The black hole, like so many things in life, exists in heather you believe or not.

Just to note: Alpha Centauri A is not a red dwarf; it’s actually a G2V star, just like the Sun.

You are assuming there is another side to look back from but idk why you would assume that

Even if we were to find one we would still lack the ability to travel there. Even traveling to mars is a lengthy journey, just existing the solar system alone is impossible within a normal human lifetime. But we could still discover one and research it which i think is equally cool. The james webb space telescope has a special tool that checks the atmosphere of distant planets which could help them find planets that sustains life. That’s probably the only way to research planets that they deem capable of sustaining life for now atleast

Visiting it is a much bigger problem than finding it

That looks amazing. And so different to the UK and NJ I'm used to. Good luck with the goats.

If a SMBH was large enough, the tidal forces at the event horizon could theoretically be lessened to where you could survive. But things would be really cool way before then.

Edit: this video explains it a little at the 4 minute mark (and is really cool)

He deleted the discussion so in a way, he froze himself in place for eternity. Neat

This guy is PBS!

Thank you 😁

Woah, you just blew my mind. When we get down to quantum levels I'm just bewildered. Excuse my language, but a complete mind f**k.

I thought all black holes spaghettify you? How can you determine whether they would or not

But we really don’t know that because we don’t know what’s behind the event horizon. A supermassive black hole like Sgr A* wouldn’t spagettify you though. You could theoretically pass the event horizon alive

If only beforehand they announced they were testing a large missile launch that would be witnessed by millions they could have avoided this. Speaking of which don't countries usually announce these things to each other beforehand anyway to prevent accidentally triggering worldwide nuclear annihilation? Little careless in my opinion.

I feel this in my bones. RN4L

He didn't deny their existence, he just said he doesn't believe. Einstein himself had the same opinion, despite discovering some of the equations.

And, tbh: since the model says to divide by zero, that's a perfectly fair stance. "Black hole" might be erroneous terminology for these objects that we're now detecting.

I think the model is correct myself, but it is incomplete. We definitely don't have a good idea of what dividing by zero even means.

We can't take experts' theories or pictures of black holes as complete facts. There are so many odd behaviors displayed from the universe on a large scale down to the smallest particle.

Space as real as it is to us seems to have trouble giving us real-time proof. I trust the experts but I don't rule out the possibility that black holes are not what we think they are. They act as a trash bin folder on a desktop
