    Bending Blackhole
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theoretical implications of bending a black hole's accretion disk and ergosphere into its inner horizon, where the singularity resides. Participants clarify that the ergosphere's shape is strictly determined by the black hole's mass, charge, and rotation, making it impossible to manipulate. Additionally, the accretion disk is likened to the gaseous rings of Saturn, emphasizing its non-solid nature. The conversation highlights the extreme improbability of such an event occurring, quantified as a 0.0000000000000000001 chance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics, specifically the concepts of accretion disks and ergospheres.
  • Familiarity with general relativity and its implications on mass, charge, and rotation of celestial bodies.
  • Knowledge of singularity characteristics within black hole theory.
  • Basic grasp of astrophysical phenomena and their visual representations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of black holes, focusing on the effects of mass, charge, and rotation.
  • Explore the dynamics of accretion disks in astrophysics.
  • Study the implications of general relativity on black hole behavior.
  • Investigate theoretical scenarios involving singularities and their effects on surrounding space-time.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and students of theoretical physics interested in black hole dynamics and the complexities of general relativity.

ok il say this now I am curious what would happen if you were able to bend the accretion disk and the ergosphere so that they bend passed the outer horizon and into the inner horizon were the singularity is located i know this is a 0.0000000000000000001 chance of happening but it would be a sight to behold if it happened

you can't bend the ergosphere (it's completely determined by the mass the charge and the rotation of the black hole)

and the accretion disc is no more solid than the rings of Saturn :smile:
