are all laws of physics break only at singularity Or laws of physics break even after event horizon?what is the difference
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.
The laws of physics are fundamental principles that explain the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. They are based on mathematical equations and govern everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies.
The laws of physics apply to black holes just as they do to any other object in the universe. However, the extreme conditions within a black hole, such as its immense gravitational pull and the presence of a singularity, can challenge our understanding of these laws.
The law of gravity states that any two objects with mass will attract each other. In the case of black holes, their immense mass creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape it. This is why black holes are often referred to as "gravity wells."
According to current understanding and the laws of physics, nothing can escape from a black hole once it has passed the event horizon, which is the point of no return. This includes light, making black holes invisible to the naked eye.
The laws of thermodynamics, which govern the transfer of energy in a system, also apply to black holes. For example, the second law states that the total entropy (disorder) of a closed system will never decrease. This applies to black holes as well, as their entropy is directly related to their event horizon and the information it contains.
