It's just a very small step.
It's totally logical, right?
Again, it follows completely logically from all of the scientific stuff we know about space, about black holes, about general relativity, about, you know, particle colliders.
It's entirely possible.
There's a lot of ifs there,
But it's entirely possible, yes.
Yes, 100%.
Okay.
No, it's something that, again, I can't say yes or no.
I have to gloriously claim the experimentalist, the empiricist's mantle and say it is not possible to say yes or no right now with current understanding.
It is a possibility that we live inside of an enormous black hole, but it is not currently testable.
And also, I cannot say yes or no.
I don't know.
These questions to me are interesting because you sometimes get dismissive responses from other physicists too, where it's like, oh, well, you know, yeah, we don't really live in a black hole and it's kind of silly to think about it.
But when we posit questions like this, it in principle can spur us to the new idea that stretches us beyond our current understanding.
And that is worth it in and of itself.
I think about, you know, the fact that it's like I have a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of time in this universe, right?
And the fact that I have this tiny amount of time to even ask questions about the universe is precious and wonderful.
The fact that we get a chance to even ask these questions is remarkable.
You know, when you and I ask questions about the universe, honestly, it's the way by which the universe asks questions about itself.
