Actual Physics Paper: Black Holes as Brains-Neural Networks


https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03918

It's way above my paygrade, to decide and decide if this is important?

Speculation on stilts. Black holes almost certainly don't exist.

Hard for me to say. Look at it this way, maybe they are wormholes, etc.

Um, black holes most definitely do exist, they have been verified in several different ways.

Regarding this paper, it looks like it's published in a legit source, and they use the buzzwords appropriately AFAIK. But how the heck can a black hole be considered a memory storage device?

The whole definition of a black hole is that everything can go in, but nothing can come out, even light. So information is "lost" to the black hole, from our perspective. Stephen Hawking has formulated how it can dissipate some of that over long periods of time, but certainly not in a way that humans could ever hope to reliably read and write data to a black hole. Then there are practical matters of time slowing down as you approach the black hole, and of course the effects of gravity, radiation, etc. So at best this is a theoretical mind-experiment and nothing more.

The real question is whether or not a singularity, a point of infinite density, can actually exist. I say NO. The singularity within a black hole is a region where our understanding of physics breaks down, not a place of infinite density.

I remember pouring scorn on the ‘black hole’ concept, only to have Set/AI send me some link to astronomical data showing stars orbiting a point in space in such a way as to be inexplicable in any way other than to posit that the mass attracting them is a black hole.
