One ticket to Blackout City


NatGeo -Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe. In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities. According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes.
In a recent paper published in the journal Physics Letters B, Indiana University physicist Nikodem Poplawski presents new mathematical models of the spiraling motion of matter falling into a black hole. His equations suggest such wormholes are viable alternatives to the "space-time singularities" that Albert Einstein predicted to be at the centers of black holes. According to Einstein's equations for general relativity, singularities are created whenever matter in a given region gets too dense, as would happen at the ultradense heart of a black hole. Einstein's theory suggests singularities take up no space, are infinitely dense, and are infinitely hot—a concept supported by numerous lines of indirect evidence but still so outlandish that many scientists find it hard to accept.


If Poplawski is correct, they may no longer have to.


According to the new equations, the matter black holes absorb and seemingly destroy is actually expelled and becomes the building blocks for galaxies, stars, and planets in another reality

Well fuckin' A dude!

Just when I was feeling like I was ontop of the world today I go ahead and read this. As if my mind wasn't still all screwed after having it drop kicked by a show on NOVA last night where I learned everything about space...two times over!

This is what we know about space - and what we know only accounts for about 5% of everything. Where the fuck is the other 95% of....everything??


If you're still feeling larger than life click the link below - should put everything to "scale"

We’re spoiled these days, information is changing faster now than ever before. Imagine how staffed Galileo would be right now if he had all the information at our disposal. He made the biggest finds of his era by looking through a home-made telescope. Dude chilled out on his porch all night gazing up at what people thought was the universe rotating around our planet.


Siiike your face.

Flash forward a couple hundred years later and we got computers, satellites, telescopes in space, all blowing wide open our concept of the universe. You’d think our flying car technology is right around the corner but naw dude. Were too busy fuckin shit up here on Earth - polluiting our only and most consistent personal connection with the stars; the sky. NASA is working at a fraction of what it could be. One half a cent on the dollar is how much NASA receives in government funding – which has purchased everything we've ever tossed up into space. The rest of our countries cash flow goes to a war overseas and patch work here on Earth. Lame.

My boy Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks this all down much further in the video below. Why this man isn't president? I. do. not. know.
