The fact that the Universe is expanding gives it black hole properties. Imagine your 1 ly outside the edge and you look back. You would see the Universe rushing twords you (or you twords it) and you could never outrun it. No matter how far you hop the universe is expanding right behind you, engulfing you. And from your perspective, your always being "pulled" back in. No escape unless its to the 5th dimension, and even if that exists and it is possible, there is no way to determine if the Universe is expanding or contracting in said dimension.
And just imagine, the combined mass of every black hole, star, planet. EVERYTHING...........your ship couldnt possibly escape the gravity of the Universe. And from the outside, your ship would see it all as one big mass. You try and try and try to accelerate away, but no matter how fast you go, no matter which way you go, the gravity of the Universe curves you back twords it. Like the frame dragging effect of a black hole. No matter how fast you go, space itself is warped around the hole causing all directions to fall back into the hole. So Accelerating to warp 2 just gets you to the singularity faster.
But would this combined mass emit light? At least as seen from the outside? From what I understand, the answer would have to be no. If the Universe "contains" ALL light, then none should be able to escape. It cant, because its contained. This "should" make the Universe VERY dark unless you were inside it.
People into string theory must be loving this. What other force than a black hole can possess the raw power to fold dimensions?
Basically, as long as it dies in the end, the overall math works, and you end with what you start. 0+0=0
Even if its 0=1-1+1-1+1+1+1-1-1-1+1+1+1-1-1-1+1+1+1+1=0
As far as a "white" hole, perhaps this is what waits for us on the other side of the "dark flow"
Its all very interesting, but my main question(S)are these.
If space were a fixed sheet, and you contracted one piece of it, would not another piece "stretch" or appear to "expand"? Would it not be forced to? How far can this fabric stretch before tearing? How thin? 1 quark? 2.....
If you take a bedsheet and spread it out over your bed, and then crumple a little ball of bedsheet right in the center, are not the edges pulled in twords the center as well? Perhaps "dark flow" is the secret to expansion. Without it, "space" has no expanding force. If the bedsheet were rubber, and the edges fastened down, the sheet would "expand" at all points except one. And the one point is the area where you are crumpling the sheet. This point would be an "intersection" point where all space and time would be compacting.
The problem with this hypothesis is that ALL points should be contracting to this one.
But.......when you think about expansion, the human mind tries to visually see it as one point. A singularity if you will, where all space time expanded from. Yet when you conceptualize it, all points expanded from all other points at the same time.
So what happens if we flip it around? All points contracting on all points at the same time? The universe would shrink back down to a much smaller neighborhood.
If "Dark Flow" is bound by gravity, then shouldn't the adding of galaxies IN the flow increase the overall mass of the flow itself? In other words, shouldn't it become more massive, aka more gravity, aka more galaxies, aka more dark flow?
And why isn't it universal? Why can we only observe it in ONE section of the CMB? Like its one point, counterpointing another (big bang?) Why do clusters closer to home not have these properties? And where is all the matter going once it enters this "dark flow"?
0=1-1=0 perhaps?
Or is there a cosmic "vacuum cleaner" in orbit around the visible Universe?
What is confining it to ONE section? And why is it required that it be so far away? Why do we not have other "dark flows" closer to home? What is so special about THAT particular section of space where this CAN exist, verses the space where WE exist?
