It turns out that the mathematics of the interior of a black hole is almost identical to the mathematics of the exterior of the black hole.
So I called him up.
I find myself drawn toward all of these kinds of just the edge of our human knowledge.
And I want to step just beyond it to see what's there.
It's not a crazy step.
It's just a very small step.
Does that mean that our universe was birthed from a black hole in another universe?
And does that mean that the black holes in our universe are little seeds of baby universes in another multiverse situation?
Gravity arises because the presence of stuff within a certain volume of space creates a kind of sinkhole in space itself.
You can think about a black hole in space like an extremely strong water drain.
If you're a fish in the water, you stay far enough away from the drain, you wouldn't even notice that it's there.
But if you get close enough to the drain, at some point, the water will be flowing inward faster than you could ever possibly swim.
That's like light.
If I am inside the black hole and I turn on a flashlight, that light signal is still going at light speed.
But if this pocket of space is being sucked toward the center of the black hole faster than the speed of light, it's never going to be able to get outside of the black hole.
And it would probably just start to stretch you out.
You would probably get stretched into spaghetti.
For a large enough black hole, you wouldn't even notice at all.
I could, in fact, just kind of sit there and I would be fine.
I could hang around quite a long time, probably even indefinitely within this enormous black hole.
