I've got a black hole in my understanding

[tribdog]

I think I understand that black holes do funny things with time. And it could even be argued that from our frame of reference time stops at the event horizon so we never see it form completely. So when the LHC comes online and starts maybe producing tiny black holes which quickly evaporate into a shower of particles how do we see that happen if in our time the formation never appears to complete?

It is true that black holes can be quite mysterious and difficult to fully comprehend. The concept of time being affected by a black hole is one of the most mind-boggling aspects of these cosmic objects.

From our frame of reference, time does indeed appear to slow down as we approach the event horizon of a black hole. This is due to the immense gravitational pull of the black hole, which causes time to slow down and eventually stop at the event horizon. This means that we would never actually see the formation of a black hole from our perspective.

However, when the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) produces tiny black holes, they are so small and short-lived that they do not have a significant impact on time. These mini black holes quickly evaporate into a shower of particles, and we are able to observe this process from our frame of reference.

It is important to note that the concept of time is relative and can be perceived differently depending on one's frame of reference. While we may not see the formation of a black hole from our perspective, we can still observe its effects and understand its behavior through scientific experiments and observations.

In conclusion, the formation of black holes and their effects on time can be difficult to grasp, but through continued research and exploration, we can continue to expand our understanding of these fascinating cosmic objects.
