecond before all life is melted down in the presence of the singularity
There is a curious
interface
zone that is not the
singularity and
not the absence of the
singularity, it's the
singularity in the act of
becoming and it only lasts as I say a
geological
microsecond
