Doesn't it stand to reason that the singularity shrinks to insignificance?Posted by snarfo_99 on January 23, 2003 at 22:30:47: If that were to occur, then it stands to reason that where we once had a singularity of infinate gravity that would now be replaced by an expanding bubble of uncontracted space that will continue it's expansion infinately at C. And so the matter within this expanding bubble of uncontracted space will move ever further apart at an ever faster rate, like air bubbles inside a souffle. If this is true, then this expanding bubble of uncontracted space would perfectly explain Hubble's Constant. And to go further, what we now refer to as "Dark Matter" would actually be rivers or bits of still contracted space within the uncontracted space left over by the singularity before it winked out of existence. What that would mean is, it isn't simply matter which possesses gravity, but contracted space itself also which can only manifest itself in the presence of relatively uncontracted space. If this were true, then every black hole contains a new universe(s) just like our own. And outside the event horizons we will have a gravity field forever due to the relativistic effects created within the event horizon - but that gravity outside the event horizon will be virtual because the singularity within disappeared within a few seconds of the creation of the event horizon. Which means, the singularity is not an object, but rather an event.
