Black Holes: Internal Space & Matter Movement

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of internal space within black holes and the possibility of it being a complex number and creating an additional dimension. However, the expert summarizer reminds that these are speculative proposals and recommends starting with the Schwarzschild black hole from General Relativity. They also clarify that there is no such thing as internal space and the sign of the spatial coordinate is arbitrary. The conversation ends with a reminder that personal theories cannot be discussed on the platform.

Do black holes have an internal space? Consider the diagram. Inside the negative space, a "bubble" of sealed space, matter is free to move.

Are you familiar with the Schwarzschild black hole from General Relativity? I recommend you start there. At PF we do not discuss speculative proposals.

The effect of a gravity source on space curvature is proportional to sqrt(d) where d is the distance, so if d is negative (internal) space, does it become a complex number and get another dimension? How come nobody's thought of it?

Where are you getting this from?
so if d is negative (internal) space
There's no such thing as internal space, and the sign of the spatial coordinate is arbitrary: I can always "re-zero" my ruler so that all distances are positive.
does it become a complex number and get another dimension?
What do complex numbers have to do with extra dimensions?

Thread locked.
 

1. What is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape its pull. This happens when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own gravity.

2. What is inside a black hole?

Inside a black hole is a singularity, which is a point of infinite density and zero volume. According to our current understanding of physics, all matter and energy that enters a black hole gets compressed into this singularity.

3. Can anything escape from a black hole?

No, nothing can escape from a black hole once it crosses the event horizon, which is the point of no return. This includes light, making black holes invisible to the naked eye.

4. How are black holes detected?

Black holes cannot be directly observed, but their presence can be detected through the effects of their strong gravitational pull on nearby matter. This can be seen through the distortion of light and the motion of nearby objects.

5. Can black holes move?

Yes, black holes can move through space just like any other object, but their movement is determined by the laws of gravity. They can also merge with other black holes, resulting in even larger black holes.
