For all potential black holes and existing black holes in our universe, their singularity lies or lay in their future. For our universe as a whole, its singularity lies in the past. Always. It is a critical difference.

That said, you can extrapolate a bit - assuming a cyclic universe, the universe would oscillate between singularity/expressed universe/singularity/experessed universe (essentially, the same 'thing', just in different/changing quantum states overall). So...does that mean the singluarity condition also lies in our future? Could there be some mechanism in place that prevents us from 'knowing' it? But to avoid getting too far off track too early, I'd like to try to explore the idea in the OP and see how/if it is refuted, or - better - letting is 'stand' for a bit and exploring just how things WOULD seem if somehow some effect as described could be the case. If it is something 'possible', then it would seem to be a simpler answer than some being proposed now; then again, it also doesn't necessarily exclude them, either, but points to a way to perhaps both explain and overcome the problems with the observations, too (e.g. I assume that a cyclic universe IS the case (for other reasons, too) so that SOMEHOW some mechanism IS available for overcoming the (apparent) increasing acceleration of cosmic expansion.

Assuming no rotation, at the center of the black hole there exists a general relativity-provided point known as a singularity. At the outer edge, you have an event horizon, inside of which not even light can escape (save for Hawking radiation as provided for by quantum mechanics). The event horizon has a radius Re. You propose Schwarzchild's time vector as a way of looking at the time arrow, namely that it can only point inward anywhere inside the event horizon, and will be curved so as to remain within the event horizon. Thus, there wouldn't be a "light cone" as erroneously reported, but a "light sphere" where the outermost edge is coincidental with the source within the event horizon. Even if the observer could withstand the billions of Gs (calculated to sheer subatomic particles from one another) as it passes through the event horizon, because of the curvature of space-time, things would actually appear quite normal. If a superluminal event occurred at the singularity, it would appear to be a "Big Bang" event. Is that about right? If so, here's a couple of my own thoughts: 1. The "universe" inside the event horizon would not be uniform, and noticeable sheering of both density of apparent stars and red-shifting would occur near the direction of the event horizon. 2. Although you said "time slows down," that's a misnomer. In the presence of such a gravitational field (nearing the event horizon) the passage of time slows down for the observer, but it keeps passing. In reality, events external to the observer appear to the observer to accelerate to near or at infinity by the time the observe impacts the event horizon. The observer's last second before impacting the event horizon might take minutes, hours, or years. Thus, the observer's last observation is of a large black hole approaching him with ever-increasing acceleration, until black-out. 3. It's possible that beyond the event horizon, the passage of time stops for the observer (as it does for a photon), but the observer (or what's left of him) continues to move towards and become one with the singularity. 4. I believe if the singularity theory holds (no actual edge to the mass), I believe that inside the event horizon you would experience nothing until you hit the singularity. 5. If there is an actual edge to the mass, however, it would itself still constitute an event horizon, so I believe the same thing would be experienced between Re and Rm (radius of the mass). Once you're at the "mass's" edge, I believe the accumulated energies are so great, that matter exists only as an incredibly dense photon, quark, and lepton soup. |

one thing...
i am not talking about a 'big bang' happening within 'a' black hole ( don't even think it could be possible). i am talking about 'the' Big Bang. there is a brief superluminal inflationary period associated, as you know; it still seems to me this would also serve to create/inflate an event horizon of it's own 'around' the entire universe and there'd be no 'central' singularity. my question is about how this would be percieved internally, especially if somehow there was some sort of 'limit' to it or if 'normal' inflation managed somehow to 'catch up'. in other words, is it possible for there to be a similar flip between the r and t radius of the universe under some conditions, and if so, what would the effect of that be, how would the effect seem to propagate, and how would it appear/be percieved? PS: i realize relativity calls for a point-like singularity in black holes; QM forbids this, however, and i think it makes more sense; in any case, it makes no difference practically speaking for this case if a black hole is a mass compressed to some small multiple of the planck length or a point particle (such problems arise in other contexts). nature may abhor a vacuum, but i am certain it absolutely despises infinities. ;o)

I think we can still call it a 'singularity'. and consider seriously - how WOULD you describe such a thing? i can't imagine it being a composite entity with any structure that would be meaningful beyond it being a 'complex' quantum particle/entity...that would be the effect, i'd think, of 'mashing' the particles that fall into/onto it together.

