I'm just confused, I thought a black hole was where gravity was so strong light could not escape it just starts looping back on itself like a coin in a large funnel, then how could we escape? We would just spiral down the drain? Why would there be a portal?
- YayamiOmate 8y agoIf your drain analogy holds beyond the point of you losing the sightof probe, the matter that goes into drain does not cease to exists, even if for all your practical purposes it does. On the contrary, you can be sure it does reappear somewhere. Also, it's pretty much certain that wherever there appears infinity in physical model you can be sure it's a limitation of the model, not actual physics of the object. We do not observe infiities, even though pretty much every of our models has some. Those would be two basic hunches against stuffing matter into infinity without consequences. Some kind of exit seems natural, the question is how destructive it would be.
- vertline3 8y agoPredicting portals is still far from that though. Like I would be ejected to the other side? And gravity would stop pulling me in? I could see a burst of energy somehow.
- sliken 8y agoIf there were an exit to a blackhole, they would stop gaining mass. If that was true they would all be the same size.
