Ah, I see (said the blind woman)! I'm getting this (I think), but if (a) dimension(s) exist(s) without a ruler, what's the difference between that and a singularity?
*brainfahrt*! :p |
"Hmm. Tricky." -- Deep Thought.
I should of course read a little more on the subject, but as I understand it a singularity is infinitely dense (like Byers), a condition of the spacetime curvature, erm, disappearing into itself. (But does the matter that disappeared into the singularity still exist?)
Space devoid of matter and energy would be just the opposite, infinitely flat. Or so I understand it.
But yeah, I also understand the perspective that if there's nothing in the universe, it doesn't matter how big it is.
More sparks in the head. Damn you.
This means a trip to the library. Again. :-)
