Light continues to circle around the 'black hole' in what is called the 'Schwartchild radius before disappearing into the event horizon'. This is how that scientists are said to find the 'black holes'; they find the bright 'circles' with a black hole in it. light cannot escape a black hole because the escape velocity (the velocity needed to escape the gravitation pull of a celestial body) of a black hole exceeds the speed of light.

What thing is in black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The "thing" inside a black hole is thought to be a singularity, a point of infinite density where the laws of physics as we currently understand them break down.


Can black holes be other color?

black holes don't really have color... they just named it "black hole" because no light can escape from it... neither do anything else, for that matter.


Is it possible to ecscape a black hole with a infinite energy?

No it isn't possible to get escape from the black hole . Because its gravitational forces is so immense that even light can't escape this nightmare . So if you ever went near to a black hole, you will be doomed .


What can escape a black hole?

Simply put, nothing can escape a black hole. Not even light. The only matter than has even remotely 'escaped' (and I use the term loosely) a black hole is just "lucky". Some matter is saved at the brink and thrust light years into space. Once something crosses the Event Horizon, however, that's it. The Event Horizon is the point of no return.


Are black holes a way to travel between galaxies?

no, a black hole is a region. With nothing, not even light could escape, is a black hole. Around the black hole, an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The way it is named: the Black Hole, is because "it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics." What many people don't know is that the black hole is divided into 3 parts: the 'singularity', which is in the centre. The 'inner event horizon', which is the point of no return in black holes. After passing the point, light or matter can't escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The matter or light will then disappear. And the 'outer event horizon', is the outer layer of the black hole.


Why are black hole?

A black hole is called a black hole because due to its density and therefore intense gravity, nothing, not even light, can escape it. Though it has extreme mass, it is not a light source, and it will not reflect any light, so it appears as a "black hole" in the universe.As a black hole has massive gravity, light from objects behind it will "bend" around the black hole and an observer will see what is called gravitational lensing. The effect of the lensing will be greatly pronounced because a black hole deforms space-time dramatically. A black hole is a point in space where something is, but because the "thing" that is there generates extreme gravity, it will not be visible under any conditions. It was natural to apply the term black hole to this phenomenon.Because, the huge gravitational forces inside the black hole ensure nothing - not even light - can escape.


How do you escape a black hole?

Some theories state that if you enter a black hole at a certain trajectory you can exit via a white hole in another part of our universe or different universe. Other than this there is no escape from a black hole. Hawking radiation excepted.


I understand that not even light can escape a black hole but how much faster than the speed of light would you have to travel in order to escape a black hole?

Here is the problem:The speed of light is the absolute speed limit, according to current scientific knowledge. The area where light cannot escape is called the Schwarzchild radius. Once you're inside that radius, that's it for you. Sorry.Lightspeed is not necessarily the absolute speed-limit. There is a faster speed, but humans have failed to discover that speed just yet. In order to escape a black-hole you need to find a way to get through the outer wall before you cross the event horizon. The event horizon (EV) is the point in the black hole where all matter and light are crushed and absorbed into the void. So, as Argleargle said, if you are inside the Schwarzchild Radius, or in my case past the EV, you will cease to exist.DON'T SUPPOSE...Anyone's heard that Steven Hawkings has said that it is possible for certain particles to escape a black hole as "Haking radiation"? Of course, if you were Hawking radiation you'd probably still be dead, but it IS possible to escape a black hole.


What is the interior space in a black hole?

The interior space is just black, a black hole is something that light can't escape through and no one has ever been in one, and no one will ever go in one because they are most likely going to get torn up and shredded into molecules. So, the interior space in a black hole is nothing.


Is black hole a real game?

honestly, i don't know. It does look like a fun game. But really from all I know, Black Hole is just a game from the nickelodeon movie, Best Player


Why can't light escape from black hole?

no because black holes are so amazingly dense that nothing can escape. also that when something enters a black hole the denseness automattically crushes it after it sucks something in like a vacuum.No. That is how a black hole is defined.Real Answer: Once light crosses what is called the event horizon (Point of no return even if your traveling at the speed of light ) 3.2 x 10^8 m/s , that 3.2 with the decimal moved to the right 8 times meters per second.meaning it gets close enough so that the inward force of gravity that the black hole produces (unfathomable) creates a verticle velocity of the speed of light and bends the light inward into the black hole where it never escapes. Or you could say that it creates an enormous inward horizontal gravity force that will bend that light because as E=mc^2 explains , Energy is the square of the mass of an abject times the speed of light squared. or we could say that the mass of an object is the speed of light squared divided by its energy ( Kenetic plus potential).To simplify things: A black hole is defined as 'a region of space from which nothing can escape'. This may need a little explanation.The first thing you need is a singularity. A singularity is an object which is both very small and very heavy, so it has a very large gravitational field strength. Around the singularity is something called the event horizon. This is not a separate entity but is the name we give for the 'edge' of the black hole. The gravitational effects of the singularity can be felt outside of the event horizon. The event horizon merely marks the 'boundary' between ordinary space and space which nothing can escape from (also know as a black hole). The reason nothing can escape from a black hole is that the gravitational force exerted by the singularity pulls things towards it so strongly that the only way to escape is to travel faster than light. Nothing can travel faster than light so nothing can escape. The field strength is so great that even light 'falls' towards the singularity.I hope that makes more sense (I don't know what the above are talking about vacuums and energy-mass conversions for, it just seems to complicate it)


What can escape from black holes?

As far as we know, once anything passes the event horizon (including light), it goes into a portion of space that is so intensely warped by the black hole's gravity (as gravity distorts space*) that all directions essentially lead to the center of the black hole beyond that horizon. This would mean that regardless what the velocity of the object was, it could never escape. It is a point of absolutely no return.(*This is really just a theory, no matter how elaborate, since you can only know so much about a black hole and how gravity works)
