Life in a Black Hole!

So here's another dodgy one …

Russian cosmologist suggests life could exist inside a black hole

Going out on a limb, Russian cosmologist Vyacheslav Dokuchaev, of the Institute for Nuclear Research at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, has speculated in a paper published in arXiv, that due to the very unique conditions that exist past the event horizon in certain (charged and rotating) black holes, life could very possibly exist, and could very well have evolved into advanced civilizations.
…
scientists know that deep inside rotating, charged black holes, past the event horizon (the point where time and space become one) things switch back to what would be considered normal (the Cauchy horizon) at least to the extent that photons can orbit the singularity. And it’s the existence of these photons that leads Dokuchaev to believe that other objects could conceivably exist as well, some of which could possibly harbor life forms; albeit their world would be radically different from what we know due to the presence of dramatic amounts of light from the photons that would also be trapped orbiting the singularity with them, not to mention constantly fluctuating tidal forces and bombardment by other energy sources.

.. another one to add to the Fermi paradox list of explanations as to why we can't find intelligent exo-life !

Tell ya .. some folk are sooo desperate for exo-life to exist !…. There seems to be more hiding places than exposed places !

… ah dunno …. (sigh) ..

There again … we do come from the only naked singularity known to exist don't we ?

(I hate censorship).

Hmmmmm....interesting. Might be possible, you never know.

Gotta remember J.B.S. Haldane's quote "the universe is not only queer, it's queerer than we can even imagine".

One good thing...a civilisation that lived inside a black hole would never run out of abundant energy!!!.

There also might be life outside of our universe, but like beyond the black hole's event horizon, there doesn't seem any possible way to test for it given current physics.

As long as there is liquid water why not? It is totally untestable as you cannot get back after going there. Someone has been smoking too much.
My dog thinks that there is live game (things with fur and or feathers)under the floor. He is a Jack Russell and dives headfirst into the floor and wonders why his head hurts. He repeats this dubious move all day with the same result.
