If light can't escape a black hole how come energy can?

Question

I was told that a black hole shoots out energy in the middle.

How can energy not have any relation to matter if it is possible to convert matter into energy?

Answer 1

black hole is the most efficient and powerful engine in the universe: Somehow, much of the matter falling towards a black hole is instead propelled outward at close to the speed of light – an effect that came as a complete surprise to astronomers. These jets of matter seem to start near the edge of a black hole, and are probably set in motion by the tremendous magnetic fields produced by the spinning black hole. NASA's Constellation-X will probe the interaction between infalling matter, magnetic fields, and black holes, allowing scientists to understand how such powerful rays of matter could be created. matter can be converted to energy by nuclear reactions. hope this helps!

Answer 2

Matter is condensed energy, just like ice is condensed water. You all know the famous equation E=mc^2. That is how mass and energy is related. This relationship is what is sustaining the sun's fusion which give us life but unfortunately is also the basis behind the Nuclear bomb that might due away with us yet.

Technically nothing that goes into a black hole can come back out. What scientists detect is two things. 1) massive x-ray emission generated by matter as it gets near the black hole. The matter speeds up as it "falls" near the black hole and the friction between nearby matter heats up everything until they generate radiation. This is like rubbing your hands together to generate heat. 2) the intense magnetic field also concentrates matter into two jets coming out of the north and south pole

There is a theory by Steven Hawkins that says stuff do come out of black holes. According to quantum mechanics, space is full of virtual particles, a pair of matter-antimatter particle that comes into existence for a breif time before colliding and annihilating each other again. This is technically a violation of the conservation of energy as the pair is created out of the blue but since they cease to exist shortly after they are created the pair is consider to be "virtue" particles and not real particles. So Imagine such a pair forming close to the black hole. One of the pair could get suck into the black hole. Suddenly the one that is left cannot go back to non-existence. Conservation of Energy cannot be violated. Therefore the only conclusion we can have is that the particle that went inside the black hole decreased the black hole’s mass and that mass is transferred to the particle that is now wandering outside the black hole . So the black hold has just admitted a particle.

Answer 3

The black hole does not emit energy.

As matter spirals into a black hole, the intense heat of friction causes the matter to emit xrays and gamma rays. That energy is given off BEFORE the matter actually crosses the event horizon and some escapes the black hole's gravity.

But if the black hole has a strong enough magnetic field, the energy trying to escape finds that the only escape route is at the magnetic poles, where the magnetic field meets itself. So black holes often cause a jet of energy and high-speed particles to be emitted from the hole's magnetic poles.

Answer 4

The energy usually released froma black hole is not released from inside the black hole, only from close by. As the matter and/or energy goes into the hole, it is largely converted into energy, part of which is released and the rest goes on in.

Answer 5

If a black hole could exist it could not radiate anything.
Some scientists believe that a black hole could radiate away it's mass by something called Hawking radiation.
There are some very serious flaws associated with this idea and the flaws relegate the black hole to the realm of a non-viable entity.

Answer 6

Anything falling into a black hole will be accelerated. As matter begins to approach the black hole its speed increases to the point that the matter will begin to radiate energy. Once the matter enters the black hole not even light can escape.

Answer 7

Well, all of this is a matter of theory at this time, as I recall. However, there is a probe being launched which will attempt to gather information on what forces propell matter out of the Black Holes, and at what speeds. If you are serious about wanting to learn more about this, I would stay tuned to your Internet sources of information on Black Holes, and attend each and every meeting of your local Astronomy Club so that you can catch all the latest news.

Answer 8

Misconstruing information. Active galactic nuclei has nothing to do with black holes "shooting" out energy.

Light can't escape. Energy can't escape. Matter can't escape. Nothing can escape.

Answer 9

if you can call a fart energy

Answer 10

Energy is not matter, so it does not respond to gravity. Light however, I believe, is plazma, a type of matter (just like solid, liquid, and gas).
