What happens in a black hole?

Question

....................

Answer 1

Normally you'd trip or something due to the lack of a light source.

Answer 2

The black holes, I believe, are the product of pulling the very matter you and I and the sun are made of out of nothingness. Everything is trying to settle back down into a state of balance therefore pulling everything back into the black hole like a giant toilet(think how galaxies are spiral) so when matter reaches the black hole it cancels out basically releasing the energy that bound it together. light gets canceled out or "pulled in" but x-rays are present at the event horizon. So every physicist would probably argue a different point, but that's what physicist like to do is argue i've noticed.

Answer 3

If you're the one who took this one way trip, as you descend down towards its center you begin to feel the strength of gravity increase at your feet compared with the gravity at your head.

Will you feel gravity significantly less at your head? Yeah, what happens is that the difference in gravity becomes so great that your body initially stretches a little bit. There's nothing wrong with that sensation, which is what you do every morning when you wake up from bed, get out of bed. But the stretching sensation is unrelenting. And it reaches a point where the strength of the difference in gravity becomes greater than the strength of the bonds or the molecules that hole your flesh together. And the moment that happens, that's it, that's kind of the end of you. You snap into two pieces. It's likely to happen at your midsection, at the base of your spine.

Then those two pieces, they'll begin to feel the same effect as you continue to descend towards the center of the black hole. And they then snap into two pieces and this continues on down. You go from one to two, to four to eight as you approach the center of the black hole.

Not only that. If you can imagine that, it's worse than that because the very fabric of space-which we learned from Einstein is curved due to gravity-in the vicinity of a black hole is like a funnel and so in fact as you fall toward a black hole, you're being funneled through the fabric of space. So you're not only being stretched, you're being extruded like toothpaste through a tube.

The science fiction writer's dream-that you fall in one side and come out the other side. Not until recently, a couple of years ago, Stephen Hawking demonstrated that all the information that falls into a black hole is recoverable information. So in other words, the black hole doesn't lead into someplace else where things exit.

In this case, the best way to think of information is you're composed of a number of electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and such. There's an inventory of your particle composition. Let's just call that information for you. Well it turns out, that if you fall in, all that information remains there inside the black hole, and Hawking was able to demonstrate this mathematically.

People had suggested that once you fall into a black hole, you basically leave this universe and so all bets are off. You're done. But what we've known since the 1970s is that there's such a thing as a Hawking radiation, and this is a kind of an interesting, spooky phenomenon.

You may remember the equation E=mc2, which we all learn in elementary school even before we know what it does, but it's the recipe to exchange a quantity of matter with a quantity of energy and back again.

We don't have daily experience with this equation because things that happen in the life of a human, the conditions of your environment are not such that E= mc2 gets revealed in any measurable way. But if you go to centers of stars, if you go to the big bang, if you go to the very strong gravity field of a black hole, the conditions are just fine for that and so what happens is that the gravity field of a black hole is so intense that particles can pop into existence from the energy of that field. Again this is according to E= mc2. Well this is called Hawking radiation, and this was a profound result because it actually said that black holes can evaporate by this method, that they're not completely black.

You can actually escape a black hole, but it's kind of like cheating. The particle isn't rising up from the center and crossing the black zone and coming into our universe. The way it's happening is the energy field created by the gravity of the black hole and that gravity is created by the matter it's eaten throughout its life. The field produces a particle. And every time the field produces a particle, the black hole weighs less.

That's been known since the 1970s, so a recent result said that if you take the inventory of the particles that issue force from the gravity field and compare it with everything that was eaten throughout the life of a black hole, that it will match one for one. So somehow the gravity field has a memory, has some kind of an understanding has access to the information that we thought was gone forever. And I find that remarkable. But it also said that you can't just go somewhere else in the universe, so it kind of closed the creativity door for science fiction writers.

Answer 4

its a infinitly small point of mass formed by the collapse of a star,. but also sooooo heavy that its gravitational pull, pulls on matter near it, and it collects on the side of the hole like a whirlpool in a drain

matter in the black hole is pretty much destroyed and stretched out TO INFINITY inside it, by a newtonain physical view point.

