The singularity in a black hole is like the one that created our universe; is our universe in a black hole?

I think we are in a black hole mechanism.  The universe can disappear by degrees into a black hole or holes, but similarly, it reappears in what they call "white holes".  White holes have been seen very far away, and by the rules of this universe, very far back in time.  Who is to say, however, that time is not fluid, and only has to move in one direction?  I think that the material that goes into black holes reappears way back in time in the white holes, that the whole "time" concept is fluid and adaptable, and the multiple universes are all this one.

Well, as far as we know, all the matter that gets sucked in gets crushed into a single point with zero dimensions. As in, a point with no length, width, anything. This is called a singularity.\n\nOr, another theory is that there are wormholes. If you get sucked in a black hole and survive (heh...not likely), you get thrown into a different part of the universe, or another universe, or another dimension, or whatever. However, the wormhole theory is losing support as of now.

Black holes will NOT swallow the entire universe.\n\nIf one black hole swallows another, then there will be a single black hole with combined masses of the original two.\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

its a MATHIMATICAL prediction that warmholes (or "shortcuts" in spacetime... so you fly into black hole and boom you're in another part of the universe or another universe all together) exists\n\nUnfortunatly this prediction bares no physical merrit as neither the black hole is capable of "letting things fall through" nor is a "whitehole" capable of existing for more then one instance (aside the fact that it cannot form, period)\n\nThe mathematical model is beautiful though, if you know much math I suggest you check it out.!

When all matter, including light and time, is sucked into a black hole, an infinitely dense singularity occurs. With all this heavy-duty cosmic attraction going on, something has to give, right? Enter white holes. \n\nPut simply, the idea here is "what goes into a black hole must somehow come out." If a black hole tears the space-time fabric of "our universe" creating a wormhole, a white hole would be the entry point into the "other universe." Essentially, a white hole would be the mathematical exist that emits matter n light just opposite to black hole

Sorry to Sun of Samsa.  I meant to give you a thumbs up!  The Black Hole Singularity is infinitely small (infinite density and ZERO volume).  The effects of the hole can be miles or light years across!

Yes........more or less. A Black hole is a small view of what the universe as a whole will be like billions of years from now.

it can be. Because blackhole has a much faster velocity than light. It is possible that we can use blackhole to travel into another galaxy or another space that we haven't know before. Or maybe we can use blackhole as a time machine. Everything can happen, one day we can find it out. I believe that

There are many thoeries to how this process works...we all know that black holes are the decayed from of a supermassive star.  Technically the universe would have to all collapse before it could expand...like a star it has massivle amouts of atomic energy, and non atomic...al matter was inside this small, infinitely dense space.  Then, the big bang appeared and everything expaned.  My personal theory or space time is that there is no limate to space therefore there is no limit in time...there is no beginning or end to either becaus they are related to each other and mush remain at a simimal or equal constant.  Thus everything within time has a finite length.  The events in time will end, but not time itself.  There is a lot to all of these theories.  Anyways the point to this is that there is a center to the universe but not space.  Anything that is a mass has some ammount of gravity...some, though have more energy than others.  This is what makes a black hole.  the things in a black hole are packed into an infinitely small space.  Then hydrogen plasma shoots out of some supermassive blackholes.  this energy still remains a mysterty to me on how it can escape the black hole, almost like the big bang, but more controlled.  there WAS a mass at the center of everything, but how that works still is a mystery.  I think that there were once supersupermassive aters where the center of our calaxy is today.  this explain the expansion of out galaxy and the surrounding stars and such.  So there was once a biis mass that keeps dividing till it smaller.  Sadly at the end of our universe, everything will once again be absorbed.  That last part is my thoery.  But can we survive?  Well I hope I answered you're question thurough enough.  My hands are kinda tired.\n\nBTW...does the stuff I said too confusing or does it work..I'm not exaclty the sharpest when it comes to these things but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about?

