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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion explores the hypothesis that a black hole may function similarly to a tornado in a vacuum, driven by extreme pressure differentials. The analogy suggests that just as a tornado forms from the interaction of low and high-pressure systems, a black hole's center could be a region where matter is infinitely compressed, potentially leading to conditions of absolute zero and Planck temperature coexisting. The conversation highlights the ongoing scientific inquiry into gravitational singularities and the challenges posed by infinities in mathematical models, particularly in the context of quantum gravity and renormalization techniques.

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.
