What occupies the space between a black hole's event horizon and the singularity? Stuff hurtling to the singularity? Vacuum?
Actually, nobody really knows. What goes on beyond the event horizon stays beyond the event horizon.arlesterc said:What occupies the space between a black hole's event horizon and the singularity? Stuff hurtling to the singularity? Vacuum?

There's the fuzzball string theory, but I'm not sure if that can be discussed here since it's not considered mainstream.arlesterc said:feel free to give me theories for or against this proposition.
arlesterc said:We can't see into a black hole.
arlesterc said:Whatever is in the black hole can't see us.
arlesterc said:as the surface of a black hole is conjectured to have all the bits in the black hole - in fact is the limit of the bits in the black hole - it seems there is something in the black hole other than vacuum.
A black hole is a region of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. It is formed when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own gravity.
The horizon of a black hole is the point of no return, also known as the event horizon. This is the boundary surrounding the black hole where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape.
The singularity of a black hole is a point of infinite density and zero volume at the center of the black hole. It is where the laws of physics as we know them break down and cannot be predicted.
Between the horizon and singularity, the gravitational pull becomes increasingly stronger. This is where the space and time are so distorted that objects can experience extreme tidal forces and be stretched and torn apart.
No, once an object crosses the horizon of a black hole, it cannot escape. The intense gravity of the black hole will pull the object towards the singularity, where it will be crushed into a point of infinite density.
