Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of the universe's expansion and its potential relationship with gravity from a black hole. Participants explore various interpretations of time, gravity, and the nature of the universe's expansion, touching on theoretical implications and speculative ideas.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the universe's expansion is akin to an exploding black hole, proposing that gravity from this black hole could control the expansion and the flow of time.
  • Another participant critiques the initial post as overly complex and unclear, indicating a lack of coherence in the argument presented.
  • A different participant expresses strong disagreement with the initial claim, labeling it as nonsensical and suggesting that the author should engage with established physics.
  • One participant points out that time is a measured value and questions the validity of attributing the role of a 'clock' to gravity, indicating that this does not resolve the complexities of time's definition.
  • A later reply emphasizes the need for clarity in questioning and understanding, suggesting that the initial post does not conform to the forum's standards for inquiry.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants exhibit significant disagreement regarding the initial claims about the universe's expansion and the role of gravity. There is no consensus on the validity of the ideas presented, and the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of understanding and acceptance of the concepts discussed, with some indicating that the initial post lacks clarity and coherence. The discussion highlights the challenges in articulating complex theoretical ideas in a forum setting.

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.
