Life inside black holes

[Dr Mordrid]

Maybe, or maybe these Russkies caught a sale on vodka, but it's an interesting idea....

Synopsis:

Inside the rotating or charged black holes there are bound periodic planetary orbits, which not coming out nor terminated at the central singularity. The stable periodic orbits inside black holes exist even for photons. We call these bound orbits by the orbits of the third kind, following to Chandrasekhar classification for particle orbits in the black hole gravitational field. It is shown that an existence domain for the third kind orbits is a rather spacious, and so there is a place for life inside the supermassive black holes in the galactic nuclei. The advanced civilizations of the third kind (according to Kardashev classification) may inhabit the interiors of supermassive black holes, being invisible from the outside and basking as in the light of the central singularity and the orbital photons.

This black hole stuff is something I really cannot grasp... I can understand it is something superdense, but isn't it in essense just an extremely dense lump of matter? If so, why is it attrbituted all those weird properties... just because it has the ability to bend light?

Maybe they just got the DVD of "The Black Hole", Disneys late 70's film.
Saw it at the flicks when it came out iirc.

A "black hole" is what you get if you try to express the universe Mathematically and then try and divide by zero.

Jokes asside, the reality is that no one knows.

The current ideas build only on earlier ideas based on assumptions made based on fact that they think they saw something that is an anomally according to their ideas on how the universe works...

you're right Doc, I think the Russkies had a bit too much Vodka. There is no way a black hole can sustain life inside.

Cool you have been in one so you know?...

Its obvously not going to be carbon based...probably not even contains atoms as we know them. But they do exist for billions of years are stable in some way, so why not.

Not something we will be able to prove either way for the forseeable future but a nice thought experimant from some people who have done and know the math...
