Neutron stars may be bigger than expected, measurement of lead nucleus suggests

Last update I heard on black holes was that the space inside of them increases at the speed of light. That's a hell of a lot of space inside of an event horizon.

I'm still fond of the theory that our universe is in fact inside of a black hole, and that the big bang is 'just' the moment we went supercritical.

One thing I don't understand about naked singularities - if you were inside of one, the lack of an accretion disk would allow you to see out of it, right? Could you detect that you are looking out across an event horizon?

AFAIK the moment you cross an event horizon is not supposed to be significantly different from being just outside of one (at first). Light is one-way within an event horizon though so I imagine that should cause a lot of strange phenomena.

The interesting thing about a naked singularity is you don't have to be "inside" it. You can be next to it but there is no even horizon.
