Question: What’s at the bottom of a black hole?

Adam Berlie answered on 9 Nov 2018:

I am no astrophysicist but I’ll try to answer this… A black hole, is, I believe, a singularity in both space and time. It is a point where both space and time are under such extreme gravity that they essenetially get squashed and squeeze together to give a point that is both infinetly dense and infinetly small. The gravitational field is also so strong that light cannot escape (hense why it is black) and when matter is dragged in, it is essentially detroyed and ripped apart. Because both time and space are severly distorted then the matter dragged into a black hole is essentially isolated from the rest of the universe and no longer excists. However, Stephen Hawking predicted that this is not strictly true and when matter enters a black hole radiaiton is emitted from the energy of the matter that has dissolved.
