what are black holes? the majority of descriptions of them (a singularity hidden inside an event horizon) are most likely wrong. the reason for this is that infalling matter can never actually cross the event horizon within a finite timespan.

whenever an event horizon is created, an impenetrable causal boundary comes into existence. this is normally thought of as a region where no matter can escape, but the actual truth is that no matter can enter. due to the curvature of spacetime around the horizon, objects falling in can only approach it asymptotically.

you can simplistically think of the gravity well outside the event horizon as a flow in space. the deeper you are in the gravity well, the more kinetic energy you would need in order to not be pulled in further. for example, at the point where staying still would require the same amount of kinetic energy as you would have moving at 99.5% light speed in ordinary space, you could describe as a flow of 0.995c. at this level, the relativity factor of spacetime is ~10 (relativity calculator). this means that your spacetime is distorted 10x relative to a distant observer whose relativity factor is ~1.

from your point of view, their clock is ticking 10x faster than yours (they will also be lorentz contracted 10x and blue-shifted). from their point of view, your clock is ticking 10x slower than theirs (also 10x contraction and red-shift).

now, the closer you come to approaching the event horizon, the greater the flow of spacetime and the greater the factor of relativity. there will come a point where a single second that passes for you, would be the same as a trillion years for an outside observer. and it doesn't stop there. since the flow increases all the way to being equal to c at the point of the event horizon, there's no limit to the factor of relativity that can be experienced. so there would theoretically be a point where a second for you would be the same as 10^100 years for an outside observer.

so what this means is that all of the matter that has fallen into the black hole before you, is ahead of you, still falling. from your perspective, the matter ahead of you is all continuously slowing down, contracting, and red-shifting such that it endlessly approaches but never meets the event horizon while appearing to flatten out completely and fade to black.

since there are no reference frames outside the event horizon that allow for matter to approach the horizon in finite time, it's extremely questionable whether matter can even cross it. if the horizon did in fact have its own reference frame, it would be such that all incoming matter crosses it together, at a point in the 'infinite future' relative to the outside. who knows what that would even mean; the only thing that's clear is that an event horizon and what lies beyond somehow transcend space and time.

the dominant, singularity-based view of black holes just doesn't seem plausible when you consider the physics of an event horizon as predicted by the theories of relativity. time-dilation just never allows matter to cross that boundary, only to accumulate around it in a state of endless collapse. when a black hole grows, it's like a bubble, with all new matter collecting along an expanding 2D surface.

the model that seems to best explain the behavior of an event horizon is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetospheric_eternally_collapsing_object which states that 'black holes' are objects in eternal collapse, where no matter has ever crossed the horizon, and therefore have properties that a 'true' black hole couldn't, such as a magnetic field.

what does /sci/ think of a non-singularity black hole model? i've yet to hear a convincing argument that anything at or beyond an event horizon can even exist, but maybe i just haven't heard the right argument yet.

TL;DR what the fuck does any of this mean

From the perspective of the falling matter, it does pass through the event horizon in finite proper time. The falling matter is outside the event horizon as it approaches it. So your entire argument is pretty pointless.

>the dominant, singularity-based view of black holes just doesn't seem plausible when you consider the physics of an event horizon as predicted by the theories of relativity. time-dilation just never allows matter to cross that boundary, only to accumulate around it in a state of endless collapse.
Only from your perspective. If you instead look at it in say, Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates, none of this weirdness occurs.

Further the singularity of the black hole is proven by the fact that changing coordinates cannot make it go away (diffeomorphism invariance), while the apparent singularity of the event horizon does go away.

okay, but when does that happen? the moment that something crosses the event horizon, is a point farther in the future than all outside events! so something can cross the event horizon from its own perspective, but what does that even mean, if it can only do so at the exact same moment as all of the matter in front of it?

>>7411842
nope, you're wrong. matter is in no wayexempt from the effects of relativity. the objects that seem frozen on the edge of the horizon really are there, they're not just a light image. their clocks are ticking that much more slowly relative to you, and relative to you they are really are still there slowing and contracting endlessly.

okay, an object can theoretically cross the horizon in its own proper time, but my point is that time dilation makes sure this never happens from from any outside perspective. nobody outside the horizon will ever witness any matter crossing it. nothing that has 'fallen into' a black hole has actually gotten around to crossing the event horizon. matter that was captured a billion years ago would still be there collapsing just outside the boundary.