How's this for a crazy theory:
"The shape of the particle soup (actual matter) in a black hole is precisely the same shape and size as it's event horizon. Corollary: It's density is uniform throughout." Scares me just thinking about it! But, for a moment, let's so postulate... Then we would have an ellipsoid, a 3D figurewith all planar cross sections which are either ellipses or circles. It would have three semi-axes, a, b, and c. The semi-axes are half the length of the diameter, and occur through the longest diameter, the shortest, and an orthoganal to both. The volume would be: V = (4 Pi/3)abc This would cause the density to be D=M/V, where M is the mass of the black hole. Given uniformity of a rotating black hole, we can assume that two of the axes (b and c) equal each other, which would make a the polar axis. Then, the formula would become: V = (4 Pi/3)a*b^2 Where b is the equitorial axis. Now the formula for density is D=3*M/(4*Pi*a*b^2) The big question is (since this is one of those back of napkin theories), does this hold true given what we know about the masses and size of black holes across a wide number of equivalent solar masses? Or don't we know enough yet to actually calculate a polar and equitorial diamter? |

I further think there's a limit, and when that limit is hit, the singularity immediately and completely decomposes (almost 'shatters') into myriad particles in the simplest states possible, states which are defined at that time and determines how the process of 're-assembly' back to the singularity state will procede (eg. new instantiation of a/the universe, with different elemental properties/constants/values that govern how it can/will change or evolve during that process. the 'shattering' is brief could be interpreted as an 'inflationary' period which perhaps lasts until there's sufficient organization for gravity and other properties to emerge and 'slow' it down. needs work, though - i know. it's just a very simplified/high-level summation of a working proposition for the moment.

Interesting, but the term "singularity" refers to a single point. If you're talking "particles" in the plural, you're assuming some form of dimension, at which point the term "singularity" no longer applies.

It need not be a "point". And even then, what do you mean by point? That depends on your coordinates. A stationary Schwarzschild observer says the singularity is a point at r = 0 that exists for all time. It's not a "point" in space-time, but a surface. A radial free faller sees no singularity in space, but one in time. To him, the singularity is a point in time that occurs over all space. Now, go to a Kerr black hole. The singularity there to a stationary Kerr observer is not a spatial point, but a spatial ring, a 1 dimensional circle. The curvature still blows up there, but blows up all along that ring, not just at a single point. Different observers there will see all sorts of complicated things different from the stationary observer. And finally, consider the proposed Big Rip scenario. At finite time, the scale factor becomes infinite. Space-time blows up everywhere in yet a different way than the above. -Richard |

Schwarzschild is great for determing 'geometries' and volumes and sizes of things, BUT it is a Static solution. It is not so good at determining movement. Also, Einstein made decisions about what makes up 'space/time' in formulating both SR and GR, part of which is.... Quote:
Quote:
For a Schwarzschild black hole, we have an Event horizon spiraling down to r=0...a Point...we know that because the Big Bang can only get down to T=10^-43 seconds=10^-33 length/Planck Length/size. SO, r=0 here would simply be the 'center' of the 'point' Now, I believe you and Tim Thompson have both agreed/capitulated/whatever, that ALL known black holes have an accretion disc that is rotating, and therefore all black holes should have a Ring Singularity. That therefore has eliminated r=0. I believe you understand that 'singularity' is a placeholder for 'what is really happening there'. Now, the whole idea of 'shrinking the universe down to a point' was based on the gravitational collapse of the universe to that point...the Big Crunch... So, 1. how does this even apply...[To him, the singularity is a point in time that occurs over all space.]? BUT, much more importantly, IF the universe does have a Black Hole solution that can describe its initial conditions, wouldn't the Ring Singularity eliminating the r=0 and the defining of 10^-33 Planck size "Point" that would fit 'through' that Ring, the Ring actually defining the Point size ?(and it should be 2d, shouldn't it? and may even be 3d if it is a torus, or as Tim indicated a "Locus" of points) In Fact, if the Universe does have a Black Hole solution that can define its initial conditions, that would have to mean that, since all black holes rotate, and therefore all black holes have a Ring Singularity, that 10^-43 isn't a Singularity at all, it is a "POINT" That is 10^-33 in size with r=0 as its center.

Russ,
Well, if you want to be a real stickler, there are no known black holes anyway. Nothing has been proven (and this will be the "beyond a reasonable doubt" level, not 100% certainty, because I don't think that's possible since you can't escape to tell what was inside )to be that type of object/gravitational entity that we call a black hole. We've got things that look and act pretty much like the theory says they should look and act, but we can't be sure. They could be MECOs, or something else no one has yet discovered that looks very similiar to black holes. Yes, Schwarzschild is a static, spherically symmetric space-time. And that works pretty good, since most gravitationally significant objects are fairly spherical. It's the GR equivalent of inverse square point mass Newton. And that's a static space-time. It describes the motion of small objects in that space-time well, so long as the field of the objects themselves can be neglected. So, it handles "movement" pretty well. And yes, it is non-rotating. Let something that is rotating collapse, and you get something different, the Kerr metric. But again, if you want to be a stickler, the Kerr metric is just as much of an idealization as Schwarzschild. And the accretion discs don't really have anything to do with it, it's the mass of the thing that collapsed. A Schwarzschild black hole could certainly have an accretion disc rotating around it. If you want to take into account the field of the disc itself, then you've got something different in all cases, rotating hole or not. But that is a small effect anyway in most cases I'm sure. And then there is not any horizon "spiralling" down to r = 0. The horizon in Schwarzschild occurs at R = 2GM/c^2. And it's just a coordinate thing anyway, which is the basis of one of the fundamental points I like to make. The notion of 'r' and 't' is observer dependent. One man's space is another man's time. That just blows your mind, but that's the way it is (yes, the way it is in that model we call GR). The external, stationary observer says there is a singularity at r = 0 in his coordinates. It's a location in space that exists at all times. Now, the radial free-faller has a different set of coordinates. His space and time, his own ruler and clock are different than ours. To him, the singularity is a point in time that exists over all space. And that's related to radius and time flipping inside the horizon. And such words themselves are related to our own external ruler and clocks. Nothing flips to the free-faller. His time is his time and his ruler is his ruler. Now, it turns out that the Big Bang metric (in the most simple form without all the fancy stuff added) is just the time reversed form of the metric of someone riding a dynamic spherical collapse. The radial free fall into a pre-existing black hole is a little different, but the same conceptually really. You see "r = 0" or r = Planck length is a *COORDINATE THING*. It is not any absolute description. "r" is actually time to the co-moving observer. Now, about the rotationg thing. Yes, any local object in the universe likely to collapse is most certainly going to be rotating. The asymptotic state is thus not Schwarzschild. But guess what. Our universe does not have any net angular momentum as far as we can tell. So no rotating solution comes into it. Russ, these are models. Nothing more, nothing less. General Relativity provides a cosmological scale frame-work to describe things that agrees with what is observered. And that descriptions happens to be that of a "time reversed" spherically symmetric collapse. That's all. Nothing less, nothing more. -Richard |