But what happens to the matter exaclty and where does inifinity go? why does time stop in a black hole.

to answer these questions we need to understand more of quantum physics

people claim that on the "other side" of a black hole is a white hole in a dimension we cannot see, creating a big bang, then stopping only to do it again in a NEW universe / dimension each time.

I think black holes where created with a magnetic monopole, which no longer exists inside the black hole, it to collapsed onto itself


wow. one of the only 4 people here with a decent attempt at answering your question besides saying

geez I have no idea, its has a lot of gravity, you'd trip, go look it up on google......

and I get a thumbs down?

Answer 5

The effects of rotating and charged black holes are more complicated than an non-rotating black hole, but the final result is much the same - the falling object is absorbed (unless rotating black holes really can act as wormholes).

Answer 6

Nobody knows exactly, but it basically has an amazing amount of gravity, so powerful that it literally sucks everything up in its path including light. That's why it's called a 'Black' Hole. I think also due to the tremendous forces involved, all material is crushed and condensed. The stuff it has absorbed could then be deposited anywhere in the Universe, in another dimension for all anyone knows.

Answer 7

there are several theories like going back in time or appearing in zion from the movie matrix(like keanu Reves did), or they even say there's a homeless guy that will r*pe you, but my own personal theory is that you will become superhuman, the first human getting sucked by a blackhole will learn everything about what the black hole has previously sucked (like planets), know all about everything and aquiring superpowers

Answer 8

What would happen to me if I fell into a black hole?
----------------------------------------------------
Let's suppose that you get into your spaceship and point it straight towards the million-solar-mass black hole in the center of our galaxy. (Actually, there's some debate about whether our galaxy contains a central black hole, but let's assume it does for the moment.) Starting from a long way away from the black hole, you just turn off your rockets and coast in. What happens?

At first, you don't feel any gravitational forces at all. Since you're in free fall, every part of your body and your spaceship is being pulled in the same way, and so you feel weightless. (This is exactly the same thing that happens to astronauts in Earth orbit: even though both astronauts and space shuttle are being pulled by the Earth's gravity, they don't feel any gravitational force because everything is being pulled in exactly the same way.) As you get closer and closer to the center of the hole, though, you start to feel "tidal" gravitational forces. Imagine that your feet are closer to the center than your head. The gravitational pull gets stronger as you get closer to the center of the hole, so your feet feel a stronger pull than your head does. As a result you feel "stretched." (This force is called a tidal force because it is exactly like the forces that cause tides on earth.) These tidal forces get more and more intense as you get closer to the center, and eventually they will rip you apart.

For a very large black hole like the one you're falling into, the tidal forces are not really noticeable until you get within about 600,000 kilometers of the center. Note that this is after you've crossed the horizon. If you were falling into a smaller black hole, say one that weighed as much as the Sun, tidal forces would start to make you quite uncomfortable when you were about 6000 kilometers away from the center, and you would have been torn apart by them long before you crossed the horizon. (That's why we decided to let you jump into a big black hole instead of a small one: we wanted you to survive at least until you got inside.)

What do you see as you are falling in? Surprisingly, you don't necessarily see anything particularly interesting. Images of faraway objects may be distorted in strange ways, since the black hole's gravity bends light, but that's about it. In particular, nothing special happens at the moment when you cross the horizon. Even after you've crossed the horizon, you can still see things on the outside: after all, the light from the things on the outside can still reach you. No one on the outside can see you, of course, since the light from you can't escape past the horizon.

How long does the whole process take? Well, of course, it depends on how far away you start from. Let's say you start at rest from a point whose distance from the singularity is ten times the black hole's radius. Then for a million-solar-mass black hole, it takes you about 8 minutes to reach the horizon. Once you've gotten that far, it takes you only another seven seconds to hit the singularity. By the way, this time scales with the size of the black hole, so if you'd jumped into a smaller black hole, your time of death would be that much sooner.

Once you've crossed the horizon, in your remaining seven seconds, you might panic and start to fire your rockets in a desperate attempt to avoid the singularity. Unfortunately, it's hopeless, since the singularity lies in your future, and there's no way to avoid your future. In fact, the harder you fire your rockets, the sooner you hit the singularity. It's best just to sit back and enjoy the ride.
