If anything has infinite mass, it's gravitational field would be infinite, thus eliminating itself, space and time completely. There.

I don't know precisely why what you said is wrong, but I have this serious feeling that it is. Again, I can't explain why, I just feel like there's no reason that anything of infinite mass would destroy time and space together. I don't see a reason.

Technically, nothing would destroy time and space. You see, an infinite mass would not even exist, as it's existence itself would erase everything (including itself), thus making the assumption, that such a mass actually exists, irrelevant.

Okay, I don't see how you're drawing the conclusion that something with infinite mass would destroy time and space. I'm completely aware such an object doesn't exist, that doesn't matter. I don't see any reasoning behind the assumption that such a concept's existence [i]would[/i] destroy time and space. Where is your reasoning behind that?

由realdomdom编辑: 2/8/2013 10:47:06 PMI never said it would destroy space time. And if you understood it that way, i apologize for misleading you. If space was distorted infinetely, every point in space would be at one point in space at the same time and that point wouldn't be anywhere, since you couldn't distinguish points in space, since they're all one, etc. Space would [i]effectively[/i] not exist. At the very least, it would be something else than our current definition of space. Blame my brain.

[quote]He's assuming it'll destroy space and time in their entirety. "Why?" is my question.[/quote] You must have missunderstood me. If we assume current physics are correct and, at the same time, assume something has infinite mass, space and time could not be described/perceived in any way. Actually, you couldn't even assume those two things at the same time. It's very senseless. But if we did, we would find out (theoretically), that nothing would happen in space, thus eliminating time, as it defines itself through change. Even space itself would not be existent as this infinite mass would have bended it infinitely (into oblivion). I really hope you understood my point.

Well, if this object accelerates to reach infinite mass and not just exists out of nowhere, gravity would very well have the time to travel infinitely fast. Besides, an object with infinite mass would be very big now, wouldn't it?
