A wormhole is a theoretical tunnel-like structure that connects two separate points in spacetime. It is often depicted as a twisting, tube-like shape. A black hole, on the other hand, is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Visually, a black hole appears as a dark, spherical object surrounded by a glowing accretion disk of matter being pulled into it. In contrast, a wormhole does not have a specific visual representation as it is a hypothetical concept.

What happens to time in a black hole and how does it differ from the passage of time outside of it?

Time in a black hole is affected by its intense gravitational pull, causing it to slow down significantly compared to time outside the black hole. This means that time passes much more slowly inside a black hole than it does outside of it.


What does a white hole look like and how does it differ from a black hole in terms of appearance and characteristics?

A white hole is a theoretical concept in astrophysics that is the opposite of a black hole. While a black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, a white hole is a hypothetical region where matter and light can only escape and nothing can enter. In terms of appearance, a white hole would appear as a bright, glowing object emitting energy and matter, in contrast to the dark, invisible nature of a black hole.


What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?

In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.


Does every galaxy contain a black hole?

No, not every galaxy contains a black hole. While many galaxies do have a supermassive black hole at their center, there are also galaxies that do not have a black hole.


What event occurred when a black hole did a black hole spit something out?

When a black hole spits something out, it is called a "black hole jet." This event happens when matter and energy are ejected from the black hole at high speeds, creating powerful jets of particles and radiation.

Is a black hole a gateway to a wormhole?

Probably not.


Is it possible for a wormhole to be sucked inside a black hole?

No - In fact, the hypothetical concept of a wormhole is the pairing of black hole with a white hole to create a "shortcut" (tube or tunnel) through SpaceTime. Also known as an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of SpaceTime, which, if it were even possible, would be too unstable to be maintained. Therefore a wormhole would not be "suck up" by a black hole, because the wormhole is an extension of a black hole. Rather wormholes would independently destabilize and evaporate, allowing the black hole to continue on into existence.


What happens if a black hole collides with a wormhole?

slows down time


How is a black hole caused?

a black hole is caused by a supernova, then the black hole forms. the matter sucked in and gets shot through a worm hole. after the wormhole the matter gets shot out a white hole. the wormhole is impossible to see, for witch this hard to belive for it goes from one end of the galixy to the other endhope i helped!


How are blackholes and wormholes related?

There is a theory that tells that when you fall in a black hole, you are not destroyed but you are "teleported" to a white hole. The wormhole is a inter-dimensional tunnel that connects a black hole to a white hole.


Where do you come out if you went in a black hole?

Dont hold me to this, but any thing that goes into a black hole does not come out. In suggesting that you reapear, you would be be refering to a wormhole


Are black holes and wormholes related?

Yes, there is a difference between a black hole and a dark hole. The black hole is that "monster of the universe" that is the remnants of a collapsed massive star. It is a place of extreme gravity, and gravity is so great that nothing, not even light, can escape. And because not even light can escape, it is "black" in there. It's a black hole. A dark hole is a term usually applied to something that is not illuminated well enough to see into, like a deep crater on the moon or another planet. This deep "hole" in the surface might be lit from the side, leaving the "inside" of it in darkness. The hole is "dark" inside, and we derive the name from that fact. No astronomer will apply the term "dark hole" to a black hole because of the differences.


Is the black hole a wormhole?

Probably not. The existence of black holes can be considered to be confirmed; the existence of wormholes is highly speculative, that is, they probably don't exist at all. According to String Theory, worm hole does exist. However black holes are not warm holes. Even if you did found a wormhole, it probably going to be only about 1 atom small.


Could the Large Hadron Collider open a wormhole or stargate?

that is horribly unlikely but it could if a spinning black hole was generated


Why did Kip Thorne favor worm hole over black hole travel for the filming of 'Contact' by Carl Sagan?

It is far more plausible that something might travel via wormhole than via black hole. A wormhole is a distortion of space and time that acts as a sort of shortcut between two places. A black hole is a collapsed object whose gravity distorts time and space so severely that withing a certain radius, nothing can escape. Once something crosses the event horizon of a black hole it is trapped inside forever.


How much gravity does a wormhole have?

The concept of wormholes is a theoretical topological feature of spacetime. It's possible construct is caused by two black holes or a black hole and a white hole. The wormhole itself is not a physical entity, just a name for the corridor between the two and thus cannot have any gravity.


Does a black hole expand as it sucks in matter or will it simply lead to another place like a wormhole?

we do not have enough information to answer that question Well just to add to the previous answer, like said before not much info, but from what I read they say a black hole feeds on whatever matter is around it and as its feeding it creates a bright burning giant gas desk around it, and that might show how big the black hole is. Then they just stop feeding leaving themselves with a black deadly core. Astronomers say a black hole its just really a black hole with no base/ground. But hey who knows it might be a wormhole because some other astronomers argue that it is possible that a black hole might be a wormhole and if we are able to travel through it which is impossible for us at the moment. But if we do travel we might end up in a remote area in the universe or maybe in another different universe or maybe even in a paralell universe.
