Infinity: The symbol of Infinity. |
Some people think infinity is possible. I, of course, agree with them, but not quite in the same way. Because, you see, I only agree with them in numerical terms. Numbers continue on forever, no beginning, no end. However, that is the only way infinity is possible. Lets take, for example, a black hole. Scientists say that it has infinite gravity, infinite mass, and an infinitely small singularity. But I disagree. None are infinite.
First, the gravity isn't infinite. The reason why it isn't infinite is because if it was infinite, there would be infinite friction between the fabric of space-time to the point that it will boil, thus ripping away a portion of our universe, creating a new one which will be in the big bang period, and will have to wait 13.7 billion years to form moderate galaxies. But that's a different story. Also, infinite gravity means that the gravity will pull the universe together with infinite force into a singularity that will be destroyed because of one black hole. See what I mean, infinity isn't possible. Oh, also, once our universe gets destroyed, the infinite gravity of a black hole will go after the other universes, and since one of them has to have a black hole, they will form a supermassive black hole and destroy the multiverse. But there are millions, billions of black holes in our universe right? So we wouldn't be standing here right? See, no infinite gravity.
Your probably wondering, "How about the infinite mass and infinite singularity"? Well, I got an awnser for that too. This time, we'll start with the mass. You see, if something has infinite mass, it is supposed to make an an infinitely sized well in the fabric of space-time. But that's not possible. The fabric of space-time is only for the universes, not the multiverse(s). That means our universe will technically turn into a well with things shooting toward it at the speed of light. But there is a problem with that too. A theory says, it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate something at the speed of light (besides a light beam). But that's not true.
Since you can make a light beam go faster than 180,000 miles per second, (the speed of light) we can use a proportion to solve this problem which is, Mass of light over speed of light equals Mass of object over x. You can easily see that it won't be infinite. So that means that the stars and beams of light and asteroids and galaxies and all the other things in the universe will shoot toward it at the speed of light or faster and incinerate. But are we incinerated yet? No. Are we rushing toward our doom faster than the speed of light toward a black hole which will probably destroy us in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a millisecond? No. So that means the mass of the billions of black holes in the universe don't have infinite mass either. They only have a lot of mass that can destroy anything that comes to close to the singularity. And that brings us to our third topic.
"What about the infinity small singularity" you might wonder. Well, I will awnser that in a moment. The infinity small singularity is impossible too. Imagine something infinitely small. None of us human beings can imagine something infinitely small. There is a reason why you can't do that. First, our brains are not equipped to think such things. But that's neuroscience. The second reason is that something can't be infinitely small because there is always a smaller size. Let's use the number line as an example. And lets say zero is the size of an hydrogen atom. There is a negative one right? That's a subatomic particle. and negative two and so forth. As I said before, in numerical terms, infinity is possible. So if the negative numbers are the subatomic particles, and numbers continue forever, that means there is always a smaller subatomic particle.
It's like infinity minus one.
Now back to the black hole I mentioned about. If what I said earlier is correct, this means that the "infinitely small" singularity is not infinite. However, if the singularity was infinitely small, the black hole would destroy itself and the suns and stars in our galaxy is orbiting a black hole with tremendous speed will hurtle with each other and destroy each other and I think you know that almost all the galaxies in the universe have a supermassive black hole in the middle and a lot of little black holes inside the galaxy that destroy stars, and, well I'll leave it to you to predict the effect. (If you can't predict what will happen, the awnser is, galaxies will crash with each other and destroy each other and leave a barren universe.) Oh, and for those of you who predicted what will happen, were not in that situation right now right? See? So no infinitely small singularity. All the infinite mass, gravity, and singularity were not infinite, only to the extreme extreme.
Thank you.
