There is a question I've always wondered about. Could black holes be a gateway to other worlds?

Question

Some might be, but you would never survive the trip without being shielded by a really large amount of negative mass, which itself probably doesn't even exist.

Assuming you did somehow manage to get enough negative mass to make the trip, it's one-way only so you would be forever lost to the universe you came from so you had best get your affairs in order first.

Finally, you don't know what kind of reality is awaiting you on the other side: it could be like ours, be an endless empty void, or a chaotic hellscape with different laws of physics like the warp from 40k. Your odds of ending up on a parallel Earth, or even something resembling habitable are beyond astronomical.

TL;DR even if you succeed you will probably die, and nobody you care about will ever see you again.

The problem with black holes is all of our theories about how physics work start to fall apart. Or we just don't know how to make sense out of the math.

There is very little evidence pertaining to what is on the other side but based off what we know right now it is more likely that a black hole essentially punches through a piece of the fabric of reality itself. What in science is called space-time. Nobody knows what's on the other side, if there's another side or what it might be like there.

It seems there's enough room for speculation that there could be other realities beyond them, but unfortunately even as an idea, it's impossible for anything going in to come out in one piece

Better terminology would be blak sphere. As far as we know, they are spherical in shape. Like a massive dead star that sucks in matter and possibly time as well. Its mass and its gravitational pull steadily increase. As an object approaches, the leading edge or surface is pulled harder than the rest, so it would be stretched , but would eventually flatten as it forms a new surface of the black sphere.

The only gateways that might exist are "worm holes".

Consider it the same as a big whirlpool eccept 10000x bigger, things fade inside it and get destroyed / die.

There is no such a thing as another dimension / other worlds.

This is the issue with todays world as people watch a lot of movies and think it's what actually happening in real life.

Reading and educating is very important when it comes to such things.

ClaircognizantEmpath · Answer

hey, my instincts have always been like a portal.. they taught it sucked things in that never got out... well now things have come back out... energy force has been detected coming out of it... like a charge or a purge? who knows... i imagined them up there like an invisible pac man just munching its way around.. and when you step through one it pops you out into another universe with a billion galaxies... I've also thought its like our universe could of exploded out of one, as in birthed into existence.. maybe when ours collapses the energy will escape through a black hole because energy cannot not be..

normalice · Answer

Worlds? No. Universes, maybe, but it's unlikely. While we don't really know what goes on in a black hole, we know how they are made. And there are no ingredients that would populate a parallel universe or something. Indeed, the energy that continuously holds it together is evidence that that energy is remaining in this universe. Moreover, when we say we don't know what goes on in a black hole what we really mean is we don't have equations for when the progression of time is halted. We do know the core of a black hole is just a lot of iron.

Cice137 · Answer

An interesting and thought provoking book that goes into the physics behind some of this stuff that I really like is called 'Causality, Electromagnetic induction, and gravitation' by Dr. Oleg D. Jefimenko. FYI its VERY math and physics intensive.

jshm2 · Answer

No.

At best, black holes are the ultra "dumping grounds" for matter in the universe. Sort of like where all the universes garbage gets chucked into to get "compressed".

But it all comes down to dark matter's role in all of this. Once we know that, we can know what black and white holes really are.

purplepoppy · Answer

No they just crush you. I invented black holes to deal with the problem of an ever expanding universe that risked tearing itself apart. Black holes act as buttons that pull it together and keeping everything in balance.

worldscolide · Answer

Its entirely possible. Supposedly Black Holes are supposed to have a counterpart called a "White Hole" But its all theoretical because no one can ever get close enough to test said theories. They are also the most dangerous things in the universe. At the heart of every galaxy resides a super massive black hole. In the case of the Milky Way, There are several super massive black holes in its core.

RebelinSteel · Answer

Probably not, however no one really knows. The fact they are extreme gravitational zones points to them not being useable. However technology over next thousand years might change that. It’s 1.6 trillion g's that we have on earth.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

in theory, they can but we wouldn't survive this gravity... so what's the difference?

Icaine702 · Answer

There is a scientific theory that black holes do lead somewhere, and they exit out something they call white holes. Now wheather that’s to another universe, dimension, time and space, or what have you is what we do not know, or if the trip through would be survivable. The general consensus is they would just crush you but that is just a theory as well because we haven’t sent anyone or anything through yet.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Gateways could be where we least expect it & as for a gateway to other worlds within a black hole it’s certainly possible & worth exploring if we have the right technology.

NamerOfStars · Answer

No, unless you count the afterlife. Despite the name, they're not actually holes; they're more like balls.

jahaims · Answer

In theory you can connect two black holes to make a wormhole to travel spacetime. You use them to bend spacetime to cut down travel time. We have no way of manipulating them in a useful way with current technology.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Probably. Or they might just destroy everything that falls inside them

DannyUk2017 · Answer

We will never know! unless one of us makes it Above the Firmament.

strateguy632 · Answer

they can't be, you are thinking of the bridge called wormhole but black differed.

Staximus · Answer

We know approximately jack shit about black holes, but it's reasonable to assume that if stuff goes into a black hole then it must come out or go somewhere, and who knows where that is.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

I don't know but I'd jump into a black hole for science

pethouse · Answer

Everything we know about black holes are based of theories.

Anonymous · Answer

Probably not, but the wormholes most likely are.

Yannae · Answer

A gamble too risky and costly to take.

abc3643 · Answer

Probably not.
