AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept that the universe's expansion may be influenced by a black hole's gravity, suggesting that time is affected by this gravitational force. However, this idea is dismissed as nonsensical and lacking scientific basis, emphasizing that time is a measured value rather than a function of gravity. Participants encourage clarity and focus in questions posed about astronomy and astrophysics, highlighting the importance of well-defined inquiries for productive discussions. The forum is intended for educational purposes, urging users to engage with established scientific concepts rather than speculative theories. Clear communication is essential for meaningful learning in the field of science.

What we experience as time is just the universe expanding into essentially nothing and the universe continues to speed up because literally nothing is stopping the big bang because the big bang is an exploding black hole that sucked in everything to begin with or perhaps the black hole is so powerful that it's still sucking everything up causing a constant explosion and the universe just appears to be expanding because its getting sucked up the by the black hole at the same rate it's exploding (but speeding up) so time is controlled by the gravity generated by the black hole? And the stronger the gravity the faster the universe expands speeding time up and (the movement of) space?

That's a very long word salad sentence..
 
pure and unadulterated BS. You should read some real physics.
 
Time is not well defined, it is a measured value where the universe serves as our clock. Ascribing gravity the role of 'clock' does not resolve this issue.
 
000Tommy, Welcome to Physics Forums.

This is a place for anyone to ask a question about Astronomy (or other subjects) and to receive answers/explanations from experts who are well-educated in their fields.

This is NOT a place for such posts as you have written above. What is your question? Your first 100 words, followed by a question mark is not a question. It is a rambling mixture of words that make no sense whatever. This is NOT a place to try to imagine some new theory or idea, either (if that's what you tried).

Now, seriously, if you know some things about Astronomy or Astrophysics, and want to learn more, then please write out your questions in clear English. Be sure to limit each question to only ONE subject. You will be surprised how much you can learn about science once you learn how to use this valuable resource.
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
