Per Einstein's General Theory, which is the theory of gravitation, gravity affects space itself. A black hole (or any mass) by way of analogy is like a weight on a rubber sheet which stretches the sheet; in this sense a black hole is shown to 'stretch' space to an extreme curvature or gradient which is effectively infinite.

Rotating black holes are also calculated to evidence a phenomenon called frame-dragging, in which the space itself around them in spinning in the same direction as that of the black hole.

How does a black hole wrap the space-time fabric?

Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity. In a black hole the mass is simply more concentrated.Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity.

Why don't the weight of a black hole tear space time?

The weight of a black hole doesn't tear spacetime because the black hole's mass warps spacetime only around its immediate vicinity, following the curvature of general relativity. This warping allows objects to enter and exit without spacetime tearing.


Is the black hole in space a blue star?

No. A black hole may be the remnant of the core of what was once a blue star, but the black hole itself is as black as anything can possibly be.


What excatly is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space-time with very strong gravitational pull that even light cannot escape from it. The ESCAPE VELOCITY is greater than SPEED OF LIGHT.


A black hole is a hole ripped in space through another sector in thin multi diminsianol place through time and space and gravity it then would a hole riped in space would stop light therefore stopping?

The term black hole is a misnomer that implies the notion of a hole; there is no hole, so there is no hole foe light to escape into another multidimensional place. A black hole is a spherical volume of immense gravitational attraction. The interface presented towards the outside world, called the event horizon is not really a physical boundary: it's merely the point beyond which not even light can hope to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.

Can a black hole be felt?

yes you can be warp and die in a space time worm hole.


Do black holes have something to do with time?

Yes. In the neighborhood of a black hole, both time and space are distorted, due to the black hole's strong gravitational attraction.


Does a black hole elevate time and space?

In Theory, yes

What is the anatomy of a black hole and how does it influence the surrounding space-time?

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. It is formed when a massive star collapses in on itself. The anatomy of a black hole includes a singularity at its center, surrounded by an event horizon, which is the point of no return. The intense gravity of a black hole warps space-time around it, causing time to slow down and space to be distorted. This influence can affect the motion of nearby objects and even cause them to be pulled into the black hole.


Why is time warped near a black hole?

This is because the gravitational force of a black hole is so strong that it literally warps the fabric of space and time around it.


How does gravity escape a black hole and affect the surrounding space-time?

When an object falls into a black hole, it adds to the mass of the black hole, increasing its gravitational pull. This affects the surrounding space-time by warping it even more, causing objects nearby to be pulled in as well. Gravity from a black hole does not "escape" in the traditional sense, but rather continues to influence the space-time around it, shaping the movement of objects in its vicinity.


Is the universe a black hole so to speak?

No, the universe is mostly a vacuum but a black hole is (theoretically) when gravity goes wild and rips a hole in space and time


Is a black hole actually a hole in space?

No, a black hole is not actually a hole in space. It is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.


What is the relation between black hole and worm hole?

There isn't any. A black hole is a location where the mass density is such that space folds in upon itself. A worm hole is a (theoretical) connection between two (or more) locations in space and/or time. At one time it was postulated that a black hole might be a portal into a worm hole ... but the math doesn't hold up.


Which is stronger black hole or neutron star?

Gravity is stronger in a black hole, if that's what you mean. It's in a black hole that space and time are distorted to such an extent that not even light can escape.


What is the black hole in space?

the black hole is a matter in outer space that is made by the force of gravity
