Everything is nothing?

Question

Could it be possible that the universe is disapearing? everytime a black hole spins out everything that was sucked int oit goes away...therefore parts of the universe are lost...but it is said that information can never be lost...it can be hidden, forgotten, etc. But its always here...and everything inside a black hole contains information..one day will information be gone...?

Answer 1

The prevailing theory right now is that there is an infinite number of other universes. If black holes in our universe cause the loss of information here it is not truly lost because it exists in another universe where there are no black holes.

An opposing theory put out just recently by Stephen Hawkings says the information is never really lost from our universe by a black hole. He theorizes that to someone falling into a black hole nothing seems to be happening to that person. To observers outside the black hole it would seem that the information is smeared around the event horizon but never loses its information. The math is not complete on this alternate theory but Hawkings and others are trying to prove the hypothesis now.

Answer 2

matter can be changed but not lost. Recent articles in Scientific American say that not all matter is sucked into black holes just most of it. However until we find a way to get close enough to the black hole without being destroyed ourselves we won't know what happens to the matter being sucked into it. I think that matter including the particles that make up light get sucked into the black hole and get torn apart into smaller matter. We would not need a particle accelerator if we could get close enough to study what comes out the other end. Remember that there are smaller things than protons and neutrons so I think that there are smaller things than the particles we do know about. Since black holes are so far away I wouldn't worry about being sucked into one any time soon.

Answer 3

The universe is disappearing but it has nothing to do with black holes.
It is an evolving process of a finite entity.
The life of the universe is probably scores of billions of years but not a trillion.
Black holes are useless entities [If they exist] but the neutron star is probably the key to the demise of the universe.

Answer 4

The energy of the universe is dissipating, but it'll take a trillion years or so to run down. So you don't have to worry about it.

Answer 5

I thought the universe has mass and energy, but I didnt know it had information.
