If universe were to stop or contract, it would collapse into black hole permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) The moment before the big bang, the universe was a singularity similar to a black hole though. In fact, our universe shares several properties with black holes (mass/energy can never escape it, for example) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago* It's more akin to a white hole. With accelerating expansion It seems everything will escape eventually. And then 'accidentally' observable universe is just slightly below Schweidshield radius which would collapse it back into regular black hole. Seems like a very peculiar coincidence. permalink fedilink source parent