At the center of the universe is a giant black hole, or the remains of a singularity, or God. It is all a matter of perspective and personal beliefs.\n\nThe Big Bang theory states that all was created from a singularity, a dimensionless point of energy that burst forth in a huge explosion. As the energy dissipated it cooled and became particles which came together to create atoms, then clouds of atoms became stars, galaxies, planets and us. But did all of the energy expend itself from that singularity? Or does some of it still exist there?\n\nAstronomers now believe that every galaxy is formed around black holes. Extropolating, that would suggest that all matter is formed around a massive black hole.\n\nAnd the Creationists believe that everything was created by God and that of course God is the center of everything including the universe.\n\nBut now string theory in its latest form suggests that the universe was created by the collision of two extra-dimensional membranes. And that the comic book / science fiction concept of multiple universes may actually exist. So maybe Robert Heinlein was right all along. I wonder where the Gay Deceiver is parked now?\n\nTake your pick.

The universe and space aren't the same thing. The universe was CREATED in space. Before the creation of the universe, it was just space. The universe now occupies space, and yes the universe is not infinite and according to scientists, the Big Crunch theory is the end of the our universe. However, space will still exist because the universe and space aren't the same thing.

no. The definition of black hole is that what comes in, never comes out anymore.\n\n"What goes in must come out?" is a saying, not a law of physics

Science words.  I think about this alot. Even we humans have figured out how to create mini black holes, so I think that it's very possible the universe(s) was 'created'.  On the other hand, pure thought can create reality.  We may be someone's thoughts or someone's dream.....

According to general relativity, the matter inside a black hole collapses to a single point: a "singularity".  At this point, the mass density (ρ = m/V) is undefined (because the volume of a single point is zero). \nWe have a lot to learn about extreme cases such as this.

There are theoretically two ways in which black holes can form.  Stellar (star) sized black holes have to be above the Chandresekhar limit of 3.2 solar masses, and are formed through the gravitational collapse of stars. They can form whenever conditions are right. These are the types of black holes that astronomers infer from binary X-ray sources and the like.\n\nMicro black holes, on the other hand, can only have been formed in the initial moments of the Big Bang, when intense pressures during cosmic expansion could have collapsed masses smaller than our sun into singularities.  According to Dr. Stephen Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation, all singularities lose mass, through a type of evaporation (the actual mechanism, having to do with vaccum energy and particle/antiparticle pairs is a bit complicated) with smaller black holes evaporating faster than large ones.  By this logic, most micro-holes would have evaporated out of existence in the thirteen billion years the universe has been around, while the larger micro-holes (things with the mass of, say, Neptune) should still be around, though hard to spot.

You've probably seen the pictures of a grid with a giant funnel extending infinitely downward.  That's not the shape of the hole itself, but a map of the curvature of space near the singularity.  The singularity, or "hole" itself is a point of infinitely large density and infinitely small size.

Um...  No and Yes?\n\nThe Universe has infinate volume.  Most of this volume is empty...\n\nA Black hole has no more gravity than the star and matter that has fallen into it, so never fear that everything is going to be pulled into a single super Singularity...\n\nAs to it eventually causing another "Big Bang"...  How do we know that a "Black Hole Singularity" is the "Big Bang Singularity" of another universe?\n\nBlack Hole Theory states that a Black Hole is so massive that it gives space infinite curvature...\n\nPresuming that the multi-dimensions discussed be the Super String Concepts exist...  \n\nThen how do we know that this infinate Curvature does not extend to an infinate volume of other spacial dimensions? \n\nOr rather...  Give thought to the possibility that a Black Hole Singularity is the "Big Bang Singularity", and that our entire universe of infinate space may exist in the Black Hole in another Universe that uses diferent spacial Dimensions...\n\nThere's no evidence either way...  So to answer you question which askes for definate answers that no one can give definately, let me say...\n\nProbably not but Maybe yes...  But Maybe yes but not really...  8-)\n\n"There is more to Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy Horatio"  -Shakespeare
