[extropy-chat] ASTRO: Black holes no more...

[Paul Grant]

Actually I had a similar thought about a week ago...
{apparently this was released last year, interesting
things are afoot}.. I'm firmly convinced that gravity is 
the key to everything :)  In fact, I'm going to make it
my primary focus in studying physics.  That and waveguides
(which might come in very handy in studying gravity) :)
But in any event, I would think that the defining boundary
must in and of itself be non-traversible.  Incidentally,
a warp drive would negate the need to puncture that boundary.
<ducks> :)

So, every time a supernova rings, a universe gets its wings.... If a
singularity event horizon is merely a boundary to another universe
(whether you can git theyah frum heyah is another question), then
hyperspace drives require the ability for occupants of a black hole to
puncture that boundary, travel around the outside of the hole, then
reenter at another point. No sweat.

[0]Mark Eymer observes: "From the Space.com [1]article: 'Emil Mottola 
of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Pawel Mazur of the University
of South Carolina suggest that instead of a star collapsing into a 
pinpoint of space with virtually infinite gravity, its matter is
transformed into a spherical void surrounded by "an extremely durable
form of matter never before experienced on Earth."' While these objects
may abound in the universe, they also say that our entire universe may
reside within a giant gravastar." This new theory attempts to fill holes
in the currently accepted concept of the "black hole".
