Could we be inside a black hole ?
Could we actually be inside someone else's massive black hole ?
I'm thinking that maybe the source of the microwave background radiation that appears to be everywhere, is a result of a view of the event horizon of a black hole from the inside. If black hole's "boil" away over time, isn't this what it could look like from the inside ? Rob |

Rob We'd see the outside universe extremely blue-shifted, rather than red-shifted as the remote regions are observed to be. |

Could we actually be inside someone else's massive black hole ? Unlikely, although the diameter of the universe could be much smaller than we think due to the effects of gravity on light. Our concept of measuring distances over vast areas of space is a compromise at best even today.

If black hole's "boil" away over time, isn't this what it could look like from the inside ? Actually, I read something a few decades ago that stated we do, indeed, live inside of a blackhole. Was it meant in the sense of what we imagine to be a black hole, or metaphorically in the sense that we cannot travel outside of our universe, I do not remember, exactly. Whenever I ponder about conditions inside of a black hole, the line, "it's full of stars," (2001, A Space Odyssey) always springs to mind. We have no clue what it looks like inside of the black hole, and what the conditions are really like. "Never say never" is a commonly used phrase implying that nothing is impossible but a journey inside of a black hole and getting the word back out about what is going on in there seem to be pretty impossible to me and will remain a secret for all eternity. I consider myself to be the eternal optimist, by the way :-) Rob David |
