Message-ID: <15@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Mon, 17-Dec-84 11:30:10 EST Article-I.D.: decwrl.15 Posted: Mon Dec 17 11:30:10 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 23-Dec-84 06:24:45 EST Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: DEC Engineering Network Lines: 7 There seem to be two essential points of view: 1) the universe is a 4-dimensional "thing" and cannot be a black hole because there is nothing for it to be a b.h.
