Dear Modest and Pluto
I believe Einstein was vehemently opposed to the whole concept of a black hole. I am pretty sure his opposition was was not just based on a dislike but on an inconsistency between its existence and his theoretical concepts. Unfortunately I don't think we, being mere mortals, are smart enough to figure out why.
We know there is an problem with respect to time in that someone who is watching a mass implode views the ttime dilation on it surface to be infinite when it passes the event horizon. However even though time has stopped for an external observer many think that it can continue to collapse. I know there are logic and consistent arguments that can explain it in terms of relativistic concepts but I believe they are not based on observational reality. If you don't minid I'd to spend some time thinking about what your taught me and then continue this subject.
In the mean time could you please try to explain to me why Einstein chose to define the universe in terms of four dimensional space-time instead of four spatial dimensions.
For the past couple of years I have been tring to transpose his space-time geometry to four *spatial* dimensions. I've compiled the results at
The Imagineer’s Chronicles
I'd be interested in a second opinion
Thanks friends
