Are Black Holes vortexes or something that take you somewhere else? I just wanted to know where do black holes take you. I know how they're made, (a really giant star collapsed on its on weight) but I wanted to know were they take you, when and who discovered. Thanks
Nobody knows. If someone tried to find out they wouldn't be able to come back to tell us where they go.
That was a fast answer
They take you to the collasped star surface where the weight of the gravity would crush you.
Someone is watching way too much sci fi as to openings to somewhere else.
Hahahaha lol
What about Einstein? He needed black holes to prove his theory, because light bended and stuff where the black hole was
Agreed on the other answers given, however it should be noted that Kerr's solution states:
* The properties of space-time between the two event horizons allow objects to move only towards the singularity.
* But the properties of space-time within the inner event horizon allow objects to move away from the singularity, pass through another set of inner and outer event horizons, and emerge out of the black hole into another universe or another part of this universe without traveling faster than the speed of light.
* Passing through the ring shaped singularity may allow entry to a negative gravity universe.
However all of this is of course theoretical and unproven in any way, and even if proven would prove useless, since anything grasped by said black hole would be distorted and disrupted beyond restoration and usefulness.
What use is an alternate universe if you're dead? ;)
Thanks!
Hmmm : so "heaven" could well be a black hole... :)Quote:

The entrance to a black hole is some form of funnel with the rim being the "event horizon" after which the strength of gravity is so big that all incoming matter and light enters a one-way street inwards, circles faster and faster to the bottom in the center, the black hole itself, where the conditions are as already indicated by others.Quote:

But than : Captain Kirk has "gone where no-one has gone before".
If he or his shipmates ever got there, or ended up as black hole matter is not known, as nobody has "gone where Captain Kirk has gone before", and returned.

That is just one way to make them. At Cern they expect to make (small) black holes also.Quote:

Wow intresting I've always wanted to know more about black holes! I've seen that scary documentary on the Encyclopedia talking about how the wolrd is going to end by earth falling in oe of those black holes! Scary :\Quote:

Do you have a source for this?Quote:

Wow does anybody have a Video documentary for this?
"As they gobble up nearby matter, the black holes generate X-rays, as well as many other forms of light. Other black holes also spew out jets of particles, which a related research project has determined are made up of protons and electrons."Quote:

I was specifically curious about the "takes an object to the other side of the universe" part.Quote:

Not to mention that our galaxy is on a direct collision course with another galaxy possibly adding massive amounts of matter to our solar system. How far am I off?
There's nothing special about black holes. If the Sun were to be replaced by a black hole of the same mass, we wouldn't notice any difference except for the lack of light! They don't suck things in, this is a common misconception - they act exactly like bodies of the same mass which are not black holes. - the gravitational field is not any stronger at the same distance. Anyway the sun is not massive enough to become a black hole - it will eventually shrink to a white dwarf.Quote:

Why does the hubble site say this then??
HubbleSite: Black Holes: Gravity's Relentless Pull interactive: Encyclopedia
Black holes grow in mass by capturing nearby material. Anything that enters the event horizon cannot escape the black hole's gravity. So objects that do not keep a safe distance get swallowed.
Despite their reputation, black holes will not actually suck in objects from large distances. A black hole can only capture objects that come very close to it. They're more like Venus' Flytraps than cosmic vacuum cleaners. For example, imagine replacing the Sun by a black hole of the same mass. Permanent darkness would fall on Earth, but the planets would continue to revolve around the black hole at the same distance and speed as they do now. None of the planets would be sucked into the black hole. Our Earth would be in danger only if it came within some 10 miles of the black hole, much less than the actual distance of Earth from the Sun (a comforting 93 million miles).
The diet of known black holes consists mostly of gas and dust, which fill the otherwise empty space throughout the Universe. Black holes can also consume material torn from nearby stars. In fact, the most massive black holes can swallow stars whole. Black holes can also grow by colliding and merging with other black holes. This growth process is what can reveal the presence of a black hole. As gas falls toward a black hole, it is heated to high temperatures, generating powerful radio waves and X-rays that can be studied by astronomers.
The following pages showcase the supermassive black holes in the centers of two distant galaxies that reveal their presence through their very powerful radio waves and X-rays:
That's precisely what I said.. (I didn't want to cover the event horizon - because it's so small and a little confusing - but I can do if you have any questions!)Quote:

This is all I noticed you saying on that point

Well it's kind of like saying that things that get too close to the sun are swallowed up by it. It's called a collision. Just that the surface of a black hole is defined in a different way.Quote:

Is this a recent development of the past year or so? :confused: I need to go reread some books, I seem to have misconstrued some information.Quote:
