Theory of Infinity (defined)

The following is a post copied from another forum:

Hi Mike,

You and my professor are like two opposite poles, therefore, it is easier for me to see the middle ground.

Now your definitions on infinity are not relevant to the subject. We are discussing black holes and general relativity predicted (before BHs were even found) that spacetime would curve to infinity given there were adequate gravitational forces. Although, now we've found these black holes we can't define this theory because we can't (or won't) define infinity...

So we come up with absurd theories....

Sorry if I sounded moody in my post, but, I WAS making a valid point. My theory is at least backed up by mathematics and I simply stated to you (and to my professor) that within a BH exists infinite spacetime. Your responses were that BHs are a wormhole or some other-worldly 'Star-Trek' unknown and I'm the one with the problem.

What's the difference between infinite spacetime and finite spacetime? (That is besides an interesting looking grid image)

Well finite spacetime can be measured by Special Relativity. Infinite spacetime cannot. Finite spacetime by definition has a start and finish point. Infinite spacetime does not.

Finite does not equal Infinity.

Therefore an infinite/finite spacetime is as absurd as calling a blackhole blue.

How does infinite spacetime fit into a blackhole?

Well if you can imagine throwing a container into a black hole. Then outside
and inside this container would be infinite spacetime. If I then place a lid on the container the inside would still be infinite spacetime.

Finite spacetime has a burnout and therefore at the end of this universe it will implode. Sorry to ruin the ending for you. My professor stated that an electron was also a BH. I guess he was right.

I know I'm quite juvinile (Hell I barely even attended High School) at all this but I call a spade a spade and infinite spacetime is exactly as the name suggests.

So outside this finite universe is an infinite spacetime. We ARE encased in a bubble and outside that is the largest damn blackhole you ever did see.

As for a singularity, at the event horizon you've found your singularity. Spacetime is bent to infinity at this point and to go in any further to find something else is futile.

You stated that I needed to use maths (as others did) to assist my theories, but hey, where I'm going there is no maths you can describe. My boyfriend was right when he quoted someone saying 'If you can't explain what your doing in plain english then you are doing something wrong'.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
