Baby Universes? - Leonard Susskind's Hyperspace Theory

AI Thread Summary
Leonard Susskind's theory suggests that black holes could give rise to "baby universes" in hyperspace, where the information contained within the black hole is preserved. This concept implies that these baby universes might expand similarly to our own universe. However, the idea raises concerns about increasing entropy, as it could lead to the loss of information and transform quantum fluctuations into thermal fluctuations. The theory remains speculative and lacks empirical support, making it difficult to form solid conclusions. Overall, the discussion highlights the intriguing yet contentious nature of theories surrounding black holes and information preservation.

I was reading about Leonard Susskind's many theories of how what happens to the information that is 'inside' of a black hole. The one that really stood out to me is the 'baby universe' idea, in which once the black hole dissolves, it forms a baby universe out there in hyperspace, and all of the information that it accumulated is trapped inside this 'baby universe'. This could mean that these universes are expanding, just like our own, and perhaps our own could've formed this way! The only issue, though is that this would increase entropy, because it would have the same effect as dissapearing information, and make quantum fluctuations into 'thermal fluctuations' which I suppose wouldn't be to great.

So what are your thoughts on this idea?

This is completely unsupportable with any kind of evidence, so unfortunenantly no one can really give any solid views on it. It's all just conjecture and opinion. Not to mention the term "Hyperspace".

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
