Where do you end up when you're in a black hole?

Answer 1

You end up ripped apart into your constituent atoms by the tremendous gravity. The atoms orbit the singularity at the center of the black hole.

Answer 2

Short answer... Dead. :(
Long answer below. :)

If you're planning a trip to another universe, via a black hole, be sure to head for the weak sector.
That's the advice of Lior Burko, a University of Utah physicist whose new research shows that travel through a black hole is not theoretically impossible, despite the violent nature of the beasts and the assumption by most theorists that a spacecraft would be pulverized.
Burko says all black holes are not alike.
Here's the conventional view: The invisible pits of gravity have no surface, but rather a spherical "event horizon," which can be several miles across. Once inside the event horizon, light and matter cannot escape -- hence the invisibility. At the center of a black hole is a point called a singularity, where matter is crushed to infinite density. Space and time are infinitely curved. Things are just plain weird.
This view is based on a solution to Einstein's equations of general relativity found by German astrophysicist Karl Schwarzschild, who worked out his math during WWI while stationed at the Russian front. Schwarzschild sent his calculations to Einstein and died shortly thereafter. Theories based on his results have dominated the popular picture of black holes ever since.
"The singularity inside a Schwarzschild black hole is destructive, and any physical object which approaches it is necessarily and unavoidably pulverized by it," Burko explained in an e-mail interview. "Specifically, any such object is infinitely stretched in one direction and infinitely squeezed in two other directions. That is sometimes called 'spaghettification.'"
But some black holes have hybrid structures, theorists have long suspected. The new research shows that the hybrid singularity could contain both strong and weak sectors.
"It would allow the captain to navigate toward the sector where the singularity is weak," Burko said. "Experiencing only finite (and even small) effects (of stretching and squeezing), the spaceship could arrive at the singularity unharmed. While that still does not guarantee a peaceful traversing of the singularity, it keeps the possibility of doing so open. If that traversing becomes possible, it could open a 'tunnel' to another universe."
The highly speculative idea that such a journey might lead to another universe is based on certain solutions, developed in the 1960s, of Einstein's equations about time and space. The solutions allow for the possibility of multiple universes connected by black holes.
Burko arrived at his conclusion through a comprehensive analysis of how long-duration streams of radiation would affect a black hole's structure when falling inward. The results were published in the March 28 issue of the journal Physical Review Letters.
For an interuniversal journey, not just any size of black hole will do.
Stellar black holes, the variety created by the collapse of a star, are no good. Tidal forces -- similar to the effects of the Moon that lift tides on two sides of Earth at once -- "can overwhelm the resistance of our bodies to stresses if the mass of the black hole is small," Burko said.
With a supermassive black hole -- the one at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy would do, he says -- "the situation is much different, and tidal forces just on the boundary of the black hole can be very small, even smaller than on the surface of the Earth."
Other unknowns may thwart the journey. Weak sectors might still be too hazardous for travel, and no one has yet figured out if anything really exists on the "other side."
There is also the problem of getting to the center of the galaxy, a trip across 26,000 light-years that would require a really fast ship or a crew willing to die and spawn more than a few generations en route. Perhaps if they start now, Burko or some other theorist will have some firm answers about their ultimate prospects by the time they get there.

Answer 3

The center of a black hole is a singularity which really can't exist by itself in the universe. So the black hole has an event horizon around the singularity which is the last points in space-time that light can travel away from the hole. A person unlucky enough to fall in who seems to fall forever to his friends who stayed behind and watched (some friends huh?). You would fall into the remainder of the hole but you are not in our universe anymore. Some theorize that the black holes reconnect to the universe via so called white holes so in theory, the matter or energy could come out some place/ some when else where in space-time.

Answer 4

No where. Inside a black hole, all that we ever knew of the universe breaks down.

Answer 5

The short answer is that no one knows. Since we have no information as to what happens inside the event horizon, we can't be absolutely sure. Theory suggests one would be reduced to your constituent particles by the immense gravitational field, but where you would "end up" is a good question.

Answer 6

Discombobulated.

Wormholes are a conjecture, not even considered logical. Whereas, theories are scientific reverse imagineering of what was from observations and measurements of what is, the existence of wormholes is simply a step into science fantasy in order to come up with space travel that overcomes time and the speed of light.

Answer 7

The singularity!

Answer 8

The free clinic

Answer 9

I think you end up in another place and time, you technically don't exist in the universe anymore.

Answer 10

New Jersey....or Philippines
