Mental Prowess (I strike again)
 

Well I guess this is becoming a sorta tradmark thread thing I do. It is not so much to blather on about my self though. I feel I'm providing a service to those of you that whish to but have not the fortitude. Enough with the talking now its unto the well more talking. Except this talking will be blantent self-promoting. (We all know you love to do it.)

Ok. let us describe feats of the mind; these can be feats of acidemia or simply times that you twisted your friends mind into a pretzel for the mere pleasure of seeing a brain aneurysm.

Well time for me to go frist. As you may or may not have noticed I'm a bit of a physics freak, being a physics major and all. My greatest pleasure in life is describing the undiscribable nature of the universe. My favorite theory is the Pac man theory of the universe. This one always gets strange reactions when I give its name but all the physics majors I've told this to, and some teachers, agree I'm on to something. I present for your mental torment the Pac man theory of the universe. It goes thus:

First one must accept the big bang theory. This is somewhat of a sticking point but lets continue. Now if the entire universe exsited at the same point in the begining then its not to far feteched to assume it was sphereical in nature. I submit that the big bang was a symetrical explosion. Meaning that the exact center of the universe is in the same place it has always been. Also, it means that the shape of the universe is the same as it was then. Thus it is spherical and nothing exsits outside its outer edge. Not that it matters because any attempt to transverse the universe ends where it began. Simply because one cannot break out of the bonds of space and time and space; and time being spherical and nature because of its creation lends one to the conclusion that space travel will always end where it began. That is if one attempts to follow a straight path. The nature of gravity also supports this. As the effects of gravity are never totaly absent one trying to leave the universe must overcome the pull of the entire universe. Since gravity tends to cause circular type motions one must end where one began.

Now that I have completely destroyed your ability for cognescient thought, at least for awhile, feel free to respond in kind. (And yes I can be longwinded even though I really can't spell all that well usually.)

So basically, you're saying the universe works like a pac-man level. You go off the edge and end up on the opposite side?

...That will definately be a big help in avoiding those pesky space ghosts out to get our power pellets!

Seriously, though... I don't think there's enough evidence about the edge of the universe to really come to any conclusive theories. That's an interesting one, though. I'll give you that.

Maybe it's not so much that once when go to a side of the screen we come back on the other side, but rather, maybe the galaxy is like some kind of globe? Like the planets are. Big, round, circular...

But here's my kicker. Where do those black holes lead? They aren't just bottomless pits if they're housing so many molecules.

Oh, here's something. What does clear look like?

This looks like fun... :)

Where have you established this? Time is just one dimension, so why could it not be flat? As well as this, have you seen the fairly ercent Causal Set theory (I think that's what it's called)? This basically treats time as a set of nodes which spawn new nodes based on a minimum possible time interval. Look it up, its actually very interesting.

Well, at least it explains the strange music that keeps playing. What? Is it just me? :D

As I understand it, black holes aren't really holes. The name simply comes from the fact that they act like holes. A black hole is a physical object, which can be smaller than the earth. The trick is that it's so incredibly dense that it's gravity doesn't let anything that gets closer than a certain distance escape - not even light. This distance is the "event horizon." Think of black holes as immense monsters that devour everything that crosses their path.

By the way, did you know that there's a supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy? :eek: In fact, as far as we know, there's one at the centre of every galaxy.

Most theories sustain that black holes are mere receptacles for energy (and matter, but as Einstein says, they're equivalent), up to the point where the density of the singularity at their centers reaches infinity, and their volume goes to zero. This is mathematically provable with an understanding of the concept of limits, and the formula for density (D=m/v). When volume disappears as such, the internal structure of the singularity is both very stable and highly unstable at the same time, and as such is subject to the variances caused by the phenomena known as quantum fluctuations. Ask me about those in another post, if you don't know what they are. Back on topic, the structure of the singularity is, as all things, suceptible to the miniscule variances in mass and energy caused by quantum fluctuations. This occurs when, in the imperceptibly tiny latticework of the singularity, quantum fluctuations cause an instability that breaks out into a chain reactionthat can result in the cataclysmic release of an infinite amount of energy, and the rapid expansion of the space around it, essentially the formation of a new universe.

Now, can anyone tell me anything about Einstein-Rosen bridges?

who cares they're great for destroying planets

We're playing 3D pacman. ^_^
So if the universe is one gigantic game of pacman, there must be some sort of code or way to access the programming of the universeso alterations can be made, eh?

Supposedly the Einstein-Rosenthal bridge theoretically exsits between a blackhole and what is on the other side. Basically you shove something with negative energy density into a blackhole creating a traversable path through the blackhole. Its a way to create a wormhole first proposed by Einstein and Rosenthal as well as a few others.

My statment of time being spherical was reference to the concept of space and time being one. As proposed in Einstein theory of relativity. Thus if space is spherical time must be as well.

Now back to the real purpose of this theard. Anyone else have some statment of logic that they like to spring onto unsupecting people to watch them twitch under the strain? I personally like to sit and look deep in thought then when people ask me what I'm thinking about I hit them with that. Anyone that has talked with me on a regular bases soon forbides me from spouting theories.

Black Holes contain singularities, much like the thing from which the universe originally came (it's been a while since I read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, so bear with me). There's an interesting theory that black holes actually spawn new universes!

While the explosion was most likely symetrical, the Uncertainty Principle would effect the velocities and vectors of the exploding particles in such a way that it would break the symetry.

As such, while the universe seems to be the same in all directions, it is most likely asymetrical.

And even then, in your theory, you would need the universe to be perfectly symetrical around every point, meaning that the matter in the universe would be perfectly evenly everywhere, a situation that cannot exist due to the Uncertainty Principle.
