What happens to space and time at the edge of a Black Hole?

Answer 1

That's a great question, i asked something similar in University a few years ago, and to be truthfully there is not much known, only now have they truly found out that there is a black hole at the center of the Milky way?

Personally i would think time folds at the event horizon of a black hole, that's just a theory but its mine lol.

I be watching this question *time permitting*

Answer 2

A black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.

Also at the edge of a black hole time should appear to slow to a halt, and if the black hole is spinning, the very fabric of space should be twisted, carrying any nearby objects around with it. Scientists can probe this hostile environment by observing nearby matter that spirals in towards the hole. The atoms in the matter emit X-ray light, whose vibrations serve as clocks that can help us precisely measure the flow of time and the distortion of space. This light will be collected by NASA's Constellation-X mission, revealing for the first time what conditions are like at the very edge of a black hole.

Answer 3

The edge of a black hole is determined by what is called the Advent Horizon.
At one edge of the Advent Horizon space and time can be measured in a way that we are familure with, but once you cross the Advent Horizon no one really knows what happens. Einstein’s theory of relativity point to space and time being distorting in such a way that any one crossing the Advent Horizon would be pulled apart by the shear forces of gravity.

Answer 4

while huge stars expend their gasoline, they could crumple in on themselves, springing up an extremely small yet very dense factor. The gravity of it fairly is so stable that easy won't be able to even get away it, inflicting it to look black. at present, no-one is conscious what occurs to remember which gets pulled right into a black hollow. although, Hawking predicts that black holes can decay of kinds and finally will stop to be. it fairly is as a results of the anti-remember created on the black holes adventure horizon being pulled into it, lowering the mass. A white hollow is merely a prediction which states that if issues have become sucked in to black holes, it ought to come out someplace (perhaps an determination universe?) and for desire of a greater useful call those are observed as white holes.

Answer 5

A black hole is an elegant theoretical entity that can't exist
If it could exist it would be a 2 to 3 solar mass body about 3 km in diameter whose surface gravity would be such that the escape velocity would be greater than the speed of light.
I guess you can speculate about what it would be like.
Anything penetrating it's surface would have to be turned to pure energy to cross the event horizon,also,because below the surface all the mass and gravity would be concentrated at the center the escape velocity below the surface would have to be greater than at the surface which is the speed of light.
There is no reason for time to be affected by a black hole any more than any other celestial body.

Answer 6

Time is relative to you and therefore will not stop because of where you are it may for example change relative to someone else say back on Earth.

But as for space Black holes gravity is like nothing else known in physics and no one knows what happens at the point of singularity centre of the black hole one thing is for sure nothing could survive a trip through a black hole with current physics think of the centre of the earth the pressures are too extreme for anything. now imagine this on an infinity scale of pressure mind-boggling.

Answer 7

It becomes distorted. A black hole pulls everything into it, and nothing can escape it, not even light. It is said to compact anything that is pulled into it, "an invisible region of theoretically infinite density". Scientist believe black holes exist even in our own milky way, at the galactic nucleus.

Answer 8

obviously, it will be the end of our galaxy... because black holes are celestial object of such extremely intense gravity that it attracts everything near it and in some instances prevents everything, including light, from escaping.

Answer 9

lol - LOVED the Advent horizon comment...the point at which santa is committed to coming down the chimney!?!?! TY for that!

(fink you meant event horizon huh?)

=P

Answer 10

i doesn't continue. It is distorted much like around any body but so serverely that the "well" is not escapable.
