Could be a couple of things. First, you get notifications after the posts so if you are active on the site you may see a new post and then a bit later get an...
You're right. So let me clarify my question.
Why wouldn't anything caught in the gravitational field of the black hole be traveling at or near the speed of light, relative to the black hole, as it crossed the event horizon?
My next question would be;
Why would any observer, from any...
How can you say with certainty that there is no physical surface beyond the event horizon? That's mostly why I asked the question. I know I veered off with my analogy, but really, how do we know it's not a super compact body? I read somewhere about the interior of neutron stars described as...
A compact star with a horizon appears to me to be the most logical answer for what's inside a black hole. Just a ball of disassociated fundamental particles behaving the way models describe the core of a neutron star.
I was just wondering if there is anything to suggest that black holes are anything but giant neutron stars cloaked in an event horizon created by their own gravity. I mean if a neutron star is just on the cusp of having enough mass to be a black hole, and then gains that mass, what's to say it...
