Maybe, but a person needs to know how to keep the thing opened in the first place; I'm not too sure how one'll be able to manipulate where a wormhole will take you in time and or space—probably never going to bring you into the past, but more likely into the future, I'd say. As for traveling...

Well, I'm not sure mankind would ever quite be interested in trying to terraform Mercury—in the first place. And even if it were colonized, I'd say that our descendants would, if advanced enough, already have the technology to explore outside of our solar system long before then—without the rare...

Tachyons are particles where the case of v > c always applies. Their velocities are always faster than c and they are forbidden from traveling any slower.

Tachyons? I'm honestly not sure what those kinds of particles would have to do with the collapse of an entire universe.

Well, considering that it is a Big "Crunch" and that the universe will have shrunken down to a point that all known physics disintegrates, I'd say no.

Sorry 'bout that; I don't have a good level of mathematics. I got that light tends towards an infinite blue shift at the inner horizon, as said in the link. The confusing part was where it talked about ingoing and outgoing particles "trying to travel back and forth in time and exceeding the...

What exactly is this mass inflation instability phenomenon that is said to happen near the inner horizon of black holes? http://jila.colorado.edu/~ajsh/insidebh/realistic.html I got the nutshell of it, but I think I need someone to really explain this.

Thanks for correcting me! I didn't think calling it a coordinate would really make a difference at first, but I guess you learn something new each day you're on here; it all comes together so clearly now.

That is true, due to the curvature of space time inside the black hole nothing can avoid the singularity. Also, time and space do a strange kind of flipping, probably depending on whether or not the hole has considerably huge spin or electrical charge. But the singularity becomes a time-like...

Here is what I did for mass; I used the equation below. I'm just going to have represent Plugging in the numbers, I just ended up with So I realize where I messed up. I originally made the velocity precisely 299792457.9999999999999999 instead of 299792457.9999999700207542! That's where...

Never mind the GM/c2 part. I found out that it is called a gravitational radius and it is half as large as the black hole.

Why does the schwarzschild radius have to be twice as big as GM/c2? Is GM/c2 another special kind of radius that is always half the length of the schwarzschild radius? Thanks.

If you had a planet with the exact same mass and radius as the Earth, and adjusted the gravity constant to some value five-hundred million times larger, the schwarzschild radius should become considerably big, right? Instead of being about 8 millimeters, it would now be about 60 to 70 percent...

Equations I used: Relative kinetic energy = (mc^2/(sqrt(1 - v2/c2))) - mc^2 Relative energy = (mc^2/(sqrt(1 - v2/c2))) Relative mass = (m/(sqrt(1 - v2/c2))) Is this where I might be wrong? I just knew the equations and plugged the numbers in and got the results in my paragraph. Could the...

But we'd still prefer Superman throw a light speed punch at 99 percent rather than this object at 99.99999999999999 percent! I don't think any alien civilization will ever be able to create some relativistic death weapon that throws objects at planets at those velocities. Would they? And thanks...
