Have you ever wondered what would happen if you fell into a black hole? We at the NEWS.am Tech editorial office asked ourselves that question and evenvideoprepare about that topic. Now NASA specialists have made an animated video about getting into a black hole.
A visualization created on a NASA supercomputer takes the viewer on a one-way trip beyond the black hole's event horizon. This outer boundary of a black hole is the point where even light does not travel fast enough to escape the black hole's intense gravity. It is for this reason that the event horizon is considered a point of no return. today it is considered impossible to obtain information about anything that has crossed this point.
"People often ask about it, and modeling these hard-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to real-world consequences in the real universe," said Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center who created the visualization.
"That's why I modeled two different scenarios. one where the camera, a replica of the brave astronaut, doesn't just fall into the event horizon and get thrown back, and the other where it crosses the line and that determines its fate,” he added.
