Black Hole Mystery with Firewalls, Wormholes and more!

Post by MSI »

August 12, 2013: Great article in the NY Times: So Black Holes, those energy sucking things in space:
  • Lets us say for the moment that you find yourself sucked into a black hole.
    • What happens?
    • Are you crushed? flattened? evaporated? burned up?
    • Where does the energy of your existence go to?
    • Where does the energy to make this happen come from?
    • What's up with wormholes?
    • Are they really shortcut secret connections between Black Holes?
    • Do remnants of your existence go to hide in wormholes?
    • Or do your remains simply travel to another black hole?
Of course the real question is when stars and planets and space stuff get sucked into black holes, where does all that stuff go?
(obviously a wee bit bigger problem to hide/explain!)
This and more is discussed in the article.
Enjoy!
