Do Neutrinos Escape Black Holes Unscathed?

AI Thread Summary
Neutrinos, despite being extremely light, do possess mass, which influences their behavior in the presence of a black hole. The event horizon of a black hole prevents any matter, energy, or information from escaping, including neutrinos. Even if neutrinos were massless, they would still be affected by the curvature of space caused by the black hole. This means they would not pass through the singularity unhindered. The consensus is that neutrinos cannot escape a black hole once they cross the event horizon.

Ok, so we all understand that no matter/nrg/information can escape the event horizon of a black hole (Hawking's theory aside http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040712/full/040712-12.html) What about neutrinos? Since they have, as I understand it, no mass, couldn't they simply pass though the singularitys region unhindered? I'm sure thre's a reason this doesn't work, does anyone know? Thanks!

Actually, it has been pretty firmly established that neutrinos do have mass. However, even without mass, they would still be traveling through space. So if space is curved, they will follow that curve. He has told for neutrinos, photons, or any other thing traveling through normal space.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

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.
