why haven't there been any observations of planets or stars or anything near a black hole's event horizon being distorted?
mathman said:There are no black holes near enough to see individual stars. What has been observed is the high energy emissions resulting from things being speeded up (and ultimately falling in).
Distortion near black holes refers to the bending and warping of space and time caused by the extreme gravitational pull of a black hole. This distortion can affect the movement and behavior of objects and light around the black hole.
Studying the distortion near black holes can help us better understand the fundamental principles of gravity and the nature of space and time. It can also provide insights into the behavior of matter and energy in extreme environments.
We use a variety of scientific methods, including theoretical models, computer simulations, and observations from telescopes and other instruments. These techniques allow us to study the effects of black hole distortion on objects and light, and to make predictions about the behavior of matter and energy near black holes.
Studying the distortion near black holes can have practical applications in fields such as astrophysics, cosmology, and space travel. It can also help us develop new technologies and techniques for observing and studying other phenomena in the universe.
There are many ongoing research efforts in this area, including studies of the gravitational effects on stars and gas clouds near black holes, investigations of the properties of black hole accretion disks, and experiments to test Einstein's theory of general relativity in the extreme environment near black holes.
