The Fractal Black Hole

Several new theories are being talked about in the physics and quantum physics worlds. From the idea that this reality could just be a holographic simulation to string theory, the possibility that there are endless dimensions coexisting at the same time just outside visible frequency ranges. But one theory that truly "blows my mind" for lack of a better term are the new hypotheses coming out regarding black holes. This theory states that within each massive black hole, which is at the center of every galaxy (of which there are endless numbers), exists the possibility that an entirely different universe exists. What this means, as explained by the popular and well-respected astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the possibility of a truly infinite number of realities exist and happen. So every thought, every single action, every single opportunity that could exist has already happened. As I am typing this, another version of myself could be typing the exact same thing, and yet another version could be typing just a slight variation.... Wow. Mind blown.

  1. I really enjoyed this post because it seems like this was a topic that interested you and that is why you selected it. I am a big fan of Dr Neil (as I like to call him) . He is such an amazing thinker. ...and as to this theory...I agree: Mind Blown.
