By showing us how small in space mass can be, black holes continuously generate space.

@tobogganablaze Originally I had this idea: If the universe decreases in density since big bang but its radius is still the same, then a lot of space must be sucked inside space-bending structures like black holes. Also, may be matter has big bang density inside of black holes.

So, black holes are maintainers of constant entropy in a constant radius universe. Thus they must be space generators.

But the radius of the universe is not staying the same, it’s expanding. And entropy isn’t constant, it’s increasing.

@tobogganablaze How can you tell? Maybe we’re shrinking? Maybe entropy isn’t increasing everywhere?

But okay. Somehow everyone settled with constant speed of light so everything must be expanding inevitably.

The expansion of the universe has been confirmed over and over again since it was discovered in 1929, even won the 2011 noble price when they discovered the expansion is accelerating. It’s been basically confirmed over and over again for close to 100 years.

I guess “What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinkng?” would have been a great showerthought. But you really should just leave at that.

Once you’re trying to come up with explanations involving physics buzzwords it just sounds like pseudoscientific gibberish.
