That's the clearest description of how this dimension collapse via gravity thing works that I've ever heard.

I really think we live on the 3D event horizon of a 4D black hole, folks.

Why stopping at four dimensions?

Oh sure. The parent universe could be the 4D event horizon of a 5D hole. It’s holes all the way up. If you draw little heads on them I guess they’re like round turtles so if this is true the turtles people weren’t as far off as we thought.

Since all the event horizons “touch” at N-1 dimensions I wonder if this is isomorphic with certain forms of string theory? Maybe there’s 11 levels of holes?

BTW this isn’t my idea. There’s papers on black hole cosmology. You can make the math work but no way to test it. Yet?

Legs, also little legs.

The people at Gillette are working on five.

That's old news. They solved five a while ago.

I heard they were researching up to 18, but most of the blades were curved and really short.
