where do you go when you get sucked into a black hole?

Question

Because i read somewhere that you get crushed into an atom but then where do you go ...you go to heaven but where does that one small atom go?????

Answer 1

well this is a reall good question i woul seroiosly talk 2 a scientist or teacher and you absolutley would go to heaven or hell and that atom propably follows you or drifts off in space



or just stays in the black hole lol

Answer 2

Most likely you will go splat.

Basically, a black hole is a hunk of matter packed so densely that light cannot escape its gravitational field. As you probably know, you weigh much less on the moon than on earth. This is because the moon has less gravity than the earth. A black hole (of any size) would have *enormous* gravity compared to the earth. In fact, it would likely have enormous gravity when compared to the sun.

Once inside the event horizon, assuming that you survived gravity so strong that light cannot escape, it is difficult to say what you would find. It might simply be a spheroid mass, like a planet or star. Some scientist claim that the universe may be one huge black hole - bounded by the event horizon. If this is true, one could imagine that everything sucked in by the black hole (including you) would be inside a microverse, so to speak - a very small, separate universe.

I hope this helps.

P.S. You do not get "crushed into an atom". You might get crushed into a piece of matter the *size* of an atom.

Answer 3

The current theory is that all black holes have a gravitational singularity in the center. This is the place in a black hole where gravity is infinite, due to so much mass being there. No one really knows what would happen if you were to get sucked into a black hole. In fact, if our current theories of black holes are correct, no one outside a black hole can know. The problem is that as you pass the edge of the black hole, called the event horizon, into the singularity, no signal transmitted by you (for example, by a radio transmitter) can escape from the black hole. Therefore no information from the inside of a black hole has ever been detected by our scientists outside of a black hole.

When matter falls into the event horizon it becomes separated 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 components which will be stretched and squeezed until they to become part of the singularity and increase the size of the black hole accordingly.

And, as to ǝɥʇ ʇɐǝɹƃ oozɐƃ's answer below, there are two sub-theories to Stephen Hawking's idea: one that the black hole just disappearing actually removes information from the universe, and another sub-theory that the black hole just converts the matter inside it into energy and emits it outwards as it disappears from the universe.

Answer 4

Black hole theory is where most physicists fear to tread, because inside a black hole everyone's mathematics falls apart. Truth is, we have lots of ideas on what might happen but nothing one could call a proper theory.

I vote for black holes as a galactic subway system. You go in, and who knows if and where you'll come out.

Answer 5

Theoretically: You wouldn't become an atom, merely the size of one. The atom size remnant would eventually dissipate into nothing.

Answer 6

Well you stay there. There is no heaven.

Hawking says that it is possible for black holes to just disappear. This has caused quite a stir in the Physics world, because it means that the Universe actually can lose information.

Answer 7

Well no one has ever lived through being sucked through the black hole, so being that I guess no one really knows until u personally live that experience..

Answer 8

Since black holes are theory, not fact, and no one has ever been sucked in, you are asking a question that has no true answer.

Answer 9

Oh.. This is interesting.

And to think I was going to say something inappropriate like "Probably to jail if you live in the deep south".

Answer 10

who knows but in the middle of the bermdu triangle they say that there is a black whole and that one leads to i think japan cause on the exact other side of the bermuda triangle is another thing just like it by japan so thats wat i heard
