What would happen to the earth if there was a rip in the fabric of deep space and what could cause that rip?

Question

Deep space would be outside our solar system and I also want to know once the rip happened what would be inside the rip.

Answer 1

A rip in the fabric of space is just a Star Trek science fiction idea. So anything the writers could dream up would be possible. Modern physics has some pretty strange ideas, but I don't think a "rip in the fabric of space" is one of them.

Answer 2

There is no "fabric" of space. The term is used metaphorically. Therefore there is nothing to "rip." The descriptions of spacetime as being warped is based on the mathematical description of how the three space dimensions and time are related. Large masses "warp" spacetime, causing us to use a non-rectangular coordinate system to describe spacetime. Black holes (if they exist, which despite current discussion has not been firmly established and is being challenged by some very bright, serious, and respected scientists) are said to "tear" spacetime, but only at a singularity, which is a "point" with no volume. So even assuming black holes are reality, we are talking about a (very tiny) hole in spacetime, not a rip. As to what is on the "other side" of that hole, the question is meaningless because any material that would fall into the hole would never emerge. Thus the hole is inaccessible to science, and scientific study necessarily requires evidence.

Answer 3

I don't think that space can rip because of the surface tension. It acts like water. When you have a drip of water forming it will continue to get bigger and bigger until it breaks away from the source. The water doesn't continue to stream out of the source, it stops. It is self sealing.

A rip.. how about a black hole. The black hole is immense density in a very small area and the fabric can't hold it so the black hole sinks, like a forming drip.

Does it continue to sink into the fabric for ever or will it break off? Would the blackhole seperate from our universe and into another dimension?

An example would be watching a water drip form in slow motion. You can see all the matter filling up and the drip forming until it breaks away.

What ought to reason this? it ought to might want to be something vast adequate, ie: something a lot extra vast than earth, like Uranus as an celebration. And if that is a rogue planet, it ought to must have a extremely intense speed of its personal to fling earth out of image voltaic orbit. allow's take a Uranus-length merchandise, 8.6 x 10^25 kg, and promises it a positive interaction for a gravity-help, so it grazes our position at possibly 40 5 km/s (purely-over image voltaic spoil out speed), overtaking us at ~15 km/s. Our closest attitude ought to correctly be someplace round sixty 9,000km.. close to the Roche decrease. Any closer and the Earth will spoil aside. Tidal impact will be severe, dominating all different tidal impacts from 3 days in the previous to three days after closest attitude, and through this time oceans will upward push to the optimal tides achievable, swamping coastal areas globally. If it receives close adequate, that's going to reason a lot of earthquakes because it distorts Earth's structure like an egg.. a twin of Desdemona. The crust ought to spoil aside and unexpectedly subduct thoroughly, and if this happens, the oceans will boil. At image voltaic spoil out speed @1AU, we must be vacationing .7 AU / month; it ought to take us the added perfect part of a month to achieve mars orbit, and a pair of months to bypass into the asteroid belt. yet by employing the time we attain jupiter's orbit, our % ought to have dropped to about 1/2. it ought to take a number of years to make our way out previous neptune. issues ought to settle slowly into the longest iciness. (mars in summer time is almost 0 degrees C). The oceans will freeze at a cost ~4 m/three hundred and sixty 5 days, so that they are going to take 1000 years to freeze strong, regardless of the indisputable fact that the molten rock lower than ought to take a lot longer. (one estimate is one billion years, yet that is at Earth's contemporary orbit, and with the moon's tidal impact). by employing the time we get by potential of the asteroid belt, the optimal temperatures on the floor must be -34 C. by employing the time we get to Jupiter's orbit, there must be oxygen rain on chilly days, and something left alive ought to have had to burrow down, between a million and eight km to detect a convenience zone. by employing the time we attain Uranus orbit, nitrogen rain ought to oftentimes actually have prompted many of the last surroundings. At Neptune's orbit, the floor must be round 38 to 50 Kelvin.
