black hole

[keirah]

can anyone explain the warping of time as you approach a black hole

[dippiblonde]

my gary can i just read this out and he sed yes he new the anser do you wont him to tell u he will cos he is well nice and he wont mind but my mum sez we gotta go to the chippy b4 it shuts and i dont wont to be a pain as she is doin a crisnin tomoz for our tracey my cusin from stepney but i can go on myself and gary wil tel u the ansewr but he is playin on the xbox at the minit his brother borowd it for him over the weekend cos he is in amsterdam his brother not my gary i dont mean

try putting this in science. You'll get a lot more answers there.

[keirah]

Dont you just pity her

[Ctrak]

You really, really need to remember to post these in science. Someone's gonna try and kill you at this rate.

Objects in a gravitational field experience a slowing down of time, called time dilation. This phenomenon has been verified experimentally in the Scout rocket experiment of 1976,[19] and is, for example, taken into account in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Near the event horizon, the time dilation increases rapidly.

From the viewpoint of a distant observer, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow down, approaching but never quite reaching the event horizon. As the object falls into the black hole, it appears redder and dimmer to the distant observer, due to the extreme gravitational red shift caused by the gravity of the black hole. Eventually, the falling object becomes so dim that it can no longer be seen, at a point just before it reaches the event horizon.

From the viewpoint of the falling object, nothing particularly special happens at the event horizon. The object crosses the event horizon and reaches the singularity at the center within a finite amount of proper time, as measured by a watch carried with the falling observer.

From the viewpoint of the falling observer, distant objects may appear either blue-shifted or red-shifted, depending on the observer's trajectory. Light is blue-shifted by the gravity of the black hole, but is red-shifted by the velocity of the falling object.

Well I think keirah is making a cry for help here, and I decoded the question as "do you like VPL ?" and I was going to answer "Oh yes NOT HALF!" when I realised that it would be unseemly. I wrestled with an alternative related to base pairs (A-T and G-C) but in the end I decided not to post at all.

whiifey my fine fellow, it seems you have a fetish for knickers, well thongs in particular, just cycle more

ps. may i, once again, apologaise for me poor use, of the great english language

[curlyfilm]

ps, black holes are just theory,

[whiffey]

No, NOT thongs. I'm all for the standard pattern M&S underneath tight black trousers walk with a wiggle and bend over and stuff like that.

Black holes are just theory, but have very sound observational evidence to suggest they do exist. No one has come up with a better theory yet either. I worked on a project in my third year based on someone trying to prove the existence of black holes. The theory behind the project was sound but, data was 'fudged' in effect to make it the outcome seem closer than it was in reality. A few more year observation and data recording could end the argument once and for all.
