if the weight of a mass is drawing everthing towards it which direction is it pulling towards?

Question

a black hole as weve seen demonstraighted is making an unhesatating plunge downward why isnt it going in all direction similtainiously?

Answer 1

A black hole is the remain of a star which has become extremely small with an enormous mass. Therefore its gravity is also extremely high, and the black hole draws everything around it into its body. The attracted mass becomes part of the original mass, and, thus, the gravity of the black hole increases steadily. As yo know, the name black hole comes from the fact that its gravity is so high that the mass retains even the photons, i. e., the particles of light, for which reason the black hole cannot be seen.

Answer 2

I believe that you are talking about one of those diagrams that shows a cone of spiraling gas going toward a black hole. This actually is happening around the black hole. But the gas will spiral down like that if the black hole is pulling gas from a star, just like water going down a drain sucks in tooth paste or other stuff. Basically it is for simplicity.

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but let's see if this helps.

First, the concept of down is established by a gravitational field, and its orientation is directed towards the center of the mass. The gravitational force is directed towards the center of the blackhole in all directions, which means no matter where you are located within the vicinity of the blackhole, you are being pulled directly towards the center, which is "down."

Answer 4

If it was going in all directons simultaneously, it would be more like an explosion, and probably wouldn't be black ('cause light goes in all directions)

Answer 5

the middle

Answer 6

It's stationary!

Answer 7

downwards...
