Hrm
Well, not an overwhelming response, but I think I’ll go ahead with it anyway. This is going to be a seriously abbreviated version, so it may be badly written and difficult to decipher.
By the way, on the off chance that this thing is brilliant or something equally preposterous, could you please be nice and not publish it in your own name? Thanks.
<font size=5>Absolute Density, the short, short version.</font>
We start with a black hole. Now, as we understand it, a black hole is an ex-star that fulfils certain criteria. These criteria are:
1) It has mass. Bags and bags of mass. Many times more mass than our sun.
2) It has gone supernova and then collapsed into a tiny, dense, massive thing.
Now, any uncharged, non-rotating object has a theoretical boundary called the S-radius. I’ll tell you where that originated later if you want to know. The S-radius obviously defines a spherical part of space. It normally resides within the uncharged, non-rotating object. This is because an S-radius is a function of the object’s mass, and tends to be very, very small. For instance, if I were uncharged and non-rotating, I would have an S-radius, and it would be measured in terms of fractions of nanometres. Perhaps even picometres.
When a very massive star collapses to a very small size, it is possible for it to become smaller than its own S-radius. Now, at the risk of sounding juvenile, when an object become smaller than its own S-radius, some really fucked-up stuff starts to go down.
The S-radius defines a point where, according to Einstein’s equations, directions tend towards the centre of the sphere, and directions become defined in terms of time instead of space. That’s a hard thing to get one’s head around, believe me, I know. Instead of things moving from point A to point B, they go from ‘then’ to ‘now’. As it just so happens, ‘now’ is the centre of the sphere.
So, back to the unfortunate collapsed star who has found himself where he does not want to be: inside his S-radius. (excuse the anthropomorphization if you find it silly) As soon as that happens, the star has to go from ‘then’ to ‘now’, and ‘now’ is at the centre. The star collapses further into a singularity. For those who don’t know, a singularity is like a geometric Point. It has no size, it occupies no area in the spatial dimensions. A singularity has a radius of 0. I don’t know about you, but the idea of something many times the mass of the Sun occupying zero space bothers me. But that’s what it does. And once the star is within its S-radius, nothing can prevent its collapse to singularity status. Time cannot be stopped, therefore the draw towards the centre cannot be stopped.
Ugh… I’m going to have to start abbreviating more if I want to get through this.
Okay, once you have a singularity and there is a region of space occupied by the S-radius, the S-radius is redefined. It is now called the Event Horizon. I’ll call that EH for short. The reason it is the EH is that now there is the possibility (the inevitability, actually) of foreign objects touching the EH boundary. It is at this point that even more fucked-up stuff goes down.
Any object coming into contact with the EH is subject to those same temporal forces that caused the singularity… except now these objects are drawn towards the singularity, because the singularity IS the centre. That’s the current theory, about as far as it gets. There are a lot of calculations about the effects on matter once in the EH, but it’s conjecture as to what happens when (and if) contact with the singularity occurs.
And that’s a black hole. It’s called ‘black’ because light is subject to the time-driven force too, so it can’t reflect.
Hence the common misconception that light can’t escape a BH because its gravity is too strong. In actual fact, it can’t escape for the same reasons Monday becomes Tuesday.
Now, here’s where it becomes my theory.
Hypothetically and for the sake of argument, just indulge a few suggestions I’m about to make.
It’s reasonable to assume that as an object enters the EH, it is attracted to the singularity in a more or less decreasing orbital motion. A downward spiral, like water down the toilet when you flush it. The nature of such motion is that it causes acceleration. So any given particle descending toward a singularity is subject to acceleration. Let us suppose that this acceleration force is quite powerful. After all, we are discussing drastic violations of the space time continuum here, the forces involved are not likely to be meek. If the acceleration forces are powerful enough, the particles approaching the singularity, or core, will approach light speed.
A particle approaching light speed exhibits unusual behaviour. You’ve probably heard it all before. Mass approaches infinity, volume approaches zero, local time slows in comparison to an exterior point. Of course, when mass -> infinity and volume -> 0, density -> infinity, seeing as density = mass/volume. For reasons I don’t have time to go into right now, the matter inside the EH also begins to resemble a piece of spaghetti… it stretches itself out along its high speed, temporally defined path.
So, what I think happens is that matter entering a black hole’s EH does exactly that, and spirals around the core, becoming infintely close to the singularity, approaching light speed and thus slowing local time relative to the rest of the universe. At the same time, it is acheiving a mindboggling density.
While gravity is irrelevant (largely) within the EH, it does help draw matter to the EH in the first place. As the BH accumulates matter, all spinning around the core at frightening speeds, it therefore also accumulates mass… and gravitational magnitude. So the more matter a BH has collected, the stronger its ability to collect further.
I also propose that a BH can draw in another BH and cause it to behave in the same way as other particles captured by the EH. When two EHs collide, the stronger of the two would eventually force the other into an orbit, simultaneously stabilising its own swing towards the smaller BH. So the inferior singularity, with all its little particles surrounding it, starts to stretch out and become subject to the dominant BH’s forces. This would obviously be a significant gain of gravity power for the dominant.
The inevitable conclusion of a system where
a) BH’s exist
b) They draw in matter and
c) They aggregate
is that eventually, far into the future, all the matter in the whole universe will be in one small location, part of a singularity’s decaying orbit system, travelling at near light speed, distance between it and the singularity approaching zero, density approaching infinity. Every single last speck of space dust.
What happens when all of the universe exists in the same state? The barrier of relative time is removed. If the universe is in the same state, in the same place, and travelling at the same speed, then relativity ceases to exist. When this happens, the final event occurs. Every particle, every atom, everything hits light speed. It all becomes Absolutely Dense (there’s the title line!), and exists in one tiny realm of space.
What’s that you say? “The whole universe in one place, incredibly dense? That sounds familiar!” Well, you’re quite right, my dear Watson and I was just getting to that part.
The Big Bang. I mean, think about it. The whole universe has just given the laws of physics the finger. Time ceased to exist. Everything’s gone completely crazy. It’s about time we had a bloody great big explosion.
And then galaxies form, solar systems form, planets form… and BHs form. The BHs begin the aeonic mission of drawing all the matter together again, only, at the completion of their mammoth quest, to find that it all gets blown to shit again. So the universe reforms, contracts, explodes. Reforms, contracts, explodes.
It is reasonable to presume that this process has
