Could Black holes forge heavier elements that have yet to be discovered?

The problem of the superheavy elements is not that we can't forge them. Their problem is that they decay very quickly. For example, Oganesson, the heaviest element synthetised until now, has a half li …

Measuring the size and the geometry of Universe

The relative recent WMAP result shows, the Universe seems infinite. However, the "is the Universe infinite" question has a hidden problem: it doesn't matter, how far away can we see, we can't be sure …

Is our Universe inside a black hole?

No. The metrics look very differently. The metrics of the the Universe is determined by the FLRW metrics. Its spacelike sections are planar. The spacelike sections of the spacetime around a Schwarzs …
