LouDiamond 1 #4 March 2, 2010 While it may seem cool, this sounds like something out of the movie Idiocracy and further proof that as a society we are getting closer to becoming like the people in that movie. From the movie: "Narrator: Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them."

regulator 0 #8 March 2, 2010 allright I might have misspelled the name but the theory still applies ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not even a googol atoms. Much less a googolplexxxxx. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A black hole is not necessarily a singularity, "quantum" or otherwise. Either way it's full of stuff that may have useta been atoms, photons, free quarks, electrons and neutrinos and other -ons and -inos. But from the point of view of all that stuff, it was never anything other than what it is now ("now" meaning eternity) since time does not exist "inside" the hole. (some theories even suggest that it is not impossible that there is only one particle or "thing" in the universe and that the direction of time is two ways. A positron can be described as an electron travelling "backwards" in time as we perceive it. In that case the same particle can be travelling back and forth in time very fast playing the part of each particle that we perceive in our universe.) I read that somewhere.
