Something is holding a black hole's horizon up. It is either its very
fast equatorial spin(close to 'c') or its compressed material of its
structure pushing outward,or both Bert

what black hole?

Whaaaat?

Waterfalls have event horizons as well, assuming that there is a
maximal speed of a rower.
The event horizon is that line on the river above a waterfall beyond
which the strongest rower cannot row back upstream over the horizon.
The rower does not experience anything unusual in crossing the event
horizon.
Nor is there anything required to "hold up" that line.

whay assuming such a stupid thing

it's more obvious that tha waterfall has a maximal speed

The event horizon is that line on the river above a waterfall beyond
which the strongest rower cannot row back upstream over the horizon.

maybe he is only not good enuff to do tha job anymore

You're an arrogant imbecile. Your idiotic babblings are pure crap.
An event horizon is not an object. It has neither mass nor energy. It
does not require something to 'hold it up'.

Paul Please read your respond and then ask yourself "Who is the
arrogant idiot?" Or look in the mirror. You should hang you head in
great shame for trying to bring a person down,in hopes it will give rise
to your ego. by being just plain nasty. Have you no class? Be a man,
You know you can get away with being a nasty bully in these groups. That
tells me in the real world you are little man who gets and deserves no
respect for reality is you are a complete coward. Bert

An event horizon is not a physical artifact.

Another quality post from webtv.

It's turtles.

Eric I did not use the word "event" and if you were thinking i used
horizon as the outer surface of a black hole where is meets the space
around it More technically the plane passing through a position
on the BH surface at right angles to the line of gravity. I love my
webtv.It has no wires use a 27'' screen. Can scan,print,play DVD etc. It
made Moby the most popular octopus in the world I helped make Gates the
richest man in the world. MSN updates it every six months. My world
fastest pictures have been seen in every country in the world,.. My
son Ken gave it to me as a birthday present 8 years ago,and I have made
great use of it as you can see. Made a lot of virtual friends,and some
enemies as well. That is life,and my webtv is now part of my life.

Hi jem So far turtles has been the most intelligent answer I got so
far. I'm thinking spin(angular motion) because motion and gravity are
two sides to the same coin. GR tells us accelerating motion and gravity
are indistinguishable Bert
