Black Holes and their varying sizes.

273 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

As I understand it black holes are infinitely dense. Yet some are larger because they’ve consumed more material than others.

So I’m confused because if they are infinitely dense shouldn’t they all be the same size? Or is infinity + a few hundred solar systems larger than just infinity? Maybe I just don’t understand infinity that well…

The point of infinite density is the center. The further out is drawn to that point. Imagine a thimble being infinitely deep, and a pool being infinitely deep. The closer you get to the center, the deeper it goes to the point of never ending
