The Singularity of the Universe

The Singularity of the Universe

As predicted by Einstein’s Relativity when an object (i.e. universe, star, planet, particle, etc.) collapses beyond a certain “point”, known as the Schwarzschild radius (Rs) a gravitational singularity is created followed an event horizon of a black hole. In 1919 Physicist Karl Schwarzschild determined the formula Rs = 2CM/c2 for a gravitational singularity. A gravitational singularity is a super-compacted “mass” in which light cannot escape its surface, thus creating a black hole. For instance, the Schwarzschild radius for the planet Earth is 8.8 mm, the size of a schoolyard (Einstein’s) marble. Thus, you could create a singularity by stuffing the Earth into a marble. What about the singularity parameters for the universe? First, the following are the parameters (Radius, Volume and Density) for the observable universe.

Radius of Universe: R = 4.4 x 10(23)km

Volume of Universe: V = 4 x 10(80)m(3)

Density of Universe: D = 9.9×10(−30) g/cm3 

The singularity parameters for our universe, using the total mass as 3.06 x 10(54) kg (which includes: dark energy, dark matter and baryonic matter) are the following:

Radius of Universe's Singularity: Rs = 4.46 x 10(24)km

Volume of Singularity: Vs = 3.72 x 10(83) m(3)

Density of Singularity: Ds = 8.23 x 10(-27) g/cm(3)

As you can see, based on the calculations it appears as though the singularity parameters (radius and volume) for the universe are greater than the observable universe itself. How can the radius and volume for the singularity of the universe be larger than the universe itself? Remember the example for Earth. There are three possibilities for this anomaly: One, the math is wrong, but I really doubt it. You can also do the numbers. Two, the known universe is much smaller than the actual universe. Three we are living inside a singularity. More to follow....
