So I have a question.

" In modern physics, there is no such thing as "nothing." Even in a perfect vacuum, pairs of virtual particles are constantly being created and destroyed. The existence of these particles is no mathematical fiction. Though they cannot be directly observed, the effects they create are quite real. The assumption that they exist leads to predictions that have been confirmed by experiment to a high degree of accuracy."

So how should one look at this?

As if there was a infinite 'something' hidden from our universe containing all 'possible' energy releasing it spontaneously?

What would that be.
And how would it express itself inside a black hole?
As we know(?) that inside that event horizon distances can become infinite, as seen from the inside.
Would that then mean infinite amount of 'energy' and virtual pair creation?
And how can we reconcile that plausibility with the concept that outside the event horizon our observer can circle and 'pinpoint' the same black hole in our universe?

And no, it's facts :)
Hey I'm just asking..

Hi yor_on,
I assume that what you refer to is the probability of particle pair production as permitted by the QM Uncertainty Principle? But QM, like every other theory of physics, can only be applicable to the known universe - so I cannot see how we can try to apply it to some hidden area outside of our universe.

I know that a black hole is an enigma and a singularity.
Still, my question about space internally inside the event horizon seems proved mathematically at least :) so to me it's a 'legal' question.

I'm not asking about anything that is out of bounds here really..
If this is out of bounds then so must all proofs and ideas about black holes be too?
As well as the mathematical foundation for that internal space inside a gravity well.
look here

This is a new idea here on 'physorg' to quarantine all questions that leaps out of what one easily can answer.
Or maybe some don't really want to expose themselves here anymore?

I wonder what Albert would have thought if this media had existed when he was young.
He first made his thought experiments, then he learnt borrowed and st? udied :) the math to explain them formally.

anyway Edward, thanks but no thanks..

Reading you again?
Are you thinking that space inside a gravity well won't produce virtual particles?
Now you got me confused:)

Hi Vor on,

A theory may not have explained space time. Maybe you should question the theory, instead of space time. Experiments can verify or invalidate a theory. Look at the DAPNIA, CERN experiment starting this Fall, it will test Earth's gravity on antihydrogen.

the geometry of the space itself is the background of all the structures of spacetime;is the metric of all nonlinear orders,that permit infinities degrees of freedom or multiples dimensions to the spacetimes-this is, the curvatures in nonlinear structures are extremely variables,measuring velocities,accelerations with different types of geometries
