Loose-nukes - let's keep this mainstream -Cheers.I understand my friend.
This reality has it's foundation in the fact that particles can also exit in wave form. Personally, I've never liked the notion of the "particle" perse. I realize I may get a little static because of that remark. Nevertheless, all "particles" are nothing more than (Localized orbital energy flux)....E=mc^2
Theoretically it is possible for a particle to really take up no volume.
Even if elementary particles are considered to have zero size, when they form part of an atom, they sit in defined (quantised) energy levels.Consider the fact that all particles of matter are constructed entirely of energy. But determining the "size" of energy makes absolutely no sense unless it has formed a shape in the fabric of space/time. To say "particles have zero size" is very misleading. The energy that particles are made of has "zero size" but particles do have volume. And because this volume will vary according to the energy state we find the particle in, it's size/volume is questionable and therefore strictly indefinite.
The event horizon of a black hole accelerates at the speed of light. Therefore the black hole accelerates at the speed of light( but is hidden behind the EH).There is no paradox here my friend. You are assuming that matter continues to remain matter thru it's entire trip from the event horizon toward the singularity. Your matter is converted into pure energy before it reaches the speed of light. And BTW, this transformation does not occur at the event horizon. It occurs somewhere between the event horizon and the singularity.
General Relativity states that mass can not accelerate up to the speed of light. Matter being consumed by a black hole accelerates up to the speed of light at the EH.
Is this a paradox? If not why not?
Thank you sir for being so agreeable, nevertheless, I would make this simple observation. Our dreams are most assuredly, part of the reality of our present life and not some obscure form of an alternative reality.Sleep accompanied by dreams is just a mechanism for we humans to solve everyday problems that find their way into our subconscience mind.
I agree with you, guy.
But I think Ace was not asking the question that simple way. Well, if we really live another life while dreaming?
I mean, it would be funny huh? Why not?
Is the Universe a giant black hole?I doubt it my friend.................For one thing, our universe is expanding with an ever increasing rate. If we were inside a black hole, one would think it would be contracting. And also, while a black hole the size of our universe would make it possible for us to survive within the Scwartzchild radius for quite some time, eventually we would have to contend with the singularity. And that being the case, where would you surmise that this singularity might be? No, I don't think we are living within a universal black hole...................
I don't really know Ace. The description of 'how' doesn't really capture the 'why'Exactly yor_on..........................To understand the ultimate WHY, one needs to consider the GOD question. Because this is a science forum, the GOD question, will most likely, never be answered.
Im wondering if we have some kind of life somewhere else which we go to when we sleep.LOL,...............actually, if you are asleep, you're still in your bed. That is ofcourse, unless you are a sleep walker.
Any thoughts welcome
Cheers Ace

oooooh !!!!
OK,.............So what you're saying is that the frozen image of the falling object would, basically, remain forever at the horizon but it's visual representation would fade out rather quickly, if I correctly understand your answer???
OK a luminous object would not instantly vanish the moment it crosses the even horizon it would just fade out after a brief period if you watched it.
