Where does matter go when it goes into a blackhole?

Answer 1

Think of the singularity as a single subatomic particle having a mass equal to everything that falls inside, minus the mass equivalent of the Hawking radiation that the black hole has emitted.

The event horizon prevents us from learning much about the properties of the singularity, since event horizons are primarily a barrier to information. That means we can't learn anything about the singularity by studying the Hawking radiation, which always has a blackbody spectral distribution regardless of the kind of matter that went down the hole.

We might speculate that the singularity is a superheavy boson. Or we might speculate that it transitions between boson and fermion on a time scale commensurate with the Planck time. Or maybe the singularity isn't singular: maybe there's always a boson down there, plus a transitory virtual fermion which exists for quantum spin bookkeeping purposes.

Whatever it is, the event horizon keeps us from discovering. Event horizons are good at that. Our universe has one, too: it's called "the beginning of time."

Answer 2

No one really knows. Although there are many scientific predictions as to where it may go its trully unknown.

Like Doug says it can add to the mass of the blackhole itself.

My opinion on the matter is that since a blackhole is a RIP in the fabric of space and time it leads to another universe, either opposite or "nega"verse type thing, or just possibly another universe on another plane of existence.

Answer 3

In a blackhole, matter doesn't exist. The objects inside a blackhole cause the blackhole to expand, but no mass is inside it. In a blackhole time doesn't exist. So if no time is in a blackhole, no mass can be either because mass has time.

Answer 4

I read once that Edward Rayne discribed what happened as:
The Schwarzchild radius describes a property of black holes known as the event horizon. This is the point between space where light can escape from the black hole's gravitational field and the space where it cannot. Although the singularity inside the black hole is infinitely small the black hole would appear to be the size of its event horizon, and to all effects is.

When matter falls into the event horizon it becomes isolated from the rest of space and time and has, effectively, disappeared from the universe that we exist in. Once inside the black hole the matter will be torn apart into its smallest subatomic components which will be stretched and squeezed until they to become part of the singularity and increase the radius of the black hole accordingly.

Interestingly enough it has now been shown, by one Stephen Hawking, that the matter inside a black hole is not completely isolated from the rest of the universe and that given a sufficient length of time black holes will gradually dissolve by radiating away the energy of the matter that they contain.

Answer 5

Matter that we are aware of... came from an infinitesimal tiny particle and then we see all this infinite vastness.

So, read Steven Hawking's information. He won the Nobel Prize on black holes just recently.

Matter compresses to a state in which it was... it simply has no mass any longer. There are other dimensions in space/time and there are other ways in which matter folds in on itself to become something entirely unrecognizable, in which all rules of known physics don't apply... that is the inside of a black hole.

Answer 6

Well, nobody knows for sure, but some say it gets sucked into the middle and is torn apart into pure energy. Some say it goes back out through a "white hole" perhaps into another universe. Sometimes it just gets sucked in and spit out VIA venting.

Answer 7

We should ask first what is a blackhole?

Answer 8

It becomes part of the black hole. Black holes increase in mass and size as they gain matter from other objects.

Answer 9

it gets sucked in there and just stays there forever not able to move. have you ever played a video game with a glitch in it and you get caught in the screen and cant move? its like that

Answer 10

Well it's mind over matter!, If you don't mind it don't matter! That's where it goes!
