Wish I could see it as close as possible outside of the Schwarzschild radius.

- pixl97 4y agoEven on a 'quiet' black hole I feel the ergosphere is filled with enough high energy particles traveling near the speed of light that you would quickly turn from an observer into high energy x-rays.
- wincy 4y agoInteresting concept, how close could we get to Sagittarius A* without being melted even if we were in a spaceship that was 100 feet sphere thick sphere of lead? I feel like the distance would be way further than you’d expect.
- not2b 4y agoThere's no shielding against tidal force, which will rip apart anything that gets close enough. It's gravity. It's proportional to the inverse cube of the distance. Get twice as close, eight times as much tidal force trying to pull your head and your feet in opposite directions. Lead won't help.
- hnthrowaway0315 4y agoYeah I guess it doesn't have to be super close. Then sell tickets to zillionaires: a lifetime adventure - date with the black hole! Are you ready for the pull?
