Through a black hole ?

[vekotin]

As I understand, there is a black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Therefore, it is natural to think that you could see a black hole on either side of the galaxy. I wonder, is it the same black hole on either side. And is it at all possible to .think that you could go through the black hole to the other side (supposing that you can survive it) ? If so, would you enter the same universe, and at what time point relative to the time you entered ? This is a bizarre question, but I hope someone could try to answer.

Can you clairify a bit? I do not understand your question.

well, you couldnt go through it to begin with. As long as it is not supported by either electron degeneracy pressure or nuetron degeneracy pressure, a body will form a black hole and nothing can escape it. If your operating outside the rules though, there really is no way of making a well formulated hypothesis.<br />

Based upon Hawkings theory, I thought black holes could extend millions of light years, if not billions so, you could potentially (if at all possible) end up in an alternate universe. That is if I read Hawkings work correctly. Been years since I read his last thesis, which some feel they have debunked, so take it for what it's worth. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><br /><img id="06322a8d-f18d-4ab1-8ea7-150275a4cb53" src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/6/14/06322a8d-f18d-4ab1-8ea7-150275a4cb53.Large.jpg" alt="blog post photo" /></p> </div>

A Black hole isnt a hole at all its a super compressed star that is so dense that its gravity pulls stuff into itself.<br /><br />I dotn see how people can think you can go thru one. The only way I think that would be possible is if you went thru a rupture in space time but the "Black hole" is a ball of very dense star matter its solid .<br /><br />Am I missing something or am I completly off the mark here?<br /><br />A black hole is not a hole, its the compressed core of a star. Its called a black hole because light cannot escape its gravity so we cant see the stars core, we cant see anything but the absence of light. which is black, we can only see it or where it is when it is feeding on matter.<br />Right? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow"> A Black hole isnt a hole at all its a super compressed star that is so dense that its gravity pulls stuff into itself. <br /> </font><br /><br />I wouldn't call it a star at all. It is the remaining gravity of a star that has formed a massive gravity well, and has collapsed into a single point, a singularity. A singularity is an infinitely small point, where gravity becomes infinitely strong and space is infinitely curved. <br /><br />The way I interpret it, is that the term 'infinitely', in this case, is simply used to describe immeasurable circumstances.<br /><br />The gravity of a black hole becomes so strong that it achieves a point where its escape velocity equals the speed of light. So, once light passes beyond the event horizon (the point of no return) it cannot escape out of the black hole's gravitational pull. Many people often think that light is sucked into a black hole like a vaccum. I don't really think this is the case. As light passes beyond the event horizon, it simply cannot escape because it would have to travel faster than itself to escape. The escape velocity of the black hole matches the speed of light, so, light would have to travel against a stream that directly matches its speed, meaning it would have to travel an infinite path to escape the black hole's grasp. <br /><br />Anyways, I've never really thought that black holes were doorways to anywhere else. I simply think they are galactic garbage disposals, anything that goes in is doomed to never return. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.

The black hole follows seperate rules of physics.only Wheeler knows.
