Could we shoot a voyager type of spacecraft into a black holes and see what happens?
In: Physics
Our current knowledge of black holes is still very limited and we really want to learn more about them. By the time we can safely travel to a black hole, it’s very likely we will throw more than a few probes into it just to confirm what we know theoretically about them and hopefully learn new things from them. Black holes are truly weird!
You could throw it in, but you couldn’t see what happened. As soon as it crosses the event horizon, no light (or any signals it might be sending out) can come back out of it, so there’s no way to receive information from it
Well theoretically we could generate a tiny black hole with a particle collider and chuck something at it.
Otherwise, like people said, you’re waiting millions of years.
Are all black holes in the universe just sucking everything into it? (I.e., photons, electrons, atoms, comets).
If yes: is there “less” matter in our universe because these things are sucking it in and depositing it elsewhere?
