are all laws of physics break only at singularity Or laws of physics break even after event horizon?what is the difference
The discussion revolves around the behavior of physical laws in the context of Kerr black holes, specifically whether laws of physics break down at the event horizon or only at the singularity. Participants explore the implications of general relativity and quantum mechanics in these regions.
Participants express differing views on the validity of physical laws beyond the event horizon, with some asserting that they remain valid while others question this. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the nature of physical laws in these regions.
There are unresolved assumptions regarding the behavior of quantum mechanics and general relativity in extreme gravitational fields, as well as the interpretation of frame-dragging effects in Kerr black holes.
Nabeshin said:The singularity is the point (and it is important to understand that it is a mathematical point -- it has no dimensions) at which density becomes infinite. Clearly, shoving anything into zero volume will produce an infinite density. This is where modern physics begin to have a problem.
The event horizon, on the other hand, is a fictitious radius around the black hole at which not even light would be able to escape in any fashion. This represents a "point of no return" because, as nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape the fate of falling into the black hole beyond this radius.