Mitra's proof that black holes cannot form is based on two key proofs (i) No trapped surface is formed in general relativistic gravitational collapse and (ii) The world-line of an in-falling test particle, which must be 'Time-like' would tend to be 'Light-like' at the Event Horizon (EH) of an assumed black hole (ds_{EH}^2 \to 0). The physical interpretation of the latter proof is that the 'physical speed' of the test particle as defined by Landau & Lifshitz and all other general relativistic experts would approach the speed of light.[3] In order to avoid this, Crawford and Tereno proposed that the speed of one in-falling particle should be measured by another in-falling observer.[13] If so, the speed of the in-falling test particle could remain sub-luminal everywhere, even at the central singularity. While this could be another definition of 'velocity', Mitra claimed that it has got nothing to with his proof which is independent of the definition of 'velocity' (ds_{EH}^2 \to 0).[4][14] In fact later Crawford too admitted that "it is important to emphasize that the interior structure of realistic black holes has not been satisfactorily determined, and is still open to considerable debate".[15]

i'm not saying to completely ignore their perspective, i'm just saying that from any perspective other than their own, they never ever cross the horizon. so when we're talking about black holes as they exist, we're really talking about a shell of matter collapsed around an event horizon. none of the matter has made it in yet, even though it would seem a quick journey, for all intents and purposes it's frozen in time at the horizon.

would they really see themselves go through without problems when they can only be allowed to cross at the same moment as all the other matter? until the very moment you cross the horizon, none of the matter ahead of you has crossed it either, and would only cross it when you do.

it's true though, nothing has ever gotten around to crossing an event horizon! are you sure you're not privileging a reference frame? it's true in BOTH reference frames that the matter still hasn't made it to the event horizon.
let me repeat that i fully realize that infalling matter *should* cross the horizon in its own relative time frame, but my whole point is that this phenomenon is something that has never, ever happened. what takes a finite amount of time in a horizon-crossing reference frame, actually converges to an *infinite* amount of time in all other reference frames.

>privileging certain reference frames above others

He is not - he describes how the situation looks like from certain reference frames. And it is absolutely true that a distant observer cannot possibly observe something crossing the event horizon - that is evident from the very definition of an event horizon. If you could tell that something has crossed it - you would have to be able to receive information from beyond the horizon - which would render the very idea behind 'event horizon' meaningless.

>are you sure you're not privileging a reference frame?

No. Have you done any Special Relativity? The most salient example there would be the easier to understand Muon decay experiments, basically the time measured in the rest frame of the muon is different to that measured in the rest frame of the earth, which means we observe muons at sea level even though the half life of the muon means that most should have decayed before reaching the surface. It's pretty much the same with what you're describing, two events in two reference frames that seems to lead to contradictory results, however when you transform from one reference frame to the other this contradiction dissappears.

>If you were in a spaceship flying towards the singularity, the apparent horizon would keep receideing from you.

an event horizon isn't an apparent horizon though, it's an absolute horizon. you can't see beyond it no matter how close you get to it, so it would never appear to recede.

>> No.7413910

>>7413895
muon decay is not the same thing as what i'm describing. in your example, the decay process in both reference frames converge to occurring within finite spans of time - while in my example, something that occurs in finite time in one reference frame becomes infinite in another.

let's say a muon is falling into a black hole, but that it's not going to have lived long enough to decay until it crosses the horizon. it's just going to asymptotically approach it forever. the muon will essentially never decay because it never actually comes into contact with the event horizon.
again, i realize that from the muon's perspective it will should reach the boundary in a finite amount of time. BUT from the perspective of anyone who isn't themselves crossing the horizon, the muon will never EVER reach the horizon.

>>7413910
>BUT from the perspective of anyone who isn't themselves crossing the horizon, the muon will never EVER reach the horizon.

Right, and? Let me try and explain what I was trying to say in that post again. Say we have two observers, one in the rest frame of the earth and one in the rest frame of the muon, if these two observers made a measurement of the half life they would get two different results. There is no problem in this, in fact given what we know of relativity we would expect that. Your example is odd, certainly, but it presents no more issue than getting two different results for the half life of the muon.

Like literally glanced at every second line, but OP it is quite possible that each black hole in the universe is independantly responsible for each peice of mass in their vicinity. Which means that the only freely decaying consciousness is in between black holes in the, surprisingly populated, between spaces of these black holes.
Which ontop of being quite a view would also allow for more superhuman attributes to express themselves, which, all I'm saying is, a very possible future for human beings.

and so the muon effectively NEVER decays, except from it's own reference frame, but that's where the paradox lies. two different results for the half life of the muon are perfectly fine because they're both finite values. the disparity between reference frames when matter is falling into a black hole is NOT the same, because the process takes an INFINITE amount of time in any reference frame that doesn't cross the horizon.

there is no matter in existence that has ever crossed an event horizon. that is the point of my argument.

No the point of your argument is that no matter has ever fallen into a black hole from an outside frame, now this isn't wrong, but we could always transform into the rest frame of the particle to see that it has indeed fallen into the black hole, in much the same way our observers can transform the value of the half life into each others respective frames to discover that they are the same value. As for the rest of your post, the same reasoning can be applied even if one value is infinite.

this relativity of time issue has to have a boundary isn't it? when you say depending on the gravitation a second to you will be equal to trillion years for others we have to consider the age of the universe. an immesurably small fraction of a second has passed for any object within a dense gravitational field then.

