Black Hole's Event Horizon dia. and Internal Mass dia. relationship.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between a black hole's event horizon diameter and its internal mass diameter. Participants explore the concept that this relationship may vary proportionally to the mass of the black hole. It is established that for a spherically symmetrical black hole, the internal mass is effectively a point, while for a rotating black hole, it forms a circular line. The Pauli exclusion principle is noted as the last known force resisting gravitational collapse, with speculation about potential phenomena at the quark level and the Planck density as a maximum density threshold.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics and general relativity
  • Familiarity with the Pauli exclusion principle
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics, particularly at the quark level
  • Concept of Planck density in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical models describing black hole event horizons
  • Study the implications of the Pauli exclusion principle in astrophysics
  • Explore theories on quark confinement and its effects on black hole mass
  • Investigate the concept of Planck density and its relevance in modern physics
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of theoretical physics interested in black hole dynamics and the fundamental principles governing extreme matter states.

Is there a theory about the relationship, a ratio perhaps, for a Black Hole's event horizon dia. and its actual internal mass dia.? It would seem that there must be a physical mass in there somewhere, of some particular size for a given mass. This ratio may vary proportional to the mass of the Black Hole? Apologies if this is well known and I am still clueless about it.

As far as I know, the internal mass would have no volume; it is effectively a point for a spherically symmetrical black hole and a line forming a circle for a rotating one.
 
It depends on whether an irreducible density state of matter exists. By current knowledge, the Pauli exclusion principle is the last known force resisting the crush of gravity in a superdense mass. There may, however, be something akin to the exclusion principle going on further down at the quark level. This is purely speculative, but a subject of interest in condensed matter studies. My purely speculative vote goes out to the Planck density as maximum possible density of matter. It is unfathomably dense, but yields a finite volume.
