Falling into Black Holes (NEWS) - Sixty Symbols

Two new scientific papers look like changing the way we think about event horizons and what happens when you cross one - as Dr Tony Padilla explains. The papers are at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1207.3123.pdf and http://arxiv.org/pdf/1207.4090.pdf

dude its you vs the universe. you would have to be the best hacker EVER.

To assume that I do not have 'sufficient' education to understand black holes simply by judging my replies is insulting and rude - this is why I asked you to reply logically and reasonably.

From my supposed 'insufficient' education, I gathered from you comment that you believe that "you would probably see sheer light" - light is electric-magnetic waves - "seeing sheer light" implies that the light contained in the black hole is in the visible waveband. Would it not be a much shorter wavelength.

I mean mass ofc not size.

If a black hole radiates enough to go down to the size of the sun wouldn't it expand and not be a black hole anymore?

No actual black holes exist in spacetime. From the outside observer, it takes infinite time for something to fall in. For the thing falling in, all spacetime accelerates to an end at the horizon.

That's a really good question. have you PMd Brady about it? I think they should make a video about that

[Niki Bursič]

Get off your high horse and admit you do not understand the physics involved!

[Bob. Just Bob.]

Then what? Steal the singularity's music and movies?
