Relativity does not predict singularities. Einstein wrote in 1939 - "The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (he was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters (star) whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." He was referring to dilation. It's the phenomenon our high school teachers were talking about when they said "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". This does not mean mass increases, it means mass becomes spread throughout spacetime relative to an outside observer. Time dilation is just one aspect of dilation. Even mass that exists at 75% light speed is partially dilated. It occurs wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass, this includes the centers of high mass stars and the majority of galaxy centers. This has been accepted for a long time. Dilation is occurring in our own galactic center. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. More precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid. In other words that mass is all around us. It's the "missing mass" needed to explain galaxy rotation curves. It doesn't occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has recently been confirmed in 6 ultra diffuse galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have normal rotation rates, in other words they have no dark matter/dilated mass.
Einstein’s 1939 skepticism about singularities was rooted in the idea that matter cannot arbitrarily concentrate without approaching the speed of light, where relativistic effects like time dilation and mass-energy equivalence become significant. However, modern interpretations of general relativity show that singularities-though likely non-physical in their "infinite density" form-are robust predictions of the theory under extreme conditions, such as those in black holes. The idea that dilation could explain the missing mass associated with dark matter is intriguing, particularly in light of the differing rotation curves observed in ultra-diffuse galaxies. If high-mass galactic centers spread their mass across spacetime, forming what appears to be "dark matter," this could provide an alternative explanation. However, it would need to account for phenomena like the Bullet Cluster, where gravitational lensing indicates dark matter distributions that are spatially distinct from baryonic mass. Furthermore, while ultra-diffuse galaxies like NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 exhibit normal rotation curves, their lack of "dark matter" could also stem from their unique formation histories or interactions, rather than disprove dark matter entirely. The standard model of cosmology, supported by the Lambda-CDM framework, provides extensive evidence for dark matter, including large-scale structure formation and the cosmic microwave background. If mass dilation is a viable explanation, it would need rigorous theoretical development and robust empirical validation to challenge the current paradigm. Exploring this idea alongside established models could enrich our understanding of gravity, relativity, and the nature of dark matter. Your perspective contributes to this dialogue, emphasizing the need for open-minded investigation in physics.
@explorationnewreaches Einstein's reasoning on why singularities do not exist is solid. Wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur. This forbids astronomical concentrations of mass. Nobody believed in singularities when Einstein was alive including Plank, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Pauli, Dirac, Feynman etc. for this reason. There is no Schwarzchild radius according to Schwarzchild. He was publicly corrected and knew he was wrong. What we see in modern astronomy has been known since 1925. This is when the existence of galaxies was confirmed. It was clear that there should be an astronomical quantity of light emanating from our own galactic center. Singularities were popularized by television and movies beginning in the 1960's. There was clarity in astronomy before this happened. The recent discovery that very low mass galaxies have predictable star rotation rates is confirmation Einstein was correct. There can be no other realistic explanation. It can be inferred mathematically that dilation is not occurring in those galaxies.

Your argument presents a fascinating perspective that reconnects us to Einstein's original skepticism about singularities and emphasizes the concept of dilation as an alternative framework. It’s true that Einstein’s contemporaries generally shared his aversion to the notion of singularities, which were considered mathematical artifacts rather than physical realities. However, advancements in both observational astronomy and theoretical physics since then have shifted the conversation significantly. Regarding dilation, your assertion that astronomical concentrations of mass inherently prevent singularities deserves closer scrutiny. Dilation indeed stretches mass-energy distributions across spacetime as velocities approach relativistic limits, but this effect does not inherently negate the formation of singularities as described in solutions like the Schwarzschild metric. The singularity in a black hole represents a point where classical general relativity breaks down, necessitating a quantum gravity explanation. The discovery of low-mass galaxies like NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 with normal rotation rates is indeed compelling evidence that may challenge certain aspects of dark matter models. However, these observations fit within the broader framework of dark matter as an explanation for cosmic phenomena such as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, gravitational lensing in galaxy clusters like the Bullet Cluster, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Reconciling these findings with Einstein’s framework would require a nuanced approach that accounts for all these observations. Singularities in popular culture have undoubtedly distorted public understanding of black holes and relativity, often prioritizing dramatic over scientific accuracy. However, the science itself-spurred by observational breakthroughs like LIGO’s detection of gravitational waves and Event Horizon Telescope imaging-continues to refine our understanding of these extreme objects. These efforts have revealed that while Einstein’s theories remain foundational, they do not capture the entire picture, particularly in regimes where quantum effects dominate. In essence, Einstein’s intuition about mass dilation and its role in cosmic phenomena might offer valuable insights, but fully integrating it with modern astrophysical observations and theoretical developments requires substantial investigation. Could dilation as you describe account for the rich variety of evidence supporting dark matter? Or could it complement existing theories, bridging classical and quantum descriptions of the cosmos? These are questions that invite further exploration.
Imagine utter internal peace, quiet, balance. Then, somehow an imbalance occurred leading to a cataclysmic failure. I hypothesise, that THAT moment of failure was what we now call the big bang & that ALL we now witness, (including us), is merely by-product from a catastrophe that (perhaps) is trying to right itself (dark matter, blackholes). We are like parasites that exist briefly, as a result of the violent demise of something that was once was. What we call “the beginning” might be the messy ending to something that was once… wonderful. Just a thought…
Quantum mechanics, while offering insights into the nature of time, does not currently support practical time travel. Theoretical frameworks like closed timelike curves (CTCs) suggest possibilities under general relativity, but they face paradoxes and lack experimental evidence. Quantum entanglement and superposition reveal strange temporal behaviors, yet these phenomena don't enable time travel. Thus, while quantum mechanics deepens our understanding of time, it remains speculative whether it could unlock the secrets to traversing it.
@@explorationnewreaches Quantum mechanics provides fascinating insights into the nature of time but does not currently support practical time travel. Theoretical constructs like closed timelike curves (CTCs) proposed under general relativity hint at the possibility of time loops, yet these face significant challenges, such as paradoxes like the grandfather paradox, and remain unsupported by experimental evidence. Similarly, quantum phenomena like entanglement and superposition exhibit peculiar temporal behaviors, such as the apparent ability to connect events across spacetime, but they stop short of enabling actual time travel. In summary, while quantum mechanics enhances our understanding of time's complexities, the idea of traversing it remains purely theoretical and speculative at this stage.
The cycle of life and death may seem like a meaningless loop, but it also reflects the fundamental nature of the universe: constant motion and renewal. Meaning might not lie in the final outcome but in the journey-the experiences, creations, and connections we make with the world and each other during our existence. Is it truly meaningless, or are we the ones who give it meaning?
@@explorationnewreaches Well.. seeing as humans are deadset on killing one another and wiping entire species out and wiping information on our past history, I do not entirely agree with your view but I do see your point. Just because we can type and write, does it make us any different to any other species? We are smarter for sure... but are we really? We just ruin everything we come across. Sure, we have some very good people on earth trying to help but we're about 20,000 years too late, we have forever changed the planet. It's also taken us about 3million years to evolve from stone tools, not exactly smart as far as modern day learning goes. Tech breeds more tech faster and faster but humans will not survive without electronics and electricity today, we are a delicate and dependent species. All of our survival knowledge has basically been lost, you do however get the odd survivalist's but they ALL use tools and clothing made by electronics and technology. That's my thought process.
