So like I've been vaguely paying attention to them finding larger, farther, and more red-shifted galaxies. I've been suspecting the universe is a black hole for a while now.

What if: information CAN survive the event horizon... but only if it hits the accretion disk from the side at the perfect angle to spiral in. That's why JWST is finding galaxies that are larger, older, and much more common than we'd anticipated -they're extra-universal objects.

What if dark energy is a function of hawking radiation... and the expansion of our universe is driven by primordial black holes? Maybe hawking radiation is the black hole equalizing the same anti-matter/matter asymmetry we've observed in our universe.

I'm sure someone formally educated on the subject can debunk those ideas tho.

    Love PBS Space time!

    So like in your opinion, tldr, do you think it's explicitly impossible for light to survive entering a black hole such that it could reproduce an image of whatever it reflected off?

    From which point of view?

    If the observer is inside the event horizon of the black hole, they'll see the light as normal. There's nothing special about the event horizon for the observer or the ray of light.

    If the observer is outside of the black hole, they won't ever see the light.

    I'm talking as an inside observer. Like what if spaghettification = red shift and the "too large, too old, to developed" galaxies like MoM-z14 detected by JWST are actually from outside our universe's event horizon.

    It's definitely possible in the case of a real black hole. I think it's unlikely to apply to the model we're talking about - the spaghettification would have to happen outside the event horizon, and that only applies to very small black holes.

    The hardest to understand thing about physics is that for those of us who got off on an earlier offramp it absolutely feels like this is an entirely different category of thing than a statics or dynamics class. Like, it feels like a lot when you go from "here's how ballistics, tension, and springs work" to "this is how electricity flows through metal and what forces make it do so". Then eventually, people who majored in that shit wind up doing this shit.

    It explains subjective experiences?

    Sounds a lot like pseudoscience unless I am missing something major

    De sitter space and anti de sitter space took me a while to grok as it relates to all this stuff

    Here's a far out idea based on absolutely nothing:

    What if all of the information imprinted on the event horizon of a black hole is duplicated and becomes the stuff that creates a new universe inside of a black hole.

    Like. Everything that ever hits the event horizon are the pieces from which a new universe is built
