Hi Nugatory, Why is it that scientists are so certain about the state of the inside of a black hole? If we can not look inside and nothing escapes than how can we possibly know what it is like inside? Maybe all mass is collapsed into a single point, maybe it is spread evenly throughout the...

Hi Ibix, Thanks for your elaborate response. It helps to better understand it. And than you say; 'Fundamentally, of course, the answer lies in the maths.' Has someone ever calculated this? I struggle with imagining and visualizing all this, which, in 3D, I'm actually quiet good at. But I can...

Gentlemen, My apologies. I had already started a thread. And I am reading this only now. I will keep that in mind for the next time though. And fortunately I think I can say that my first post is a little bit in the lining of what you are saying, so I hope this is acceptable. Joey

Agreed, but it was just to show that definitions do not include the term 'high density'. Joey

And there you say it is a meaningless statement. Can you motivate that? Because this is actually the point I was trying to make. That as long as you have enough mass, even at a low density you can still have a black hole. As long as the escape velocity is higher than the speed of light. Now that...

You are right. That was the link. It was actually the first link that showed. A rather simplistic presentation of a black hole compared to Wikipedia, but it got the point across. lol. Anyway, thanks for the guidance. Will start reading shortly. Joey

Hi All, This is my first post, so please bare with me and if I am going all wrong about, please let me know. The definition of a black hole according NASA; 'A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out'. Now I am not challenging this at all...

Hi All, I am Joey. I am from the Netherlands and I am living in Thailand. At 51 I feel like I can come out of the closet. I love physics and astronomy and where the 2 combine it only gets better. However, I am just an average Joe I guess and occasionally I have questions. And the fact that I...
