what's inside the BLACK HOLE?

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

A black hole has a boundary, known as the event horizon. This is the point where the escape velocity is more than the speed of light. The gravity is just strong enough to prevent even light from escaping. Because nothing can travel faster than light, everything else will get dragged back also.

We cannot see what is inside the event horiz

on of a black hole because light from there can never reach us. Even if we could (manage to) send a robotic probe into the black hole, it could never communicate back to us. From the outside, you can't tell what is inside a black hole apart from its mass and the rotation.

We basically understand what happens outside the black hole as you approach its event horizon, that infamous point of no return. The event horizon is where the escape speed exceeds the speed of light: you’d have to be going faster than light (which is impossible for any bit of matter) to escape the black hole’s gravity.

Inside the event horizon is where physics goes crazy. Calculations suggest that what the fabric of spacetime looks like inside a black hole depends on that particular black hole’s history. It might be turbulent, twisted, or any other number of things. One thing’s for sure, though: the tidal forces would kill you

According to theory, within a black hole there’s something called a singularity. A singularity is what all the matter in a black hole gets crushed into. Some people talk about it as a point of infinite density at the center of the black hole, but that’s probably wrong — true, it’s what classical physics tells us is there, but the singularity is also where classical physics breaks down, so we shouldn’t trust what it says here.
