SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theory of Cosmic Natural Selection, primarily associated with Professor Lee Smolin, which posits that black holes may reproduce universes under certain conditions. Key questions include the implications of black hole mergers, which result in larger black holes and significant gravitational radiation, and the potential for intelligent life to create tiny black holes in particle accelerators, such as those at CERN. Current measurements indicate that the universe does not possess net angular momentum, despite most black holes exhibiting this property.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Cosmic Natural Selection theory
  • Familiarity with black hole physics and gravitational radiation
  • Knowledge of particle accelerators, specifically the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
  • Basic concepts of angular momentum in astrophysics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Cosmic Natural Selection and its implications for cosmology
  • Explore the effects of black hole mergers on gravitational waves
  • Investigate the capabilities and discoveries of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
  • Study the relationship between gravity and angular momentum in astrophysical contexts
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in the intersection of black hole research and theories of universe formation.

There is a theroy that universes "reporduce" through black holes, and that part of the criteria that requires this also by coinsidence produces conditions that make life possable.

Discussion questions: What happens if two black holes merge?
If intellegent life creats many tiny black holes in particle accelorators, than universes would evolve to support life, is that probable?
Does the universe have net angular momentum, most black holes do?

You get a bigger black hole and a lot of gravitational radiation.

Until we can verify that such things even exist and that black holes actually do spawn new universes, that question is unanswerable.


Does the universe have net angular momentum, most black holes do?

As best we can measure right now, it doesn't.
 
The theory you are referring to is known as Cosmic Natural Selection and is most notably associated with professor Smolin, whose more mainstream work concerns loop quantum gravity.
 
Even if u manage to create artificially a micro mass black hole using accelerators in the future, u won't notice its pico second presence before it evaporates..
With the LHC(CERN) slated to be in place in 2007, ull witness some of the most interesting particle discoveries ever! and confirmation of super-symmetry theory would be one of them..

Unless what we call gravity is "really" angular momentum.
