Nah, there’s been a bunch of discussion about our entire universe being inside a black hole.
Comment on well?

NOT “discovered inside black hole”, just gained further theoretical evidence for the Earth being in a less dense area of the universe. There has been actual evidence of such for some time (at least a decade), but there is uncertainty at such large scales so it cannot be called conclusive based only on a couple types of observation that may have erroneous procedures.

Nah, that discussion is MUCH older and including much of the “news” about it, is completely and utterly misinformed BS.

There being a “bunch of discussion” doesn’t prove anything?
deltapi@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I believe MotoAsh was talking about the local hole which is different from the more recent we’re in a black hole discussion.
I was not stating that the unprovable is actually fact.

so basically We’re out in butt fuck no where in space and the aliens aren’t coming any time soon cause they essentially live in New York City and we’re in a town in Iowa that no one has ever heard of.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Less dense as in ~20% less dense. It’s absolutely nowhere near the population density difference of rural vs NYC, even assuming matter == chance for life, which simply is not the case.
Zron@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s entirely possible that there are no aliens in the “New York City” part of the universe.
Dense regions of space will have much more interactions between stellar systems and may not be stable enough for life to evolve. It could be why we haven’t seen anyone else, they’re all in their own little pockets of peace.

Being from Iowa, I take offense to that… But yes, you are correct.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy.

Actually, that explains so much.

But then there’s the guy who added all the mass and energy of the observable universe, calculated its’ Schwarzschild Radius, and came up with 13.8 billion light years.
There’s also how our observable universe’s Hubble Horizon acts like a black hole event horizon, the way in which even the speed of light is insufficient to escape beyond.
A lot of the math inside a black hole is eerily similar to the math of our own horizon, as traced by the age of the universe plus the speed of light.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That is simply how horizons work. It’s nothing magical about our universe. It’s discussed in every astrophysics course worth its salt year one…
PBS Spacetime has many episodes on horizons and this very concept comes up a lot. It’s also equally probable using such simple logic that we are in a white hole given the effects of dark energy.
