And this is how we test the idea that time is different around a black hole.
We actually see these stars whipping so close to a black hole, we can tell that there are changes in their orbit, that they're actually going through different time.
And so we see these stars whipping around the black hole at the middle of our galaxy.
They will probably eventually go down that black hole.
I mean, maybe everything in our galaxy will eventually kind of spiral down into that black hole.
But, you know, this is not conjectural.
These are observations from telescopes.
You know, look up S2.
Look up, I don't know what the name of the one that goes faster.
It's a telephone number.
But that's real.
Now, the question about what happens if you could survive going into a black hole, and this is another place where we need better physics.
Quite honestly, our physics gives up.
There are all kinds of wonderful, fascinating possibilities.
I mean, people have pointed out this is not observation.
Now we're going from observation, we see these things, they're real, to conjecture.
People have said that if you take the entire universe, the entire mass of the universe and the radius, the diameter of the observable universe, almost exactly matches a black hole.
Could it be that inside a black hole, a new universe forms when a black hole forms?
Is that what the Big Bang was?
Was the Big Bang a black hole forming in another universe and popping off our own universe?
