Let's have a discussion of some weird topics, like black holes. What is it really like inside of one? Let your imaginations flow... :)

One possibility is the existence of an earlier or advanced timeline.
So if you went into a black hole, it would take you like for example
20 min or 20 years back/forth in time. Of course it could also happen to be an alternate timeline, an alternate quantum reality, to be precise. While these theories are quite entertaining, I would really like to know if your body would be affected by the passage of time while you went through the hole...ahh head hurts.......out of memory...buffer underrun........


damn, another coaster....
:D
 

I don't think we'll ever know. You can't get close enough to them, you (or any machine that could send back data, as a functioning set of components) would be stretched into disfunction. I think we did a physics problem on that, where we calculated the differences in gravitational acceleration between a person's head and feet if they're close to a black hole.... It was pretty nasty;)

If space is constantly expanding....where is it getting the space to expand...

If you go at the speed of light, you will go through time slower. if you go past the speed of light, you go backwards in time.
another thing, any object that goes at the speed of light turns into energy.
edit:its a fact

actually been to speed of light, and you know, energy is relative, to us its &quot;energy&quot; but its really just fast matter. . .think about it. slow down light, and what do you have?? photon's a uh physical thing

Darwin fans: they evolve into airplane propellers over time.

Experiencially and intuitively quite unlike anything outside them.

Even the Natural Laws as we know them have to be quite different, otherwise we would be able to look into blackholes as see much more detail.

<...If you go at the speed of light, you will go through time slower...>

According to Relativity theory, the faster you travel the slower you will appear to experience the rate of time's passage as measured by an observer not moving as fast as you.

Also, according to Relativity theory, the faster one moves the more massive you become (analogous to weighing more, but not the same thing.)As you approach the speed of light your mass approaches infinity. Theoretically, there is not enough energy in the universe to to move an infinite mass passed the speed of light.

<...if you go past the speed of light, you go backwards in time...>

Relativity says that as a person -- an astronaut, for instance -- approaches the speed of light, time passes the same speed it always has for the astronaut but an observer not travelling as fast as the astronaut sees the astronaut's rate of time slow toward zero.
Presumably, were the astronaut to actually pass the speed of light, the outside observer might see the rate of time's passage for the astronaut move backwards. It would not for the astronaut. That's why it's called Relativity. ;)

The Tachyon is a theoretical particle that is said to be unable to travel slower than the speed of light. Presumably, tv characters use them to travel backwards in time. :)

ArkAoss,

When light is in the atmosphere it travels as a wave. When in a vaccuum there is nothing to carry a wave, which is why there is no sound. Light has the properties of a wave and as matter. When I get home I will try to dig out the page I found that gave a good example of how it acted like both.

Also, according to Relativity theory
Relativity says

Theory of Relativity is in fact that, a THEORY, nothing proved...

Your definition of theory is NOT the definition of scientific theory. You lose.
