So the EH is like the edge of a cliff.. cross it and you can only go one way. But I'm a little confused as to what my understanding of mass is. Take 2 balloons. Fill one with air and one with water to the exact same size. Attach a weight and string of identical proportions to each balloon...
So if a black hole had the same mass as the sun it would be the same size, but the density would be exponentially larger... correct? Also, does the black hole's gravity pull matter towards the event horizon, or is the "outside" of the event horizon the distance from when escape velocity is...
Does a black hole have "shape?"
Today I was watching the Science Channel and a program on the Hubble telescope was on. It was said that pictures of black holes have been taken not by the Hubble, but by another similar device that takes pictures of Gamma and/or X rays.
