Are We Living Inside a Black Hole? | Popular Science

Quote:
We’re inside a black hole that exists in another universe. Specifically, a black hole that rebounded, somewhat like a spring.
Quote:
In a study published earlier this year, Poplawski said when the density of matter reaches epic proportions, torsion counters gravity. This prevents matter from compressing indefinitely to a singularity of infinite density. Instead, matter rebounds like a spring, and starts expanding again.
Quote:
In Poplawski's latest study, his calculations show that space-time inside the black hole expands to about 1.4 times its smallest size in as little as 10-46 seconds -- two orders of magnitude faster, for lack of a better word, than the Planck time. This brisk bounce-back could have been what led to the expanding universe that we see today.
Quote:
But here's the real kicker: as Poplawski says, we may not be living in our universe at all; we might be living inside a rebounded black hole that exists in a different universe.

Yep

Some look to wormholes as a possible option of space travel, yet to create a wormhole one would need to draw huge amounts of energy. Probable would need to create a system that draws power from the planet core or even a device that can draw power directly from the sun. It is said that we could collect all the energy the sun releases in 1 second, we would have more energy than we have ever created since the beginning of man. Now thats a LOT of energy and is perfect for generating worm holes.

If we ever develop the technology, then one could create a type of system linked to the sun and create a portal, then just do the same for ever sun you wish to be in the network and you have a means of travel.

There is a project being done by the NIF( National Ignition Facility), where they are trying to create a small sun on earth and draw power from it. It will produce more energy than it takes to operate. They have succeeded in creating a small "star" and are looking at ways to create a much larger version that last longer.

This miniature "star" was created in the target chamber of the Nova laser, NIF's predecessor, as 300 trillion watts of power hit a 0.5-millimeter-diameter target capsule containing deuterium-tritium fuel.

Well according to some - Black Holes do not even exits.

Thanks for the post Shiloh1!! We might never know if BH really exist or not till we either create one in Europe or fly to one. Good topic for a debate but still since light can not escape from BH and they can not be observed it can never be proven. Yet a BH can accelerate matter fast enough past the speed of light then to break free and fire away from a BH as a jet. Might need to go minor in astrophysics in school to better understand all this Again thanks for the post!!

Default Not so dense in a BH

Since the theory is that matter is accelerated so fast that it is shredded down to its atomic particles, how can something bounce back from something that even light energy doesn't escape? Another question is how do black holes exist in this universe then, do black holes bounce back too?
