Where's the Cream Filling?

Have you ever had an idea or prediction that turned out to be true later on? But when it was found to be true you couldn't brag about it because you had no proof that you said it first.

Well, this doesn't directly relate to the philosophy of technology but I'd like to make a prediction about black holes: they don't have any volume, only surface area! So for all you people out there who whant to know what's in the center.... well I hope you're not dissapointed.

I've had this notion for about 2 years now, and I thought I'd let it out.

Now you may be wondering what this has to do with technology. Well, black holes are the densest things we know of and therefore black holes give us a limit as to how much information can exist per unit volume.

Well about a year after I concieved of the idea above I read an article that explained how the information stored in a black hole is not proportional to the volume but the surface area!

Anyway, my idea is that space is at its densest at the event horizon, beyond that there is nothing. It's like having a balloon where the inside doesn't exist (I know that's difficult to imagine but bear with me).

Now if anyone ever makes the claim that black holes have no volume, just remember who said it first :D
