Black hole singularities and negative space-time

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the complexities of black hole singularities and negative space-time. It explores the concept of naked singularities, suggesting that they could theoretically allow travel through them, but questions the gravitational forces involved. The user seeks clarity on the nature of negative space and its properties, particularly regarding its relationship with singularities. Additionally, the conversation touches on the impossibility of naked singularities forming in black holes due to energy constraints and the lethal effects of tidal gravity near singularities. Overall, the topic highlights the intriguing yet confusing aspects of black hole physics and space-time curvature.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so astrophysics seems like a good bet?

I'm only fourteen, but I'm incredibly interested in astrophysics, quantum mechanics, black holes and the like.

I've read about naked singularities, that they can occur the black hole's charge is great enough and the two event horizons come close enough, they will disappear and leave the singularity out in the open.
Apparently, it would be possible to travel through the singularity at this point, going by what I've read. I'm wondering, wouldn't the gravitational force crush you? Wouldn't you still get sucked in? What would the singularity look like, would it be invisible?

As for negative space/space-time; I've seen the http://i36.tinypic.com/2v2csk6.gif", what exactly is negative space, is it the space inside of the singularity? What are its properties? Is it possible to get out? Also, what is a negative universe?

What does space and time having infinite curvature mean?

This is confusing.

Black holes are probably unable to get naked singularities - trying to do so would add so much additional energy that their event horizon grows, too.

If we consider practical constraints then tidal gravity will always kill you if you get too close to a singularity - unless something else kills you first.
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
