Mathematicians Disprove Conjecture Made to Save Black Holes

‘But this is superb mathematics!’

(Quoting Enrico Fermi in “Day One”, save the subject was physics.)

[Buttons12]

Just as I suspected! :P

[beethovenfan]

Yeah, I figured that out a while ago but I forgot to publish it. Dang!.

Dafermos and Luk indicate that while space-time exists beyond the Cauchy horizon, this extended space-time isn’t smooth enough to actually satisfy Einstein’s equations. Thus, even with the strong cosmic censorship proven false, the equations are still spared the ignominy of outputting nonunique solutions.

I'll bet these guys are a hoot in the bar on Friday nights after the bowling league........

“What is “space-time”? Space is a word used for “where there isn’t anything.” Time is the measurement of motion. (Thomas of Aquinas.) Putting them together with a hyphen produces what?”

Not made up, but conjectured by math (Einstein) and proved every day when one uses GPS.

It makes no logical sense, but as have many things in physics, when the math says it exists, it exists. Sorry, but that’s life in this universe. God is a mathematician.

Possible interest ping . . .

[exDemMom]

You’re welcome!

Kaku only a bit better than Bill Nye.

[Vaquero]

Bill Nye is a whore for Gorebull worming.

He’s a fraud. Kaku is not.

There is no black hole, and never has been, due to more than just mathematical problems (thermodynamics).

Also, for the big band to “work” 99% of the matter required is “missing” so scientists postulate that there must be “dark matter” they can’t see in the universe. Problem is, there is no gravitational effects observable from this “dark matter” either.

They say believing in God takes faith.....The big bang as a theory is not going to live to be 200 years old....

Space-Time is properly hyphenated because it links two things - space and time.

Let’s consider space. Space is defined as a place for matter (room for it to exist)
If you have 1 dimension (a line) the volume is zero. 2 dimensions you have a plane (which no depth, volume = 0), once you have 3 dimensions, you have infinite volume.

Time is likewise 3 in nature. For change to occur, one must have a past, present, and if time is to continue, a future.

Finally, the 3 unexcited (at rest) states of matter are liquid, solid, gas.

Our universe is Tri-unity in nature - that is, 3 threes. If you look at nature, you will continue to find the mystery of 3 - proton, electron, neuron - Man, plants, animals, etc.

"This is why I am not a theoretical physicist. I prefer a scientific discipline in which I can make predictions and conduct the experiments that show whether they are accurate or not. I don’t have to extrapolate from a handful of observations to make predictions about things which are forever unobservable. I deal with predictable physics. Well, predictable until one gets down to the quantum level...even there, the outcomes are predictable."

Hmmm....Are you trying to get me excited...{:-)

it’s everything you can’t see below top of the sofa when lying in a prone position with the clicker in your hand

[dangerdoc]

The singularity never forms, time is so dilated, nothing happens inside the event horizon.

[mindburglar]

For the big band to “work”, you need Benny Goodman.

[mindburglar]

Animal, vegetable, mineral...fwiw.

I didn’t say anything, but I suspected as much...
