SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a young user's inquiry about the behavior of photons near a black hole's event horizon, questioning whether they can escape the gravitational pull. The consensus is that the user's understanding of black holes and Einstein's theory of relativity, specifically E=mc², is flawed. Forum members recommend starting with Newtonian physics to build a foundational understanding before tackling more complex concepts like general relativity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Newtonian physics
  • Familiarity with Einstein's theory of relativity
  • Knowledge of black hole mechanics
  • Concept of the event horizon
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Newton's laws of motion and gravity
  • Explore Einstein's theory of general relativity
  • Research the properties and behavior of black holes
  • Learn about the concept of light speed and its implications in physics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, aspiring physicists, and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of physics, particularly those related to black holes and relativity.

so i had this idea for a while now,
if you would take a black hole, and put a laser next to the event horizon, facing away from the black hole, the gravity from the black hole would pull the photons in right? I was thinking that the force that it takes must be bigger than the power from the photons which are trying to get away, right? My question is if the photons would remain still, or get pulled into the black hole, which is against Einsteins E=mc2, cause the photons would exceed the speed of light right?

p.s. Pleaso no hate on my bad english, i am just 14 and from the Dutch, so yeah

Hi siebe22, welcome to PF. Your English is great, you don't need to worry about that at all. However, your understanding of black holes is all wrong.

I would strongly recommend that you start with standard Newtonian physics before jumping into general relativity. This is a great place to help learn, but we can't miraculously help you skip all of the basics and jump right into advanced physics.
