I posted a blog late last year about scientists finding gamma radiation coming from the face of the planet heading out into the universe. Being chemistry major this started making me think about the universe. I am not an expert on everything, and I am just starting my major so I am just questioning what I do not know. Black holes in space are a huge mystery to everyone. No one knows what exact shape they take, how they work, or why they exist. Nothing can escape its gravitational pull. Light is sucked into the center of this mystery, and any asteroid or anything that gets to close is sucked into the center as well. I heard when I was younger that if something is pulled into a black hole when it reaches the center of the black hole is completely destroyed. Is that true? Can something that lasted billions of years really be completely destroyed from a black hole?
The theory of matter states among other things that matter is neither created nor destroyed. Sense the beginnings of the universe all the matter in the universe was already here. The oxygen, carbon, titanium, uranium everything was here just not formed into a planet or solar system for billions of years. Today we can see all the elements that are known in and on our planet. They were always there just not collected together.
Now back to the black hole. If a black hole is supposed to destroy anything that enters it, how can it destroy matter? The theory of matter clearly states matter can not be destroyed. So either the theory is wrong and it can be destroyed, or the black hole doesn’t destroy matter. Maybe the black hole is a gateway to an alternate universe, or it just sends whatever that enters it to another part of space. Who knows, but it does beg to find out the answer.
