Part 3/5 BBC Science Documentary - The Hawking paradox

[ffletcherr]

I wonder what it'd be like to go through a black hole. Aside from the fact that you'd be stretched, squished and ripped into a billion pieces :p

science is self contradicting

@Cheetree1 Only physics since we can't know everything.

Blackholes are like the garbage men. We need someone to clean up the universe at times.

Since according to Hawking black holes radiate heat and eventually evaporate, wouldn't the radiated heat just be the information being released only in a different state than when it went in?

[TheWayshowerTube]

@possumverde Yeah?? That's the same thing. I mean a bushfire? Smoke goes somewhere right?

[mattos000]

@possumverde yes. mass is just a concentrated form of energy (from e=mc2). so the mass that is sucked into the black hole is radiated out as heat (which is a form of energy) and so no matter would actually be lost. this was my conclusion anyway.

the science of guessing

I swear I lost a set of keys down a black hole, this documentary proves it..The keys just...vanished