If 'Nothing 'flips' for the free faller', THEN there should be no 'repeling' at the singularity, and therefore once inside the event horizon, we have to 'figure out' what is happening in that frame, RATHER than use the Maths from our distant frame to 'really tell' what is happening there!!! Quote:

AND, collapsing the universe down to a 'Point' is NOT a valid gravitational collapse in the first place!!! The ONLY way to get down to r=0 is for an Event Horizon to form 'FROM A GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE'...Period...End of story. Now, you guys can go through all your mathematical Sci-Fi, and what ifs, and maybe it is this way or that way, BUT in our 'real' 'physical' universe....that's it. SO, the "Blowing up" at the Singularity, of GR/SR and the Laws Of Physics, is simply saying that THEY ALL MUST change, especially including QM, if you are going to model how the universe is working correctly! Because, The Singularity/"What is really happening there" is 'real' and 'physically valid' as pertains to 'how our universe is working'. Maxwell's equations, electromagnetism, etc - what does it all mean?? Sometimes you are so close to realizing some real inuitive things about how our universe is working. MY above post comes as close as I can to mathematically showing that the Naked Singularity "Point" of which r=0 just identifies the 'center' of that point, cannot even exist, in Our Real Universe, and is not even a 'real' singularity, BUT is the identification of a "Point Particle" going 'through' a Ring Singularity. Some of the things mainstream has accepted as 'true' to justify all the maths working are just incredulous. This being only one of those... Quote:

![]() SMBH's and "Exotic Matter"/Extra Gravity are the two things that mainstream has figured out that ARE correct.

I have come to fully realize that an 'open system' is devastating for 'science', as it has inadvertently defined 'everything' as a 'closed system', starting with the Laws Of Thermodynamics, before the SR/GR or the Big Bang was even formulated, BUT as I have said numerous times...all the information was NOT available to make the decisions that have been made. The major one thing that was not realized, was that once you define the speed of light as constant "c", that makes Space and Time "Dimensionless". In addition, there IS a Particle Medium that IS carring light/photons, and this I'm sure would not be considered 'scientific', BUT... It is absolutely Impossible for electrons to 'accelerate' Massless photons "Instantaneously" to 186,000 mps ![]() Have you ever tried to 'throw' something that is 'massless', and when you turn on your light in a completely dark room, how are those electrons 'accelerating' those photons 'instantaneously' to 186,000 mps?

ALL of these things mainstream takes as "Truths", are false negatives that are not easy to falsify, and the only way to do it, is to show what is right.

Some of the attributes assigned to black holes seem logical, if they are non-rotating and have less mass than 10E30 times our Sun. Assuming the blackholes were formed less than 13 billion years ago from infalling matter which had spin, we cannot have a non-rotating black hole.
At 10E30 solar mass, the event horizon is quite ordinary with low gravity and low gravity gradiant. Because of the enormous surface area of the event horizon, we should expect infalling matter to average nanograms per square meter per second. Orbiting matter will be quite slow and spiralling in negligibly. An advanced spacecraft should be able to fly in and out of the event horizon, then land on a planet orbiting the black hole outside the event horizon to refuel for more teasing of the event horizon. If our space craft flys a light year closer to the singularity inside the event horizon, they will be spagettified by the gravity gradient, which will prevent escape. Close to the singularity, things orbit at almost c and colisions with even subatomic particles release near infinate energy, but this does not happen just inside the event horizon of a 10E30 solar mass black hole. I concede the situation is different for the distant observer, but not for the crew of the space craft who are moving approximately zero with respect to their spacecraft. Please refute, embellish and/or comment. Neil |
