mhm but most things are only theoretical stuff. We dont know that much about black holes. And White wholes are possible, given the up to date theories, but undetected! And some other stuff is stricly false. For example "its to bad there wouldnt be much time to view". Completely wrong: Due to the time dilation from gravitation your eigentime would get "slower" and "slower" compared to clocks placed outside of gravitation. In fact you would see the end of the universe, the end of all time while falling into the black hole.

For some reason people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote "the essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." We have all heard the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". This phenomenon is illustrated in a common relativity graph with velocity (from stationary to the speed of light) on the horizontal line and dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) on the vertical line. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. The graph shows the squared nature of the phenomenon, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light. General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason. Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. According to Einstein's math, the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated, in other words, in some sublime way that mass is all around us because as the graph shows we are still connected to it.

[@shawns0762]

The greatest mystery in science is the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies (the reason for the theory of dark matter). It was recently discovered that low mass galaxies have normal star rotation rates. This is what relativity would predict because there is an insufficient quantity of mass at the center to achieve relativistic velocities. A fundamental question is "why can't we see light from the galactic center?" the modern answer is because gravitational forces are so strong there that not even light can escape (even though the mass of the photon is 0). Einstein's answer would be because the mass there is dilated relative to an Earth bound observer. A simple way to confirm this would be to calculate the star rotation rates of a large number of galaxies. This would show that all the high mass galaxies would have star rotation rates that defy the known laws of physics and all the low mass galaxies would have predictable star rotation rates.

I never believed blackholes are wormholes, or portals to other dimensions, as they are confined to whichever universe they are located in

[@emadalemad7905]

If there’s an entrance then common sense says there’s also an exit and you can’t say their confined to to their universe cause no one’s been able to actually study the inside of a singularity point it’s a unknown that people as a whole have can’t even begin to understand at least with the level of science

[@BoogieBrando]

​@@emadalemad7905 your common sense has failed you if you consider a black hole to be anything of an 'entrance'. It is a celestial body whose gravitational pull has overcome the atomic forces and crushed itself into a singularity, this solid point is so dense that it produces an immense gravity girl. The origin of the laughable 'white hole' theory originated from someone saying "haha if there's a black hole imagine if there's a white hole lol!" or from someone who has black holes and wormholes mixed up, and that's about as much science white holes have to them.

[@emadalemad7905]

@@BoogieBrando you missed the whole point of my message also that was from awhile ago the main point is we don’t know what’s inside a black hole

[@emadalemad7905]

People can say or act like they know all about it all they want but it’s a simple fact the only thing that can go past a black hole without being crushed is something moving at the speed of light but we can’t do that so we don’t know so no my comment seance didn’t fail me yours failed you because you lacked the knowledge to read the whole comment from months ago and understand the main thing I said is we don’t know
