SUMMARY

A perfectly spherical object, hypothetically uniform at the atomic level, cannot withstand the infinite pressure of a black hole without being destroyed. The concept of a perfect sphere lacks practical application due to the inherent weaknesses in materials at atomic scales. Additionally, while such a sphere could theoretically reflect all light, it would not become invisible due to the extreme gravitational effects of a black hole, including tidal forces that act unevenly on the sphere.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics
  • Knowledge of material science at atomic levels
  • Familiarity with gravitational forces and tidal effects
  • Concept of light reflection and visibility in extreme environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of materials under extreme pressure
  • Study the effects of tidal forces near black holes
  • Explore the concept of light behavior in strong gravitational fields
  • Investigate theoretical models of perfect shapes in physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, astrophysicists, material scientists, and anyone interested in the theoretical implications of black holes and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.

Suppose a perfectly spherical sphere were to exist - Pefectly uniform even at the atomic level. Then hypothetically, could this sphere withstand infinite pressure and so travel into a black hole without being destroyed?

There would be no 'weak points' on a perfect sphere causing it to break under the pressure, right?

Also, would this sphere reflect all light and so become invisible?

What about tidal forces? Remember, the forces acting on the sphere will not be directed to the center of the sphere.
