January 14, 20251 yr I always thought they did, but they don't. I don't pretend to understand everything in this article but some of you might. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/black-hole-myth-suck/ Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
January 14, 20251 yr Depends on how you define "suck". Outside of a black hole it looks just like any other gravitating body, such as the Earth or the Sun. That means a black hole produces an attractive gravitational field. If you try to stay still, you'll need an engine or it will "suck you in". However, nothing really stays still relative to a star or black hole. And as soon as something moves, it may escape the attraction, just like the Earth doesn't fall into the Sun, and the Moon doesn't fall into the Earth. Peter

This is the most clear explanation i've ever read on black holes! This article learned me a thing or two which i never really understood about black holes, and now i'm finally able to really envision it. Which in turn clears the way for an even deeper level of understanding! If this is the clarity they offer on all subjects i surely check back for other interesting topics that are not totally clear to me. BIG thanks for this!!

How do you go about giving notice to a black hole that's getting sued? The only plausible scenario I can come up with is sending Dog the Bounty Hunter 🤔 Edited January 15, 20251 yr by Mike A photo
