I can't find the old post from a couple of years back. I was exploring whether matter could escape a black hole if two black holes traveling near the speed of light barely touched. I interpreted the answer as either the black holes simple pass each other or if they reach some close...
Forgive the title.
Long ago I was told that if two black hole traveling rapidly relative to each other "brushed" past each other they'd pull each other in. I find it odd that a massive object traveling near the speed of light would suddenly stop dead in its track.
Instead consider two black...
Thanks. I was trying for a scenario where the person on the outside, before they also fell in, could relay information from the person on the inside. Just my amateur attempt. :-)
One thing I though might have been novel, as far as thought experiments go, was instead of two people falling...
Assume a spherical region of breathable air just under the density needed to form a low density supermassive black hole. Two people float 20 feet apart from each other exchanging small talk. As gravity does its work, the spherical region holding the person closer to the center reaches the...
The is suprising. I presume if they just miss by a Planck's length they can continue on their merry way if they have enough momentum/speed. Is it that only light can escape just outside the event horizon and mass has to be farther away to escape or is it that just the slightest touch drags in...
It has been said that physics still occur inside a black hole, excluding the singularity. It's just that we can't observe the physics. The spin of black hole is measurable. What I want to know is; does the INCREASE in spin as the object gets ever smaller stop increasing at the moment in...
Is it really the case that gravitational waves escape from within the black hole? The acceleration of an electron create an electromagnetic wave but is it "escaping from the body" of the electron? I thought the waves formed by the acceration of an object involved the fields surrounding the...
If the moon was formed by some kind of off center impact with Earth could something similar occur with the collision of two black holes. My naive knowledge is that, except for Hawking radiation, nothing can escape a black hole. If two black holes have a glancing impact at extremely high...
