A Few Arguments About Time and Space
In physics, there is this idea that time is just another dimension. Soli says the more precisely you measure a particle, the less you know about its momentum. And so if you measure particles trajectory in time very, very precisely, then you create the same uncertainty in its energy which allows it to potentially have enough energy to create a black hole. The universe has a mechanism to prevent you from knowing something very precisely, because if you knew it that precisely, it would turn into a black hole and then censor that information. So i sort of like a fundamental limit there,. basically the universe responds by covering things up with black holes.
