Not so fast. Black holes have a singularity in the middle, and an event horizon around them. There is no singularity at the event horizon, and that is all that we can see..
- juloo 6y agoThere might be naked singularities in case of a rapidly rotating black hole. The singularity would have a donut shape and might be outside of the event horizon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_singularity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_singularity Of course, this is very theoretical and we don't actually expect that to exist.
- btilly 6y agoHuh, I thought that naked singularities were thought to not exist. But apparently in 2018 someone found a case where they could. Thanks!
