Light cannot escape the black hole, that's why the hole is black :P. You can't see the black hole but you can see the matter it is consuming.




Hehe :). I love this stuff tbh lol the way I see it, we got out of the water now we need to get off the land :P. Space exploration is the purpose of the human race

yea this. but... just google black holes all the truths about black holes are just theories

nothing is deffinate.



yea deffantiy..i cant even begin to think where were headed next. to another planet/solar system or just to extinction

only time will tell.

i did physics and math at auckland uni
if ur really interested i could give u a basic rundown one day

Yeah well theories are a good start until not long ago the very existence of black holes was a mere theory :P. We know the main shit about them anyway haha.

Do I need to be able to understand the math to understand what you're talking about? I'm a mathematic failure.

nope
but being able to visualize things helps a shitload

yea we think we know the main shit about them...

heres a quote on how sure ppl think they are.

a theoretical physicist at Columbia University, the hole would not suck you into its vortex. Black holes, contrary to popular belief, are not giant sucking machines.

They only pull in whatever happens to pass directly in front of the hole. If you slip over the border, then you're in trouble. But if you hang just off to the side, if you cruise around the edge, being careful not to get into the danger zone, you will not get sucked in.

That doesn't mean you won't be affected. Albert Einstein's theories say the closer you get to a black hole, the more it will affect you. And thereby hangs a tale.

ppl just dont know. nore will we ever find out the truths. its kinda like aliens. we think there out there . theres more proof about aliens then religon yet we believe in god...



this is why ppl painted pics of jesus so ppl would believe w/o question

Sounds good man Any books you recommend btw? Less to do with the physics side, more to do with the... physical side I guess o_O hehe. Kind of like Sagan's work, the fundamentals.

Ya I knew this, they do not suck, they can't suck because space itself is a vacuum. They have the same effect as a huge mass of well.. anything in space, just heaps of gravity.


I wonder what would happen if you got so close to a black hole that your body started warping and stuff, and you were somehow able to escape from that situation... Would you still be warped? Would you already be dead by that point?

prolly already dead by this ppoint. the grav alone will prolly kill u before u ever reachin the black hole. also there was theories about what they look like inside most said it would be a massive amount of light. so mmuch light......they used a example or sunglasses wouldnt do a thing.

so imo w/o it looks like inside or w/e the grav feels like on the outside. we will never truly know.
