Could anyone eli5 the idea of a Cauchy horizon, or perhaps the principles of 'space-like' or 'time-like'? This article doesn't mean that much without said understanding, and the wikipedia isn't easy to learn from.
Space-like: you can move in any direction, fack and forth. Time-like: you can only move in one direction. The event horizon is presumed to make space time-like in that you can only have paths...
Space-like: you can move in any direction, fack and forth. Time-like: you can only move in one direction. The event horizon is presumed to make space time-like in that you can only have paths going in one direction, to the center. The center of the hole is your future.
I find the distinction between "Space-like" and "Time-like" really interesting. As a trained psychologist and AI researcher, I've always considered the fact that you can only move in one direction...
I find the distinction between "Space-like" and "Time-like" really interesting. As a trained psychologist and AI researcher, I've always considered the fact that you can only move in one direction in time to be a limitation of our physiology. I strongly believe that time is like any other dimension. That said, I haven't had the chance to read up on the associated theory as much as I'd like.

Oh! Fascinating. Thanks so much!
