Ok, Thanks :P Whats the process like in getting a PhD? Do you apply immediately after entering a collage, or do you need a bachelors degree first?

I am a sophomore in High School, and I am considering getting a PhD in astrophysics. Is a PhD worth it? Also, what job opportunities will be available to me? Thanks for any feedback : )

Ok, thanks for the clarity

So there was no initial singularity?

"Before the big bang, scientists believe, the entire vastness of the observable universe, including all of its matter and radiation, was compressed into a hot, dense mass just a few millimeters across." Isn't this describing what the singularity of a black hole is? Black holes spin extremely...

ok, thanks

What happens to the information about the objects falling into the black hole? Are their states somehow contained in the Hawking Radiation, and if so, how? Or is the information scrambled as it passes the EH?

What are black holes made of?

Ok, thanks :P

Yes it would definatly be worth it : ) But in order to reach the singularity of a black hole you must pass the event horizon. The event horizon puts the external universe on an infinite speed to the astronaut. But due to Hawking radiation and dimming cosmic background radiation, the black hole...

So let's say an astronaut was being sucked into a black hole and was able to escape spaghettification and all the death a black hole brings. Since black holes bend space-time itself, the astronaut would experience a differen't time zone than an outside observer (time is relative). The astronaut...
