Can I Survive Moving Into a Black Hole?

In summary, while time may appear to slow down near a black hole, if you were to fall into one, you would experience it as a flash, reaching the center before the black hole evaporates. This process would happen much faster for a stellar mass black hole, while larger black holes could potentially live for billions of years before evaporating.

since we know that black holes give off hawking radiation and slowly evaporates, and time seems to come to a screeching halt near a black hole. if you were to move into a black hole would it evaporate before you reach the very center?

If you fell into a BH time would not slow down for you. In a stellar mass black hole you would have little time to live. Basically you would be shredded and compressed in short order.

It is only a person far outside the black hole watching you who would see you moving in slow-mo. He would not see the last split splat of your life that transpired after you fell thru the horizon. He would only see you as you fell down right to the horizon. And he would see that episode stretched way way out in HIS time. If he kept watching it would seem to him that it took you hours to fall the last little ways to the horizon.

But according to your own pulse and timesense and wristwatch, you would whip thru the horizon and continue falling to the center in a flash.

Meanwhile the hole would have billions and billions more years of life (after it ate you and) before it evaporated.

I highly recommend that you read Neil deGrasse Tyson's book Death by Black Hole.
It will effectively answer this, as well as other questions you might have.
 

1. Can a human survive moving into a black hole?

No, it is not possible for a human to survive moving into a black hole. The extreme gravitational pull of a black hole would stretch and compress the human body, leading to certain death. Additionally, the intense radiation and extreme temperatures near a black hole would also be fatal to humans.

2. Is it possible to survive moving into a black hole with advanced technology?

While there is currently no known technology that could withstand the extreme conditions near a black hole, it is theoretically possible that advanced technology could be developed in the future. However, this is purely speculation and there is currently no evidence to support this idea.

3. What would happen if a spaceship moved into a black hole?

If a spaceship were to move into a black hole, it would be destroyed by the intense gravitational forces. The ship would be stretched and compressed, and any living beings on board would not survive. The ship's materials would also be broken down and ultimately sucked into the singularity at the center of the black hole.

4. Can anything escape from a black hole?

No, nothing can escape from a black hole. The escape velocity, or the speed required to break free from the gravitational pull, is greater than the speed of light. Since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, it is impossible for anything to escape from a black hole once it has passed the event horizon.

5. Are there any theories about surviving a black hole?

There are various theories and hypotheses about potentially surviving a black hole, such as the concept of a wormhole or using advanced technology to manipulate the fabric of space-time. However, these are purely theoretical and have not been proven or tested in any way.
