Mutiverses and parallell universes and white holes, oh my!

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

We all know that Red Dwarf comes across multiverse and parallell universes, but do you believe they really exist? And what about white holes? Do you believe that there is something out there that can spew things out of it, instead of sucking them in? And wormholes?

I believe that Doug and Rob took a lot of their space theories from Professor Stephen Hawking. So, yep! Why not! ^__^

As for white holes, you'd have to believe in black holes. But if the latter exists, the former must, if physics holds across the universe - it's an equal and opposite reaction, after all.

A white hole? So what is it?

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

A white hole is the exact opposite of it's brother, the black hole, with a major difference: Instead of sucking in everything it meets i.e planets, light, stars, space plops, ect, a white hole expels or rejects them. Think of it as a worm hole. What goes into one side, the black side, comes out the white side.

True. Though I've never seen one, I believe in them. The Black holes are out there, waiting to suck you up!

The man that doesn't believe in God, or Heaven? I really hope not. The guy's brilliant, true, bat he's smegged up when it comes to sensible things. I think he's done one too many lines of stardust!

....I think you might have missed the joke ;-)

The theory of White Holes specifically I believe is Hawkings, yes.

I follow Lister's take on Christianity. "Whether you believe that stuff or not, it's about a dude who sacrificed his life for love."

I wasn't directing that comment towards you, Missfibble. And I did get the joke!

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

This convo is getting out of control with all this talk about black holes and white holes!

[jameta4all.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know what a white hole is... I was trying to start a quote-fest.

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

Oh... sorry!

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

I've never seen one before - no-one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole. ;)

A white hole?

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe: a white hole returns it.

(I googled the script.) ;)

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

And outside the name, I think that's the kewl yhing about them.

I would've had to google it too! Gone are the days when I could regurgitate entire chunks of the script at will. Although I was doing a fan fiction reading event where I did Holly's classic intro from the early seasons and then tacked on a comment about how RD fandom had the choice between bestiality and necrophilia way before Twilight did, and I did that from memory. I don't think the audience would've noticed, though.

That joke will never get old. Never.

If you're implying here that there's something wrong with atheism, which is how I'm reading your post, please don't - some members here are atheists, some are not, and we all need to respect each other's beliefs.

[laurenthemself]

I believe in the multiverse theory, yes. And white holes make sense given the existence of black holes.

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

Ok, I don't get it. *sinckers a bit* handbag! I made a funny in my head.... about a head in a handbag!!

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying anything is wrong with atheism. I support a belief of everybody's co-existence. Not believing is just as important as believing. I was just being a bit of a smart arse when I made the comment. And sorry if it was offensive to anyone. Told you I'm a bit of an *Kryten chips in* smmmeeeegggg heeeeeaaaaddddd!

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

I think we crossed the international punchline. It's from a British sketch show but I can't bloody remember which one....

I read Prof Hawking's book A Brief History of Time in Jr High. In High School I had a Physics Teacher give me a college level text book and told me to have fun. I believe in String theory, Black holes, white holes, the multiverse, parallel universes any thing that eventually will be proven correct because of Theoretical Physics. If not for Prof Hawking we wouldn't have "Backwards".

Professor Hawking is also a big fan of Red Dwarf. :-)

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

He would have to be, given his views and all :-) I just wish the rest of the world would open it's eyes and embrace the Dwarf!
