I find relativity and space time a lot more interesting. Can black holes transport life? That's the real question.

Isn't it theorized that the gravitational force of a black hole would either crush or warp physical matter passing through it too much for a living organism to survive?

Edited by The Cellar Door: 4/22/2015 4:40:26 AMBlack holes are not actually holes. It's more like a point on graph type of deal. Getting too close will cause spaghettification (yes that's an actual scientific term). Also, they aren't tunnels. I think the term you may be looking for is "Worm Hole". And no, we wouldn't be able to travel through them either, well at least, probably not. And that's only [i]if[/i] they exist.

You can see the singularity around a 'black hole' so we do have a reason to believe they exist. The rest is all speculation. I do agree that you probably have to be traveling the speed of light to escape a black hole, but hey, we've been wrong before

Edited by The Cellar Door: 4/22/2015 4:55:26 AMI think you have you're terms mixed up, and misunderstood what I said. Black holes [i]are real.[/i] But they aren't actually holes that lead into a different dimension, or whatever the SciFi channel will have most people believe. They are points in space time that are so dense that nothing can directly escape, not even light. They don't lead anywhere. They're just there. Like planet Earth, if you kept flinging shit into it, it wouldn't go anywhere, it would just stay on Earth, kind of like that, but in a much more extreme, much more changing-of-the-shit's-fundamental-properties kind of way, the kind of way that the shit can't get off of it, no matter how hard it tries, even if it's traveling at the speed of light. And it is theorized that eventually the shit will be given off as radiation, this shit radiation is called Hawking Radiation, however, this radiation is [i]not[/i] the same shit. Simply different.

Ahh yes, Worm hole was the term I was looking for. Black holes result from a massive star dying, right?
-
Let's throw some monkeys in them and see if they pop out somewhere.
-
Respect all forms of life, maaan
-
I respect it enough to throw it in a black hole. For science!
-
Ahhh screw it, they gave us aids anyways!
-
We dont know and will never find out.
-
Well that escalated quickly. What makes you so sure?
-
Because lets assume its possible to survive going into/through a black hole, we would have no way to communicate what happened to the person going into it.
-
Assuming that the other end of the black hole is out of range of the radio communication frequencies
-
Which it most like would be. Radio signals travel at light speed. Light speed on the scale of space is incredibly slow. So assuming that going into a black hole popped you up somewhere else. You would never be able to communicate from where you came from.

You're making me sad
-
Yes. I agree that Interstellar was a good movie, but it was completely far fetched.

Edited by Camps: 4/22/2015 1:53:52 PMHaha I was thinking about that a little, but mostly everything I know is from my physics class. (Which isn't much apparently)

The gravity in a black hole is so strong that it can rip apart mile thick rocks. Even if we devise some sort of way to survive that, who says we'll ever come out alive?
