I wish they would've talked more about how that can be. I've always understood black holes to have so much gravitational mass that they crush things down on a molecular level. If that's the case then how can we be inside a black hole?

Indeed.

Whenever I start to read Dummies Guide articles to [quantum physics, quantum mechanics, black holes, bending space, etc., etc.), at some point I just hit a mental wall and give up. So I had the same question as you, but I'm sure with a much more clueless face: "Whaaaa??"

I don't understand this stuff either, but the vague impression I have is that the theory is, instead of collapsing into a gravitational singularity, the matter rebounds which forms one side of an Einstein-Rosen bridge, which becomes a new universe. And we'd be in that universe.

I don't really believe in afterlife but if there is I sure hope all this stuff is explained to me when I'm gone. I'd rather it be explained to me now but if I have to wait I guess I will. I've often thought that there's a chance that we're just a speck belonging to some other world. Like does an ant know they're an ant?

Absolutely! I mean, I'm not suicidal or anything, but the thought of living for eternity (or even another fifty years) with a flawed human-like brain/form seems like the very definition of hell to me. Luckily, I don't believe in an afterlife but the two cool things would be if you could have all of your questions answered, and if you could go back and see your life as it ACTUALLY happened, not as you think it did.

Sometimes in my sillier moments, I imagine a conversation with Jesus of Nazareth in which he says, "Yeah, it's amazing how close The Life of Brian was to how it actually happened!"

anticlockwise = counterclockwise.

Anticlockwise is more of a British thing which makes sense given the link is a uk link

I thought so, like I said I’ve never heard that word even in the British shows and articles

Seemed a bit weird

“This decision will either be right or anti-right”

“Do you mean wrong??”

Can confirm we say anticlockwise.

It's not that weird, my antiargument there is that we don't use anti for everything where you'd use counter. E.g. one antipoint, we don't have kitchen antis. That'd be weird.

Right, got to put the antipane on the bed before playing a bit more antistrike.
