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

[N0help4u]

Nobody knows. If someone tried to find out they wouldn't be able to come back to tell us where they go.

[Goldenwolf]

That was a fast answer

[Fr_Chuck]

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.

[Goldenwolf]

Hahahaha lol

[Goldenwolf]

What about Einstein? He needed black holes to prove his theory, because light bended and stuff where the black hole was

[belsammael]

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... :)

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.
.
There is no reason - nor is there any theoretical support - for the assumption that a black hole provides passage to some other place (for instance by being connected to a "white hole"). Only the "Captain Kirks" under us normal human beings use black holes as shortcuts to other places.
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.
:rolleyes:

That is just one way to make them. At Cern they expect to make (small) black holes also.
But as small black holes tend to grow to big black holes, all our hope should be on Stephen Hawkins who predicted that ultra small black holes will evaporate. Let's hope he is right on that !
:rolleyes:

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 :\

[lalla1995]

Many scientist were say that black hole take any object to the another side of the universe but in small particle.

Do you have a source for this?

Theoretically our entire universe will eventually be nothing but black holes. When that happens the black holes will start to swallow each other and make even bigger black holes, maybe leading to another big bang?!

[tiamokiss]

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."

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

I meant to address that... :p

I thought the only thing that determined the size of a black hole is the amount of matter it consumes. It basically never ending, drawing everything in its gravitational field toward it. If it can consume our entire solar system it's a matter of time before it is consumed by another black whole or consumes a black hole. becoming massive. 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.

Of course there are some black holes that are more massive than any other known object. These are often the super massive black holes found at the center of large galaxies - and seem to have some important role in the formation of the galaxy (or vice versa).
