Thread: Singularity questions - limits of

Hello.

Would it in theory be possible for a singularity within a universe to consume and/or negate the universe it existed in? What would result from this?

Would it in theory be possible for a singularity to retune a universe? This meaning (from my understanding) the laws that govern that specific universe become modified/changed.

Would a singularity of these magnitudes be able to create another instance of a universe or more so?

Oh, that set off another question that is a tad off the subject.

Is it possible to retune a universe? If it is not from a singularity what in theory would have this ability?

Thanks.

Technically a singularity is not in the universe - it is a "hole" that you cannot fill up.

From my limited knowledge, all singularities observed in our universe are surrounded by an event horizon, a boundry in spacetime beyond which events cannot effect an observer.

A naked singularity is one which doesn't have an event horizon.

Then again we may someday be able to create a universe:

Not unlike my wife's mouth

Oh crap - i hope she never reads this. :?
If she does please read my thread in the "biology" section under "Is castration reversible?"