>from your perspective
I think you are misapplying concepts from special relativity here. In special relativity, for every massive non-accelerating object, there is a unique inertial reference frame in which it is at rest. This no longer works in general relativity. There are no more inertial reference frames anymore, and you have to make things work in arbitrary coordinate systems. In other words, if A and B are lightlike separated, "did A come before B?" is dependent not on the observer but on the arbitary choice of coordinate system.

Do you not see how this nonsensical?

As was already shown to you, it doesn't. You can calculate the finite proper time for a particle to fall in from its perspective. Why do you keep ignoring this?

Not from their own perspective. This is just obviously false bootstrapping.

That's what you're trying to prove, but you're failing. You need to give a reason why the matter is not allowed to go through when from its own perspective it is clearly allowed. So far all you've done is use circular reasoning that isn't even based on facts.

i have acknowledged that they will fall in in their own reference frame. but as far as the entire universe outside of that event horizon is concerned, the matter never makes it in. it approaches it asymptotically - nobody in this universe will ever witness matter crossing an event horizon regardless of the amount of time that's passed.

>As was already shown to you, it doesn't. You can calculate the finite proper time for a particle to fall in from its perspective. Why do you keep ignoring this?

i'm not ignoring this. i'm just pointing out that this fact doesn't reconcile with the fact that this would take an infinite amount of time from a reference frame not entering the horizon. hence no matter has ever crossed one. only by crossing a horizon yourself, would you be able to witness anything else crossing. UNTIL you do that, all matter in the universe is outside of an event horizon.

>That's what you're trying to prove, but you're failing. You need to give a reason why the matter is not allowed to go through when from its own perspective it is clearly allowed. So far all you've done is use circular reasoning that isn't even based on facts.
both reference frames are valid, but you have to recognize the fact that crossing of the horizon simply doesn't occur from an outside frame. the matter WILL cross the horizon, but the timeline for when this will happen from the perspective of the outside universe converges to an infinite point in the future. i'm not saying matter CAN'T cross a horizon, i'm just saying it won't on our time.

i have acknowledged that they will fall in in their own reference frame. but as far as the entire universe outside of that event horizon is concerned, the matter never makes it in. it approaches it asymptotically - nobody in this universe will ever witness matter crossing an event horizon regardless of the amount of time that's passed.

>As was already shown to you, it doesn't. You can calculate the finite proper time for a particle to fall in from its perspective. Why do you keep ignoring this?

i'm not ignoring this. i'm just pointing out that this fact doesn't reconcile with the fact that this would take an infinite amount of time from a reference frame not entering the horizon. hence no matter has ever crossed one. only by crossing a horizon yourself, would you be able to witness anything else crossing. UNTIL you do that, all matter in the universe is outside of an event horizon.

>That's what you're trying to prove, but you're failing. You need to give a reason why the matter is not allowed to go through when from its own perspective it is clearly allowed. So far all you've done is use circular reasoning that isn't even based on facts.
both reference frames are valid, but you have to recognize the fact that crossing of the horizon simply doesn't occur from an outside frame. the matter WILL cross the horizon, but the timeline for when this will happen from the perspective of the outside universe converges to an infinite point in the future. i'm not saying matter CAN'T cross a horizon, i'm just saying it won't on our time.

It reconciles because of relativity.

That's not how physics works. Because we understand relativity, we can get knowledge about matter falling into a black hole without directly seeing it. We can explain exactly why we are seeing what we are seeing and why this also means matter is falling in.

so ... any matter that ever has or ever will start falling into black hole is never going to make it in as long as this universe will be around! you could go any arbitrary distance into the future, and all the matter from however long ago will still be collapsing around the event horizon. it doesn't matter how far into the future you go, it will still be there. if you had the means, you could even pluck out matter that started falling in any arbitrary time in the past.

>we can get knowledge about matter falling into a black hole without directly seeing it.
this is where you're not getting it. you would SEE the matter just outside the event horizon because it's STILL THERE. it's not some sort of light echo or whatever, the physical matter is still there right where you see it.

>so what this means is that all of the matter that has fallen into the black hole before you, is ahead of you, still falling. from your perspective, the matter ahead of you is all continuously slowing down, contracting, and red-shifting such that it endlessly approaches but never meets the event horizon while appearing to flatten out completely and fade to black
>TL;DR what the fuck does any of this mean

Sounds like the picture we get of the universe; mostly red-shifted objects fading away into a black nothingness.

