That time doesn't stop in black holes is wrong. As I explained time stopping creates the infinite redshift at the surface. Without this redshift you can't have a black hole. It's the vail. I know I had to reexplain this to you. But you are a donut. You are not right if you think that time stops in black holes. There are no physically infinite things in the universe. Black holes exist independently of any infinite red shift, they are caused by the accumulation of matter large enough that the gravitational force exerted by the matter causes the surrounding space to distort and fold back into itself. Other than by Hawking radiation, matter and energy cannot escape from a black hole. But at the centre of a black hole, the gravitational force, although extremely high, is not infinite. Some theorists predict that our currently expanding universe will expand forever, others that all the matter in the universe will eventually collapse into one single black hole, with a "singularity" at the end of the universe. In the collapsing universe, all the space in the universe would also end up folded into the black hole, and the universe would consist of nothing but a vanishingly small 'dot', but even then, the gravitational force would not be infinite, because the universe is not infinitely large to begin with. If, at the end of the collapsing universe scenario, the dot decreased by half its size each second, it could continue to do that forever, space-time would never cease to exist, and time would never stop. Some theorists reckon that the rate of collapse would accelerate, so for example, the dot might take 1/2 a second to reduce in size by half, then 1/4 of a second to reduce in size by half again, and at intervals of 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 seconds and so on by half each time. At the end of 1 second of this accelearting rate of collapse tne 'dot' at the end of the universe would actually vanish! Only then could one describe time as having 'stopped', as spacetime would no longer exist. Inside an ordinary black hole, time exists as per usual, as does the space around it. |

Don't call black holes Black
Don't use this racist and fascist style. Call such holes "green". |
