Can anything escape a black hole?

According to Einstein's general theory of relativity
general theory of relativity
General relativity is a theory of gravitation developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915. The theory of general relativity says that the observed gravitational effect between masses results from their warping of spacetime.

, the gravity of a black hole is so intense that nothing can escape it.

Can anything survive a black hole?

Regardless of the explanation, we do know that it is highly unlikely that anyone entering a black hole would survive. Nothing escapes a black hole. Any trip into a black hole would be one way. The gravity is too strong and you could not go back in space and time to return home.

What is the only thing that can escape a black hole?

The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape once it gets too close. However, there is one way to escape a black hole — but only if you're a subatomic particle.

Can something come out of a black hole?

Astronomers recently saw something they'd never seen before while peering at a black hole some 800 million light-years away: X-ray light emissions coming from directly behind the black hole at the center of a distant galaxy. The findings were reported in a new study published Wednesday in the British journal Nature.

Does time stop in a black hole?

Time does stop at the event horizon of a black hole, but only as seen by someone outside the black hole. This is because any physical signal will get infinitely redshifted at the event horizon, thus never reaching the outside observer. Someone falling into a black hole, however, would not see time stop.

What did NASA see coming out of a black hole?

Astronomers had earlier found that “pressure waves” sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas. Astronomers found that they could translate those ripples into a note of sound. But the note was at a very low range that humans cannot hear.

Has anyone got lost in a black hole?

Fortunately, this has never happened to anyone — black holes are too far away to pull in any matter from our solar system.

What can destroy a black hole?

Black holes are among the most destructive objects in the universe. Anything that gets too close to a black hole, be it an asteroid, planet, or star, risks being torn apart by its extreme gravitational field. By some accounts, the universe may eventually consist entirely of black holes.

What is a white black hole?

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in the opposite way to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole. White holes were long thought to be a figment of general relativity born from the same equations as their collapsed star brethren, black holes.

Is there a white hole?

White holes cannot exist, since they violate the second law of thermodynamics. General Relativity is time symmetric. It does not know about the second law of thermodynamics, and it does not know about which way cause and effect go.

Can life exist in a black hole?

So planets could potentially form around black holes, but that's no guarantee that they offer a life-friendly environment. On Earth, living things are hugely dependent on the light and warmth from the Sun to survive. Without the glow of a star, life around a black hole would likely need an alternative source of energy.

Can humans turn into black holes?

Interstellar is a little less fiction now.

A human could theoretically safely fall into a black hole if the black hole is large enough and completely isolated.

Can wormholes exist?

In the early days of research on black holes, before they even had that name, physicists did not yet know if these bizarre objects existed in the real world.

Can we create wormholes?

To create a wormhole on Earth, we'd first need a black hole. This is problematic: creating a black hole just a centimetre across would require crushing a mass roughly equal to that of the Earth down to this tiny size. Plus, in the 1960s theorists showed that wormholes would be incredibly unstable.

Do we live in white holes?

There are no known physical circumstances that can lead to the existence of white holes. They are purely hypothetical (due to the math). Though Smolin says that they actually exist on the other side of black holes.

Who destroyed the universe?

9 THANOS. In Marvel: The End, Thanos comes into control of the Heart of the Universe, an energy source so powerful that he becomes the universe itself.

Can black holes eat galaxies?

A single Black Hole, even one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, is just too small to eat an entire galaxy.

Is it hot inside a black hole?

A black hole is no place to stay on holiday. Black holes are freezing cold on the inside, but incredibly hot just outside. The internal temperature of a black hole with the mass of our Sun is around one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero.

Has NASA found a black hole?

NASA discovers rapidly growing black hole — a "missing link" connecting the origins of the universe that was hiding in plain sight. It's a question that has plagued astronomers for years: How did supermassive black holes, which can weigh billions of times the mass of the sun, grow so large, so quickly?

Is the Milky Way a black hole?

They saw stars whirling around a dark object at speeds up to a third of the speed of light. Their motions suggested that at the center of the Milky Way was a black hole 4 million times the mass of the Sun. Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez later shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery.

Is there any sound in space?

No, there isn't sound in space.

This is because sound travels through the vibration of particles, and space is a vacuum. On Earth, sound mainly travels to your ears by way of vibrating air molecules, but in near-empty regions of space there are no (or very, very few) particles to vibrate – so no sound.

Can time be bent?

So to answer your question, time does not literally "bend". A massive object modifies the proper time interval around it such that an outside observer would see objects near the mass experience less time and spacetime intervals would have their spatial components modified accordingly.
