Could a black hole be akin to a tornado in a vacuum?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the analogy between black holes and tornadoes, suggesting that both phenomena may share underlying principles related to pressure systems. It highlights the uncertainty surrounding the nature of black holes, particularly what exists at their centers, where matter is theorized to be infinitely compressed. The idea is presented that extreme conditions within a black hole could lead to the coexistence of absolute zero and Planck temperature, creating significant gravitational forces. The conversation also touches on the challenges scientists face regarding gravitational singularities and the need for a unified theory, such as quantum gravity, to resolve these complexities. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the limits of current understanding and the potential for new insights into black holes.

I'm not well versed in math and have never even been in a physics classroom let alone taken a class. But, I do have a question.

So no one, to my knowledge, knows exactly what's in the center of a black hole or how they really work.

If you look at nature, many situations are simply carbon copies of other situations in other parts of nature. Kinda like the Golden Ratio.

So my question is: Is it possible that a black hole is simply a tornado in a vacuum, albeit a very complex and extreme tornado. In further explanation; a tornado is caused by low pressure and high pressure systems, hot and cold meeting - thus the hot air rises and the cold air rushes into take it's place thus creating a vortex.

Is it possible that the center of a black hole is where matter is so quickly and infinitely compressed that it causes absolute zero and Planck temperature to exist within the same space? Creating the great gravitation force but also causing a type of polarization that keeps these temperatures apart even within such gravity.

Is it possible? No one can say. It is only possible in the sense that since we don't know what CAN happen inside a black hole, we can't say what isn't possible.
 
Many scientists question the physicality of gravitational singularities [points of infinite density] in nature. The appearance of infinities in mathematical models is generally regarded as a defect in theory. For example, infinities routinely appear in quantum theory and are resolved using a technique called renormalization. We are still working on renormalization of gravity - a solution commonly referred to as quantum gravity.
 
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...
