Speculation About Black Holes

Description
Transcript: The exotic nature of black holes encourages speculation. Could anyone survive a journey into a black hole? Probably not. For a black hole about the mass of the Sun or slightly larger, the tidal forces, say, on a human body or a spacecraft passing through the event horizon would be such as to rip the person or the spacecraft apart. So it’s unlikely a real person could ever survive passage into a black hole. What’s inside the event horizon? The laws of physics give no answer to this, and nobody knows. Even if someone could survive passage into a black hole, they would have passed the information barrier of the event horizon and could not get word out of what was inside. Black holes are pinched off regions of space-time which leads to the speculation that they might connect to other regions of the universe via wormholes. This is pure speculation; there is currently no way of proving the idea that regions inside a black hole connect to other parts of the universe.

Transcript: Any change in a gravitational field or gravitational configuration causes ripples in space time to be emitted. These disturbances which travel at the speed of light are called gravity waves or gravitational radiation. Pulsars slow down slightly in their periods, and this corresponds...

Transcript: If you throw an object up into the air it will eventually slow down and fall back to Earth. The object is losing kinetic energy by trying to climb out through the gravitational field of the Earth. Photons also lose energy as they climb out of the pit of gravity. This effect is...
