A hole in the space time continuum with out an event horizon. If that sentance does not make sense, don't feel bad. It is pretty esoteric stuff, you have to be into astro physics to really discuss this stuff.

I just thought it was a neat topic ... and I still don't have answers to my three questions!! Hmmm, not entirely true. Given the creation of the second event horizon I can see why when it passes the original you'd get a torus shaped hiccup in space time, but I DONT understand why they middle of the torus is in real space.... AND I still have no idea as to the answers to questions one and two.


Uh huh... OK, thanks for the definition Lintra. I hope to understand this stuff in the afterlife

You can't know that. I might critcally important ... then again, it might not. That is the great thing about unknowables! Much like the Einstienian concept of 'elsewhere'. Elsewhere is a point in time and space that can not be reached from your current location by traveling at the speed of light (in either direction of time .... general relativity (GR) makes no distinction about the polarity of time - it works in either direction). Anyway, those points of information are completely outside of the observer'suniverse and can never be known.
