Well there's that one idea where if you jump inside a singularity you may end up in a slightly different universe. And I think observing singularities without their event horizon may be possible in certain situations (if you peek in during a star's collapse, you can see the universe changing her clothes. Then the universe will hit you with a cosmic string and call you a dumbass.)

Theories are not "correct;" they are "a well-founded heauistic." A theory is a set of general explanations that governs what will most probably happen for a class of phenomena.

Actually the multiverse concept would not even be a hypothesis since it can't be tested and there are not empirical observations to support a multiverse. It'd be a hypothesis only in that sense for someone trying to gather observable data that would support the existence of some such event that it is not a part of our universe (how do you even prove that something is not of our universe if you can observe it from our universe?).

Depends on what "inside" you mean.
A craft that can safely move beyond and through the event horizon? implausible but not impossible.
A craft that can safely move into and through the singularity? a whole lot more improbable and perhaps not possible unless you ignore the the fact that mass requires space. A craft that can bounce the singularity of a black hole off its hull sounds amusing, on the other hand.

A craft that can safely move itself completely into the singularity? Only possible if you figure out how to reduce things from 3D to 1D without a severe lose of functionality - most likely one true impossibility with how we understand our universe to function.

>> No.4193800

That's easy, just throw it near the black hole and it'll get in, in some form. Eventually.

Surviving the travel is another matter. As said naked singularities may be possible but I'm a firm believer in cosmic censorship, mostly because I don't know anywhere near enough physics to fathom what could be beyond.

I was reading an article in Scientific American recently where they were speculating that black holes may not really exist, and that we only have black stars (i.e. no actual singularity; some other composition). It was an interesting read, but as I'm not that knowledgeable in that area all I can do is bring up the subject.

Dark star, you mean.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_star

The problem would be similar: landing on, launching from, moving around; all potentially possible. We do not understand functional methods of putting solid matter exactly on top of existing solid matter so the best we could do is DIG into the dark star ...

>> No.4193865

Could you link it? I'm not really well-read on astronomy either (mostly what I've garnered from the internet) but it should be interesting.

Here's the article on possibility of naked singularities for collapsing large stars, by the way. Pity, I'd have expected more data so I could try to figure out what's going on.

>> No.4193912

Wouldn't that thing collapse upon itself immediately and form a black hole? This "surface escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light" requires the mass to fill a sphere with a radius equal to its Schwarzschild radius, and all such spheres collapse into black holes, no?

I like the idea of fuzzballs, myself.

>> No.4194026

>>4193912
Interesting:
Schwarzschild radius:
r(s) = 2GM / c^2
Escape velocity:
v(e) = sqrt(2GM / r)

v(e)^2 = 2GM / r
r * v(e)^2 = 2GM

r(s) = r * v(e)^ 2 / c^2
If r(s) = r, 1 = v(e)^2 / c^2
v(e)^2 = c^2
v(e) = c
That's assuming I'm using these formulas correctly.

You can also use the definition of the Schwarzschild radius as "where some mass' event horizon would be if it was a black hole" and the definition of event horizon as "the radius around a mass where gravity is too high for light to escape"

If anything is equal to or smaller than its Schwarzschild radius (= event horizon) it collapses. Surface escape velocity equalling or exceeding the speed of light means light cannot escape, hence the surface must be on somewhere on or within the event horizon, hence the mass collapses.

They're saying the same thing in a confusing way I guess.

>> No.4194077 [DELETED]

c is a constant so that cannot be correct, because the escape velocity changes depending on distance (radius). I'm too lazy to figure out what's wrong, though.
