Is it possible that the expansion of the universe is being accelerated by black holes?

Question

I read an article about Hawking radiation and black holes some time ago, and I wonder if it is possible that black holes could actually be fueling the ever increasing expansion that we are seeing? My idea is this: That since a black hole has infinite density could that matter actually be pushing through the spacetime fabric and being observed as that apparent matter we see in vacuum. By this I mean the theory that vacuum actually contains billions of subatomic particles that are being created and destroyed every second. And that it is this energy that is accelerating the expansion we are observing.

Answer 1

Yes it is possible and I heart steven hawking

Answer 2

In order to generate expansion, or movement, of the universe, it stands to reason that much 'movement of energy' would be required. Despite your views on the functionality of black holes in the universe, I would hope all could agree that there is a vast amount of 'movement of energy' created by the force of any black hole. Whether this facilitates the direct movement of the universe or not remains to be determined. It could be that the effect of the black hole on the surrounding universe could actually 'trigger' the movement of energy in said object sooner and obviously more violent than would have occurred otherwise. Could be that the energy of the black hole 'captures' the energy of several components of the surrounding universe, thus creating a 'tidal wave' of energy surrounding the black hole. It could be that this energy is actually directly responsible for the movement of the universe, thus making the black holes important catalysts in this process.

Answer 3

i don't think so. black holes would lead to a smaller universe as they asorbe all matter near them.
the only way this might have some truth is if a black hole is another type of wormhole that turns into a white hole someother place in the space time contimum and dumps the matter into this other space.
other explanations would invole religion or the "big bang".
our minds are not evolued enough to think that big yet. mabey or souls can but the body couldn't handle it all at once.

Answer 4

Would the force of the vast densness be greater than the force of gravity on the universe. Is it possible that really they are slowing it down and the universe is simply diffusing into more space? Many things are possible.

Answer 5

I think that the Universe's expansion is getting slower since nothing ever does go on forever.

Answer 6

in theory ya it is, i mean but when you think about it it seems nearly improbable, but still possible, i think it is very possible, i have theories about space, alot of them, but you dont want to be here reading theories that might only be theories

Answer 7

yes?
