    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    P.S. You say I'm not allowed to "speculate unscientifically," however all science begins with theory and, if the definition of theory is: "a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual...

    (This post is not in direct response to the post(s) immediately preceeding it.) First of all, I was not making arrogant statements. If that appears to be the case, it is only because that final post, last night, was written after my bedtime and while in a conversation with two of the most...

    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    In case you hadn't noticed, this thread started with a 101 on the meaning of "singularity" in response to a question I asked when researching for a play -- and in direct response to something Marcus wrote in 2006. I did PM Marcus -- but he chose to address the topic in this forum. Since...

    Here, let me say something which I hope won't piss you off. It's a quote by... me! QUOTE ME: It is sometimes easier for an uneducated mind to see the obvious. END QUOTE You see, you educated types have to contend with the sum total of all the brilliant thinking as well as all the...

    Oh, right! And you scientific types never say anything weird? The idea of only one universe in infinity seems unlikely to me. But no matter how many there might or might not be, or what type of "space" they do or do not occupy, there is always an infinite "whole" we are (and have always...

    Yep. That was my dropping off point. No, but if my research keeps going like it has been, I might be asking permission to use some of your quotations. I think it's pretty obvious I'm in no position to educate anyone in the matters of scientific theory -- that is not my intention...

    But, the "new" universe probably wouldn't be just like ours. I mean it could be denser or much much smaller, (at least to start.) I truly believe (here I go again) that we currently share "space" with other universes that are much less dense than we are, so we can't see them. By the same...

    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    Well, anyway, I must sound really dumb to you. However if anyone has any wonderful quotations (especially older ones I might not need permission to use) that illuminate the "there is no time" and "alternate realities do exist and can occupy the same space" concepts, I would appreciate if you...

    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    Oh, I just found this. (It's so funny -- google keeps taking me to posts by Marcus) Quote Marcus: "There is also Leonardo Modesto, postdoc at Rovelli's institute in Marseille. He has written a couple of papers removing the BH singularity. There is a tension between the Modesto picture (where...

    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    Okay, now I'm ready to sound really dumb. I've always thought that black holes take in matter from our universe, condense it and dump it into other dimensions, or alternate universes, causing a "big bang" on that side. Should I commit suicide immediately?

    Graduate Singularity (Wikipedia and Mathworld definitions)

    Hi Marcus: I appreciate your kind explanation of singularities, however I PM’d you because I am writing a play wherein the non-existence of time as well as so-called "alternate realities" are part of the conceptual backdrop so I have been doing some research looking for elegant quotations I...
