  As a thought experiment this would make me think that : postulate: The universe must be constrained at least when going to the small. And if it is constrained when going to the small it has to be confined when going to the big as well.

  Now one brave soul to proof that.

  Can someone explain the significance of the connection to five-dimensional black holes / "black strings"? To my layman ears that sounds like a entirely theoretical construct that doesn't actually exist. Does/ might it somehow help understanding black holes in our universe better?
