There’s a really straightforward way to avoid a parabolic trajectory with a black hole. But data retrieval gets a bit difficult.
More seriously, it floors me how often and consistently people forget that the accretion disk is essentially a partial accelerator and crossing or entering it will probably pulverize you to radioactive dust. Possibly before you could hit the event horizon.
- marcellus23 1y agoNot every black hole has an accretion disk, especially not isolated ones.
- hinkley 1y agoSo the question there is if it’s worth it for us to study a naked singularity. What would it teach us? And how do you get into orbit?
- celticninja 1y agoIs it worth studying? Yes. Yes it most certainly is. Whatever we learn will be new.
- marcellus23 1y agoNaked singularities lack event horizons, not accretion disks. By definition, black holes are not naked singularities.
