What we think of as the "interior" of a black hole is a theoretical construct describing a physical phenomenon that we haven't been able to study from up-close. We need to build much better telescopes to find out if our theory actually matches reality. We may have to actually visit the closest black hole to get a definitive answer... that might be thousands of years in the future, if we ever manage the financial effort for that experiment, at all. | |

| May 25, 2015 at 18:49 | comment | added | CuriousOne | If you can't observe something, does it exist? Not by the conventional definition of science. If you can't determine what's happening inside a perfect black box, can you have scientific questions about it? Not by the conventional definition of science. The good news is that the conventional properties of event horizons are the result of a classical (and false) theory about them. In reality all of this could be very different. We just don't know, because we haven't seen reality up-close, yet. | |
