SPOILER ALERT! In a recent movie- Interstellar , 2014– an astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey and a rectangular robot fall into a black hole and survive to tell it.This movie featured a fancy scientific advice, such as the physical Kip Thorne , involved in the discovery of gravitational waves caused by the interaction of two black holes, but that did not prevent them from being too benign and fanciful when describing what could happen to you within a black hole.
What happens inside a Black Hole? The distressing possibilities
Black holes are points in the universe where the force of gravity is so intense that not even light can escape them.They can be the result of the collapse of red stars or the way in which Some galaxies are structured.This phenomenon was one of the predictions of the theory of relativity in the early twentieth century, with key contributions in the sixties and seventies, by physicists such as Stephen Hawking, and with a discovery in the new millennium., that of gravitational waves, which seems to have confirmed its existence.
It is believed that there are several black holes in our galaxy and that the center of the Milky Way could be a super massive black hole , which could fit more than a million stars in the size of our sun.
What could happen to you inside a black hole? There are several theories: you could suffer a kind of cloning effect , be in and out of the hole at the same time, partly absorbed by the enormous force of attraction; You could be "spaghetized", the force of gravity acting with different intensity in different parts of your body lengthen it and give it a form of noodles .
Of surviving in a black hole maybe you could travel in time, forward; or see how the intense force of gravity distorts light and matter.Or nothing could happen if you fall into a super massive hole like the one in the center of our galaxy.According to some physicists, in these holes massive gravitational tide would be so great that it would not affect small subjects, such as a human being..
There are those who have imagined that if a black hole could pass through unharmed, you would go out through a "white hole" (which instead of absorbing, would expel everything ), and there is Einstein's speculation that when you enter a black hole you would have the impression of floating, although in truth you would be falling eternally .
It has been speculated that black holes can lead to parallel universes os, but Hawking thinks, and this in part has been confirmed, that the matter absorbed by the hole would be divided into negative and positive particles; the first ones would be destroyed inside the hole and the positive ones would become radiation (the “Hawking radiation”) and you would remain on the edge of the hole, which has been called event horizon , and that would be the only visible part of this strange place.
Of course, all these possibilities are in the field of the pure speculation , because until recently there was not even physical evidence of the existence of black holes.And even if they exist, it is very unlikely that in the short or medium term astronauts will turn in the wrong direction and fall into a black hole.
