black holes all the way down?
The way things are going, more like we got tossed in an endless trash can. I don’t blame the Vulcans.
Ok yea that makes sense because we’re in hell
So it might be turtles all the way down?
I'm mostly curious how higher dimensioal space could explain (perceived) expansion. Like: maybe we live in a 3d bubble embedded in an n-d space which keeps on collapsing, pouring more and more energy into our "universe"...
Sooooo the expanse was right?
That why our timeline seems to keep radically changing?
I’ve always believed that our entire universe is the inside of a gravastar in a 4D-universe. Our universe is the false vacuum inside it, permanently in superposition. We’re just one of the infinite potential states the wave function of the Bose-Einstein condensate inside could collapse into.
Oh, and gravity as a force would be the result of the 4D gravastar’s centrifugal force as it rotates on 2-axis, and that would be why we can’t figure it out.
At least that’s what I’ve always imagined reality. (Also known as my rambling brain doing its best in the moments between wakefulness and sleep)
Edit: tbh 5D/3-axis makes more sense
You might like this video by PBS Spacetime. I'm not sure how this relates to your centrifugal force idea, but we do actually know a few things about "what gravity is" that are really interesting.
Oh, I’ve seen this before! Although my interpretation is purely spatial and lacks any temporal component aside from the act of rotation itself. So it’s still applicable.

But if this leaves anyone in a philosophical mood, I leave this video on a comic book villain that unpacks into a metaphysical wonderment.
What did they drink?
Go Wildcats!
