Does a particle falling into a black hole ever reach the center? [duplicate]
Once an object or particle passes the event horizon, will it ever reach the center of the blackhole. I ask this from my elementary understand of relativity. This is my understanding: if an object ...

If it takes infinitely long for someone to fall in a black hole, wouldn't it evaporate first? [duplicate]
Let's say I decide to jump into a large black hole. A distant observer never sees me enter the black hole, but he does see the black hole evaporate. According to this reasoning, I would then keep ...

Is it possible for things to fall past the event horizon? [duplicate]
Everything I can find says that time dilation approaches infinity at the event horizon of a black hole. Black holes evaporate over a finite amount of time. Wouldn't this imply that somebody falling ...

Would a black hole evaporate before reaching the event horizon? [duplicate]
Consider Alice approaching a black hole while Bob observes her journey from a distance. Due to the large gravitational field surrounding the black hole, Bob observes Alice her clock to slow down as ...

How fast does a black hole appear to decay from infalling observer's perspective? [duplicate]
Black holes eventually decay by emitting radiation. It can take a long time. But from an outsider's perspective.
How long does it take from the perspective of someone falling into it?
I understand ...

Who wins the race between an astronaut falling towards a black hole and the event horizon shrinking due to Hawking radiation? [duplicate]
From an external point of view, an astronaut falling towards a black hole takes an infinite amount of time to reach the horizon, while the horizon vanishes in finite time due to Hawking radiation. ...

Considering Hawking radiation, can an object ever actually cross event horizon of a black hole? [duplicate]
The Schwarzschild solution of Einstein's field equations clearly shows that a far away observer sees time slow down for an in-falling object. Relative to him, it takes an infinite amount of time for ...

Given the time dilation at the event horizon plus black hole evaporation, can anything really ever enter a black hole? [duplicate]
There are many thought experiments about what it would be like to fall into a black hole, spaghettififaction, the singularity at the center and so on. But to me it seems that no object could actually ...

Does a black hole evaporate by the time an observer reaches the singularity? [duplicate]
Assume you are an invincible observer who falls into a blackhole...
Your time runs slower than the universe outside, as you get closer and closer to the singularity, the ratio between your time and ...

Would you reach a singularity before evaporation of the black hole? [duplicate]
When going to a physics camp the other day, we discussed the Schwarzchild-metric for a rotational symmetric non-spinning black hole and its famous time-dilation properties.
However, we know that ...

Would an observer at infinity see a black hole decay before anything reaches the event horizon? [duplicate]
I’ve just watched a lecture on black holes by Leonard Susskind. He states that it takes an infinite amount of time to an outside observer for an object to reach the event horizon. However, a black ...

How can anything ever fall into a black hole as seen from an outside observer?
The event horizon of a black hole is where gravity is such that not even light can escape. This is also the point I understand that according to Einstein time dilation will be infinite for a far-away-...

Understanding Time Dilation at the Event Horizon
I was recently reading about the event horizon of black holes and came across the fact that, to a "stationary" observer, it takes forever for someone to fall into a black hole. The sources claim that ...

Will a black hole eventually turn into a neutron star?
As far as i understand, black holes radiate away energy in form of Hawking Radiation. Thus, they lose mass, i suppose. Is there a point where the mass becomes too small for the object to still be a ...

Why does an evaporating black hole always stay a black hole?
Stars can only collaps and form black holes if their masses are above the Chandrasekhar limit, $M>M_{\rm Pl}^3/M_{\rm hydrogen}^2$. When the universe eventually cools down enough, the black holes ...
