I don’t fully understand it, but I believe the way to think about it is that: we never “see” something fall into a black hole. But the photons from the “last moment we see” get so redshifted they’re essentially invisible. Therefore from a reasonable distance it “looks” like the object disappeared and the event horizon grew in size.
Here’s a video, he talks about the redshift around the 8 minute mark. https://youtu.be/vNaEBbFbvcY https://youtu.be/vNaEBbFbvcY
- boringg 5y agoI believe black holes actually emit jets of light and energy though.
- samus 5y agoThese jets don't come from the black hole, but from the accretion disk. Unless you are talking about a so-called White Hole...
- boringg 5y agoThanks for the clarification. I misread the details of how the particles escape the blackhole. Which makes much more sense from a physics perspective that it's the accretion disk.
