This whole posting was in response to the
How to Escape From a Black Hole but since I am new to this scienceblog.com I don't really yet know how this works but.
For those interested in an alternative theory take a look at the site alttheories.com.While its still incomplete and just at its beginnings it has enough there to get you started looking at the idea that black holes may actually be much bigger on the inside than on the outside.I have posted quite a bit on the theory on Usenet in sci.physics so look up the older postings from me Dale Trynor.Not a lot of responses on the theory one way or the other despite the briefly frequent postings and only got the one response claiming the theory had no chance of being right then he went silent.
It looks at the idea that because gravity causes time dilation and that slowing of time i.e. time dilation, can be shown to expand space.It even gives the same predictions as those of inflation theory on the creation of a black hole for hypothetical inside observers.Its to be noted that this theory is testable has no conflicts with observation and even gives some better explanations for other phenomenon's such as gravitational binding energy so if you like Occam's Razor you will also like this theory.
The point is that if space expands both near and inside of a black hole then the theories now hypothesized on them are probably wrong.For example this theory predicts that from the inside of a black hole the original outside takes on the appearance of a white hole but it gets complicated because of the way light pathways would need to get screwed up in such a way that you cant directly travel in a straight line out anymore and the white hole ends up appearing like its in multiple locations inside of our universe.The universe in this alternative theory ends up much bigger than its original hypothetical event horizon could contain.
Why no singularities.
To try and explain this in the simplest way you cant get singularities because of all the extra space that gets created, gets in the way.Soon as you create a black hole you also expand the space.Even event horizons get more like trying to locate the end of the rainbow as you get closer you reach a point where the location end up some place farther away.Had fun with Zenos paradox looking at this idea, what if the arrow and all of its references on length also contracted by 1/2 at the same time the arrow was 1/2 way to its target.
