Q Wild Theory: 5-Dimensional Black Holes Could Break Laws of Physics By Shannon Hall | February 23, 2016 http://www.space.com/32008-five-dimensional-black-holes-theory.html This still from a computer simulation depicts the shape of a theorized five-dimensional black hole, which appears as a ring instead of a sphere. In the simulation, the black-hole ring starts off smooth, but then gives rise to a series of strange bulges. Credit: Pau Figueras, Markus Kunesch, and Saran Tunyasuvunakool Black holes are messy in four dimensions. But add a fifth, and a black hole could shatter the laws of physics, scientists have shown. Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England and Queen Mary University of London have successfully simulated a black hole in five dimensions with a supercomputer. Instead of having a spherical shape, such a black hole resembles a very thin ring, which gives rise to a series of bulges. At first these bulges are connected via puny strings, but as time wears on those strings become thinner, until the bulges break off into their own mini black holes. ... ... UQ
