So this means there are potentially millions of other universes whose portals are within our own?
Good, this one universe did seem a bit too small to hold my ego.

If you mean entering a black hole, well, parts of you will probably make it in. After the spaghettification.

Can't go to work if I'm 1 atom thick.

[–] Apocalypteroid@feddit.uk 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You'll have to log in remotely via teams

I'm sure the audio won't work in space, just like on Earth.

An atom will not be able to mute in a 10+ people meeting. You'll fit right in!

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

You know they'll still make you try though lol

You'll be (probably) fine crossing the horizon into a sufficiently large black hole as far as spaghettification goes. I dont know where we landed with the whole firewall thing though so that might get you either way

Your life just got worse. You're paying rent inside of a black hole.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Just tell your landlord we're in a black hole and the rent doesn't matter.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 30 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't matter the whole issue

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

You are matter but you don't

You need to explain to them that rent isn't matter, so it doesn't matter.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Scientifically speaking, all objects are matter, or rather they are matter. In terms of the financial perspective, your rent does matter, whether or not you want to pay it.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 22 hours ago

And then punch your landlord in the face. They are a landlord, they probably deserve it.

Shiiiit lexx was right

Does that mean we're having spaghettification for dinner?

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I, for one, would like to see the cafeteria menus in advance so parents can adjust their dinner menus accordingly. I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghettification meals in one day.

time to spagettify spaghettis, lets create hyperspag

fact... potentially...

Yes, we're going to ignore a sensationalist conclusion that is not supported by evidence.

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean technically the sentence structure says that:

  • Fact: NASA has done something
  • That something: potentially discovering that we are in a black hole

So in a sense there is no contradiction there with the words "fact" and "potentially". Although there is a relevant possibility for confusion of what is being stated as a fact, so your point stands. I just like nitpicking on technicalities :D

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

In a sense removed from context, yes.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (32 children)

The actual model is just that, a model. It says that our universe can be described the same way as we describe the information systems around an event horizon, and in many cases in physics, if a system can be described using the same model it is often related, connected or the same in some way.

It's not sensationalist, but it's highly misinterpreted and turned into sensationalism.

It doesn't really give us anything meaningful that we can use or understand the universe better just yet, but maybe someday someone will figure out something that helps us better understand where the universe came from. That's all. It's a very convincing theory if you learn about entropy and Planck-scales and event horizons around black holes, but it's not even sensational on its own.
