May be that's why it sucks to live here.. It's related
hasn't this been a theory for a while now? The event horizon of a black hole keeps information minus one dimension. and the theory goes that our entire universe is just at the edge or a black hole in a 4D universe

Man I really wish we had super fast space travel like star wars...
Yes, we ignore it. Given the size of the universe, if being inside a black implies any conseqences that will ever hurt us, it will be a process that takes billions of years to develop, giving the human race billions of years to either become extinct or solve the problem.
we could acknowledge it as a possibility AND work to better our um.. local frame of reference.
It's just black holes all the way down.

Don't get me wrong, understanding the nature of the universe is valuable and noteworthy. But how would that information meaningfully impact anyone's life or change their behavior or worldview beyond a general awe at the unfathomable mysteries we already have towards space as we've understood it for centuries? Especially in a way that would ne noticeable to this person. Am I meant to stare up at the sky from 8:15 to 8:30 every other night with my mouth agap while I try to wrap my mind around the spacetime bubble we all exist on the surface of? Or can I just eat dinner?
The reason research like this exists is because we don't know what we don't know. Results like these are meant to stoke curiousity so that more research can be done.
So on and so forth until one day you have horseshoe crabs saving millions of lives. But they didn't know that would be the case when they started researching them crabs, function comes after exploration.
