Common Misconceptions Of Black Holes
There are many common misconceptions about black holes whether it is that they destroy matter or that there is no way to ever escape a black hole. Black holes have this wrap on them that all matter that enters their event horizon is never coming out but, that can not be entirely true. The law of conservation states that no matter can be created or destroyed so, matter can not just be destroyed in black holes. In order to truly understand black holes one must first be able to understand event horizons and information paradoxes too. The theories of black holes people once thought were true, may be wrong.
Black holes were originally brought up by Albert Einstein when he came out with his theory of general relativity in 1915. Einstein explains …show more content…
The event horizon can only last as long as the black hole does. While inside an event horizon it is believed that one would be able to see the black hole because one would be looking straight down at the black hole. One cannot see a black hole on the outside because nothing can escape a black hole meaning light cannot be seen outside. However, once one enters the event horizon of a black hole there it is said to have no return. The reason that one could not return after entering the event horizon is because the force of the gravity is so strong that drags them down and nothing can escape that strong pull of gravity. Since there is such a powerful force, if one were to fall down a event horizon by the time that person were able to reach the center of the black hole they would be broken into particles. Imagine it like this, “A person is on a canoe going down Niagara Falls, once they reach a certain point the person can not get back up, while going down the gravity is stronger at the tip of the canoe than the end so, the canoe breaks in half,” (“Stephen Hawking on Black Holes”). That is exactly what would happen to a person falling into a black hole but, by the time they actually got into the black hole they would be so broken up they would look like spaghetti. The only thing is everything people have predicted about event horizons could …show more content…
The theory of information paradoxes was first suggested by Susskind and his coworkers. Straight after the theory was introduced controversy broke out because the theory violated the Quantum theory. It is described in the Quantum that, “Information is never truly lost; nor is it ever truly copied,” (“Black Hole Information Paradox: An Introduction”). The Quantum theory is very important because it is believed to be the law of nature so, something opposing the law of nature is a huge deal. The information paradox breaks both the rules for one it states that the radiation that black holes emit is copied from what enters the black holes. It is also breaking the rule that information is never truly lost because in the theory of information paradoxes it states that, “The information permanently disappears,” (“Black Hole Information Paradox: An Introduction”). Among the science community there is a debate on which theory may be wrong or may need to be expanded upon. Not only does the information paradox contradict with the Quantum theory it also opposes the law of
