I believe black holes are 3D. They are perfect spheres of super-dense material, not holes, although I guess you could describe the effect they have on the surrounding spacetime as a hole... think of a bowling ball on a sheet suspended above the ground, except that a sheet is 2D and space is 3D - basically the same effect any body has on spacetime, except much stronger because of the BH's larger mass. My point was that the singularity is is so dense that there couldn't be a next stage of them (as far as I know- I could be wrong). I see what you're saying. But I don't think anything in current physics supports the idea of a black hole squared. Here's the theory I was talking about that is quite similar to yours... Scientific American

I've certainly heard crazier. You've seem to of almost hit on a current theory proposed by some... that a black hole in a previous universe may of had something to do with our current existence. I'm no scientist, I only have a amateur interest in physics but here's what I see wrong with your theory... Black holes are what we call singularities (just like the big bang in many ways - thus the the reasoning behind this). These are a point in spacetime that the gravitational forces are so immense that the laws of physics break down. I'm not sure if there can be 'levels' of black holes, or levels of their power. We can have BHs that are different sizes, but I believe they would all have the same innards, even if one was the size on a universe.

I don't buy the 'it's a meaningless question, it's like asking what's north of the north pole' answer to this question. Do we know for a fact that time was created 13.7 billion years ago along with the spacial dimensions? And even if it was, would this nullify the laws of cause and effect? For me, the Big Bang must of had a cause. Whether it is the collision of two other universe branes, or the creation of a black hole in another reality, or something else entirely, I don't know. But for me that fact that our cosmos has a finite past yet an infinite future is proof to me that existence if larger that what was created in the Big Bang. Existence must be eternal in both directions.

Why are particle physicists bad in bed? Because when they find the position, they loose the momentum, and when the find the momentum, they loose the position...

I was under the impression that Deja-vu happens when your brain misfiles what it's experiencing. Instead of filing what's happening now under short term memories, it sticks it in long term memory. These work quite differently. So you're walking down a hallway you've never been in before, and you're brain puts the experience of this into long term memory. You get a weird feeling that at some point in the past you've walked down it before, but you don't remember when. Personally, it happens to me mostly when I've ingested illicit substances...

Hello! I'm MacIver, I've been a regular over at Ratskep since its inception and thought it was about time I came across to SFN. I've lurked here before, but decided it was time to become a full member. I'm a 25 year old male from Scotland. I've always been into science, particularly astrology and physics. But find it all fascinating. I look forward to talking with y'all.
