black holes?

Question

now,they theorize black holes exist right?that every thing pulled in to them is shrunk to nthing right?that they can be as big as a planet or as small as a pin head,and not even light can go in and come out right?well!!!! just what happens to the atoms, moliculesand other matter?iallways thought that if you sqeezed or spit an atom you got an explosion,like atomic! so why dont we see small or large flashes in space.it would at least prove that they exist,other than in the mind of the "therorist".well i have a few therories of my own, like,time and space sta nd like panes of glass if we can find the right frequincey you will be able to pass from one to another.but alas like the black holes i can not prove this is a truth,but unlike the degreed people,just because i say isay this true it does not make so.thank you for letting this uneducated mind have a say on this or any other matter

Answer 1

We have observed the accretion discs that are associated with immense gravitational pulls, but the objects that are creating them are not visible. This was a method that was proposed since we had never observed a blackhole, nor any of its effects. Guess what? We found the evidence. That's when people started really believing it.

Just a note on the answer above, electrons aren't made up of leptons; they ARE leptons.

Answer 2

A black hole is the collapse of a neutron star; as it collapses in upon itself, it becomes incredibly dense due to its immense gravity to the point that even light can not escape. If one were to be drawn to the threshhold of a black hole, time would slow so that all eternity would pass before one actually succumbed to the force of its gravity and disappeared. However, the black hole's attraction would pull the subject to pieces long before eternity had been reached! When the black hole reaches the point where it is a naked singularity ( a single point of unimaginable density), it may become unstable enabling it at a critical mass to eject a universe -- the Big Bang Theory.

Answer 3

black holes are cool. if a nuclear explosion were to enter a black hole we wouldnt see the 'flashes' because the light would not escape the gravity of the black hole. so it would be sucked into it.

i have read about (but barely understand) the idea of information entering a black hole, that information can not be destroyed. i think it is converted into radiation which is emmitted from the black hole at the point of the event horizion (the point after which light cannot escape the gravity of the black hole.

i like your metaphor about the glass and passing into new frequencies. maybey this is an apt description of how black holes might pass into new dimensions.

i wouldnt dismiss people with degrees as just making stuff up. it is really exceiting and creative feild. i think people like hawkins would be the last people to just dismiss your ideas out of hand because im sure thats how they started just by thinking and imagining things. but i think if you spoke to them theyed have really exceiting answers for your questions that probably go much much deeper than you imagine.

Answer 4

First thing, light can get in, but CANNOT comes out, that is why it is called black holes. Second, everythong is pulled toward the black hole due to its enormous gravity, but, there is one great thing- I read this in my book of physics, there was an example, if somebody would fly in the space shuttle and would be close to the one particular point in the orbit, time would stand still and that man would probably think, that he is moving but so slowly, that he will never get the centre. For the observator outside, shuttle would disappear if he crossed this point.
They, exist, even in the center of our Galaxy is probably black hole. Dip sometimes to Scientific American, they got a lot about it.

Answer 5

I am pretty sure that they are just crushed by the immense gravity of the black hole and dont actually dissapear into nothing. However, if they did explode we wouldnt see it because the photons themselves would be pulled back in and not make it to us. A star has enough gravity to change light's course so a black hole would have no problem with it.

Answer 6

No pun intended but there is a hole in your understanding of matter. Atoms and molecules are not the smallest building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. These electrons protons and neutrons are made up of even smaller building blocks like quarks and leptons.

A current theory that has some math behind it but no real experimental science that I know of is called "String Theory" which says that matter is actually made up of "vibrating strings" so to speak.

We really don't understand anything beyond the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time in which we can do our science experiments but mathematically we've theorized that there are other dimensions that exist. We just can't test them with what we know now.

Black holes stretch the limits of our understanding because we need to know more about these other dimensions. Black holes may transcend into other dimensions, if they do really exist. So you see we don't really know what happens to space and time in a black hole. In fact it's probably wrong to even say "in" a black hole since this assumes three dimensional space.

Back to your original question:
"What happens to the atoms, molecules and other matter?"
They most assuredly break up into their smaller building blocks, be they quarks, leptons or even strings, but they do seem to maintain their property of mass since a black hole is very massive.

Answer 7

We see "bright flashes" in space - spots called quasars that are producing too much energy for what used to be traditional cosmology to account for.

Some have theorized that a quasar is the "dumping ground" of a black hole...

How the stuff gets from point a to point b is another story.

Answer 8

Congratulations! I encourage you to continue to contribute your thoughts and ideas. It is a level playing field here, everyone's opinions are valued. Don't feel intimidated by "real" scientists.

As far as your question is concerned, nodody truly understands black holes. It seems that they are made of extremely dense unstructured matter. By unstructured, I mean the matter is not in the form of atoms or molecules, but rather a cluster of mass.

Keep the ideas flowing.

Answer 9

the light they make wouldnt escape. we can see black places in the sky when examining pictures of the night sky (these are black holes)
the atoms just go into the really intense gravity of the black hole, they might get made into weird compounds under that pressure i don know. but i know the light wouldnt escape.

Answer 10

I really like your theory, is really good.