Why does the matter ahead of you never reach the event horizon? Because there's no matter moving through space; each point in space carries a record of every change that's ever occurred within it. Via the proper series of actions, a point or arbitrary collection of points can be returned to any previous - or future - state. An object moving through space is a wave of state changes, and the subjective perception of the observer noting the red-shift and fade into black is itself composed of state changes within the observer - state changes caused by reflection of the observed object's 'state change wave' which arrived at non-instantaneous, relativistic speeds.

Every moment of the object's movement towards the event horizon exists simultaneously, and the moment perceived depends on your position relative to the object. Every point is a hologram, reflecting everything that has ever happened within it, and which will ever happen within it in the future.

So than what creates the wave, if all states exist simultaneously? The observer, who flows through matter along a one dimensional stream, and looks at each point in the stream from the perspective needed to produce the expected chain of causality - which can't be violated because the universe is deterministic. Every state is already determined - the observer simply chooses between predetermined states.

i was talking about the reference frame of the universe outside the event horizon here, though i should have been more clear on that.

neither of you dispute the fact that matter approaches asymptotically from any outer perspective, so i'm not really sure what you're not getting about the fact that the matter will always be outside the event horizon from an outer reference frame. it's not just an illusion that the matter still appears outside of it - it's really still there and will really still not have crossed 10^100 years in the future (outer frame).

until matter gains the magical ability to cross a horizon in finite proper time with respect to the OUTER reference frame, my argument still stands.

i'll break it down if you're still not getting it:
>matter never ever reaches an event horizon with respect to any outer reference frame
>regardless of reference frame, the matter is in the same place
>with a co-moving frame, the matter is just instants away from crossing
>it doesn't matter how far into the future you travel in an outer reference frame, that same matter will still be an instant away from crossing in its own reference frame
>therefore, no matter has yet crossed any event horizon. all of it is still on the very last moments of its journey within its own frame, which translates to an eternity of remaining time with respect to the outer
>to reiterate, even though matter should quickly cross from its own perspective, this process takes an infinite amount of time from any outer perspective. it doesn't only appear to, it really does take forever from that point of view

This is a misconception, as I explained in >>7413991. There are coordinate systems in which the object falls in before the outside guy turns 10^100 years old or whatever, and there are coordinate systems in which the object falls after he turns 10^100.

Why would this apply to 'has ever'? You weren't observing it, so from your current reference frame, it already happened, and there's not even an apparent contradiction.


As I understand it, the object falling in could send out a regular pulse, and to you, outside, it would take longer and longer for these pulses to reach you, until eventually they appear to stop / take forever - but for the object, it was sending these pulses regularly all the way in, but (here's the point where I might fail to take something into account and over-simplify as a result, if I haven't already) it was never knowing if/when you were receiving the pulse (and I'd think if it somehow did, it would notice the receipt of the pulses was taking longer and longer - if it had time to notice such a thing before it crossed the horizon), and the fact that at some point you will stop receiving its signal makes no difference to the object whatsoever.

Any of that right?

Someone falling into the universe can see outside just fine. Imagine they are falling into the black hole, while watching a clock in the distance. What does the distant clock read when they reach the event horizon? It seems it would have an infinite value.

This isn't something relative. Either it crosses at some point in spacetime or it doesn't. As for reference frames, that's a special relativity concept. It applies only in an approximate sense, over limited regions of spacetime.

>but what is the significance of that
To the people inside, it won't have any effect. Someone falling in would care, though.

>when the universe has ended 10x over before that has passed
As was pointed out even in the post you responded to, whether that's true or not depends on the coordinate system you use.

BTW, the expansion of the universe is getting faster, so there is (to current knowledge) no indication that it will end.

>If I take a snapshot of a black hole at any time in the next trillion years from my end, would any matter have crossed the event horizon?
You would be taking the snapshot with light (or something of equal or lesser speed), which cannot escape the event horizon, so you would not see the matter cross.

>Would the black hole not completely dissipate before any matter crossed the event horizon, or am I wrong about that?
This is more controversial, and quantum mechanics may actually result in the old classical (meaning not quantum mechanical) understanding of black holes being overturned. But as I understand it, the traditional semi-classical model is that it dissipates after the matter falls in (pic related). Note that there's still no way for an outside observer to see anything fall through the horizon, or anything beyond that.

If black holes can slow down time, can we use it somehow to travel to future?

Sure, but you can do it easier using the ship you'd need to get there.

Time travel to the future is easy as shit, no one cares about that.

Ok one thing I don't understand is rotating black holes. How can it be rotating if time stops at the event horizon?

>> No.7419129

It's basically the space rotating. The matter that formed the black hole was rotating, but after it fell through the event horizon, it doesn't affect the outside anymore.

The TL;DR of it poster is that movement doesn't necessarily imply time, if you move faster than a plank scale you're no longer moving, you're warping
