Contracting Confusion: black holes and event horizons

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the complexities surrounding black holes and the associated paradoxes, referencing a specific paper on the topic. It emphasizes the risks of approaching black holes, both physically and intellectually, as understanding them can lead to confusion akin to feeling "spaghettified." The authors of the paper propose that some paradoxes may stem from the cosmic censorship hypothesis. The conversation reflects a sense of bewilderment regarding the implications of these theories. Overall, the challenges of comprehending black holes are underscored as a significant concern in astrophysics.

This paper, http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.3055 Black Holes, Firewalls and Chaos from Gravitational Collapse, reminds me why it is risky to get too close to a black hole. The authors suggest some the paradoxes posed by black holes may be a consequence of the cosmic censorship hypothesis. I may have wandered in too close, my brain feels spaghettified.
