Black Hole's Event Horizon dia. and Internal Mass dia. relationship.

In summary, there is currently no known theory or ratio for the relationship between a Black Hole's event horizon diameter and its actual internal mass diameter. There is speculation about the existence of an irreducible density state of matter and the possibility of something akin to the exclusion principle at the quark level. However, this is purely speculative and the maximum possible density of matter is thought to be the Planck density.

Is there a theory about the relationship, a ratio perhaps, for a Black Hole's event horizon dia. and its actual internal mass dia.? It would seem that there must be a physical mass in there somewhere, of some particular size for a given mass. This ratio may vary proportional to the mass of the Black Hole? Apologies if this is well known and I am still clueless about it.

As far as I know, the internal mass would have no volume; it is effectively a point for a spherically symmetrical black hole and a line forming a circle for a rotating one.

It depends on whether an irreducible density state of matter exists. By current knowledge, the Pauli exclusion principle is the last known force resisting the crush of gravity in a superdense mass. There may, however, be something akin to the exclusion principle going on further down at the quark level. This is purely speculative, but a subject of interest in condensed matter studies. My purely speculative vote goes out to the Planck density as maximum possible density of matter. It is unfathomably dense, but yields a finite volume.
 

Related to Black Hole's Event Horizon dia. and Internal Mass dia. relationship.

1. What is the event horizon of a black hole?

The event horizon of a black hole is the point of no return, beyond which nothing, including light, can escape from the intense gravitational pull of the black hole.

2. How is the event horizon related to the diameter of a black hole?

The event horizon of a black hole is directly related to its diameter. The larger the diameter of a black hole, the larger the event horizon and the stronger the gravitational pull.

3. What is the internal mass diameter of a black hole?

The internal mass diameter of a black hole refers to the diameter of the singularity at the center of the black hole, where all the mass is concentrated.

4. How is the internal mass diameter related to the event horizon?

The internal mass diameter of a black hole is directly related to the event horizon. The larger the internal mass diameter, the larger the event horizon and the stronger the gravitational pull.

5. Can the event horizon and internal mass diameter of a black hole change?

Yes, the event horizon and internal mass diameter of a black hole can change over time. This can happen due to the accretion of matter or mergers with other black holes, which can alter the mass and diameter of the black hole.
