Although we have'nt even reached the speed of light yet....?

Question

Are'nt black holes proof that space is just another barrier that can be broken? Just like the speed of sound and the speed of light? though I doubt that space is a barrier that we dont really want to brake and then be sucked into a black hole; just the fact that it can be broken is proof that it's just another barrier like sound and light, right?

Answer 1

Well, not exacly.

Blacks holes are just the ultimate expression of gravity, where the pull reach a point where you would need to go to light speed just to remain in orbit. Since nothing can be accelerated to that speed, in theory, whatever is at the event horizon is speeding up to nearly light speed, and as a consequence time is slowed down to virtually nothing. So, matter there is frozen in time while travelling at light speed.

So, black holes unfortunately prove nothing yet.

(For the record, and your entertainement, do you know how early a man made object first broke the speed of sound? Try thousands of years ago. The crack of a whip is the sound made when the tip of the whip exceeds Mach one. No kidding.)

Answer 2

Black holes are remnants of the vacuum.

Space is relatively dense when compared to a vacuum. Light-speed would overcome any gravitational forces as a result of friction and gravitational forces exerted on everything in the universe. Electrons would not be able to maintain their orbits and complex matter would cease to exist.

However, in a vacuum where no gravity or friction exists, there is nothing to prevent anything from traveling at light-speed or faster. If we can figure out how to create a vacuum in the direction that we are traveling, the vacuum will provide the propulsion in advance of the movement, instead of behind it, at speeds we don't even imagine at this point. Vacuum-speed can approach instantaneous-speed but, an object cannot be two places at one moment so, instantaneous-speed would never be reached. The size of the vacuum would have to be controlled and kept very small so as to allow the object, (space craft) to equalize it while remaining intact instead of the vacuum overcoming the object causing it to disintegrate.

It would be wise to begin the movement based on an increasingly low pressure system instead of an absolute vacuum where acceleration would be close to immediate.

Since the vacuum would be constantly created by the object, space mass would never fill it and the only choice the vacum would have would be to draw the object into it.

Initially, the relatively high pressure system of space behind the object would provide propulsion but as the object exceeds light-speed (can we call this warp speed to satisfy Captain Kirk and friends), space-mass would not be able to instantaneously equalize the vacuum left behind the object, known laws of physics would be broken, and there would be resulting compressions and explosions behind the object making it appear to be propelled by some rocket power. We complain about sonic booms. The sound of space-mass overwhelming the vacuum created by the object's passage would reverberate even in space. Fortunately, space is empty enough that the pressure created by the sound would not be enough to shatter atmosphere's.

The creaton must have been magnificent but, I am glad that I wasn't there in form. When we are able to do this, we will be fooling around with the forces that caused the creation. We will have to be very careful and never fall asleep at the helm.

We need to stop saying that things are not possible because Einstein said this and Newton said that, etc. in order to move forward.

The vacuum created all movement as we know it.

Answer 3

Black holes don't prove that the speed of light can be broken.

A black hole is a point in space which is so heavy that it sucks everything around it into the same infinitesimal point, including light.

Einstein's theory of relativity explains why we can't exceed the speed of light, although things like wormholes (which can connect two points in space) may make it possible to cover huge distances instantly.

The sound barrier relates to structures being compressed at certain speeds (i.e. the speed of sound).

Answer 4

Theoretically, it is actually impossible for black holes to form since relativity would make the collapsing star collapse slower and slower as it got closer and closer to being an actual black hole. What people are calling black holes are really very dense collapsing objects which, given infinite time, would become true black holes. Supposedly Einstein pointed this out many times, but people today still talk about black holes all the time as if they could form in finite amounts of time, because it sounds more exciting in the press.

Listen to the program in the source. He speaks about black holes somewhere in the middle of the 90 minute long program.

Answer 5

a "black hole" is the remains of a supergiant star that has such a great mass to not even light can escape, but even though they absorb mass of passing objects they do dissipate through hawking radiation, so they never really do fully form.

Einstein's theory of relativity shows that matter can not achieve speed of light (sorry Trekkies), but in theory a wormhole can bend space to make the distance between points shorter. Think of them like taking a piece of paper with a dot on both ends, now fold the paper so the two dots are an inch from each other. now instead of being say 10 inches from each other, they are an inch from each other.

Answer 6

that's not a case of light having reached the "edges" of the universe. As is major to keep in recommendations, the perimeters of the universe were actual once the centre (in the previous the large Bang) and as a effect they're actual the oldest elements of the universe, that signifies that straightforward has left them and is vacationing inwards (both contained in the fashion of light or another electromagnetic ability). previous those edges, if something, isn't something of significance or relevance to us. because they lie previous our universe, the "edges" of which we gained't bypass (with the aid of it being boundless) we, undemanding and understanding can under no circumstances attain them, hence we are able to under no circumstances recognize what's actual there. Why won't be able to we attain the ends of the universe? For the easy reason that they do no longer exist, a minimum of no longer contained in the experience you may imagine. it truly is a broadly-well-known theory (as a theory is each of the conception can at present be) that the universe is "finite yet boundless". What does this advise? nicely, imagine a visual reveal unit of an arbitrary length, with a small dot vacationing upwards, and as quickly because it reaches the properly, travels "by ability of" and looks on the bottom, nonetheless vacationing upwards. The visual reveal unit for sure has a series (and as a effect finite) section that could be increasing or contracting yet can't concurrently exceed or be decrease than itself. besides the undeniable fact that the dot, at the same time as passing the properly "aspect" on the instantaneous unearths itself back on the bottom. So the visual reveal unit (and the universe) is boundless. in spite of everything, that's in straightforward words one view of the universe. there are diverse more effective, each with their own clarification of the nature of the universe and its mechanics. besides the undeniable fact that the ingredient is, at the same time as many theories posit the existence of debris that could make certain the theory, that's not a probability to observe those debris right away, so the suited that a proponent of any such theory can desire for is logical consistency with the guidelines of physics and spoke of phenomena.

Answer 7

What barrier is being broken by a black hole? A black hole doesn't exceed the speed of light, but the gravitiy field it exerts is so great that light itself cannot escape.

Answer 8

u have a point. i think black holes is just a huge hole in the side of space.
like a hole in ur plastic bottle of water
and beyond space, is the real universe, or heaven,or hell, or like what otehr say. An enternal hole of extremely high gravity and total darkness!

Answer 9

Replying to what campbelp said, Yes, you are right. You cannot have true black holes, but then again, you cannot have true thermal equilibrium either. I'm not sure what this has to do with thermodynamics, though...

Answer 10

imagine, how much energy needed to do it, and we are in oil crisis, heat stroke , and ozone hole, .... plenty unbalanced energy use......and one wrong click, the earth return to star dust
