If a Black Hole's gravity slows time, wont it eventually freeze at a certain state and develop no further?

Question

As the singularity arrives at a state of "infinite mass", and "infinite gravity", it also arrives at a state of "infinite time." At this point, doesn't it become a static system? Nothing inside the singularity has the time to do anything.

Answer 1

The current laws and theories of physics no longer apply when we reach a singularity.  We're still trying to figure that one out.  It's called the Grand Unified Theory, or M Theory, or String Theory, or Super String Theory depending on what you read.  But yes, gravity does slow time, so theoretically if you could stand on the "surface" of a black hole, all of eternity would pass in an instant before your eyes.  To you standing on the black hole time would still feel normal, everything outside would seem to go much much faster.

Answer 2

No. And there are pages of quantum mechanics, #'s and equations that will justify this.

Further your logic is a bit misleading because it doesn't take all the theories into account. Singularity is a small portion of what black holes are.

For example: It's like the oscillating universe theory. Saying the universe is highly differentiated in hot and cold. These differences interact. They will continue to interact until sameness reaches sameness. And sameness remains sameness.

Problem with this, is it presumes hot and cold interactions are equally distributed. (Not saying it isn't, just not proven) Although the theory is correct. The foundations for the theory can't be proven or disproven.

While your idea of singularity is, one could write, the foundation of a black hole. Bring quantum mechanics into this and we have a different outcome. Look into: "Hawking Radiation" and the leaking out of light theory.

Quantum mechanics to this day has the Einstein v. Bohr debate. Black holes are fascinating ideas. Incredibly amazing since Einstein showed that light bends in space. But, once again, your attempt at trying to find meaning behind a un-sourced theory is simply that.

Answer 3

from wat i know a black hole neither slows down time nor speeds up because our time is the earths position around the sun but if u r talkin about time and space continueum then time in a sense has been slown down but not stopped wether it will reach infinite mass and gravity is questionable but yes if it reaches infinite mass and gravity it will reach infinite time and therefore become a static system but i cant tell u wether the time has stopped until i observe a black hole or until its futher studied but until then ti remains 1 of the universes many mysteries

Answer 4

wrong it speeds up time

and sends you possibly into the future

OR! if proven to be right

sends you out another black hole

Answer 5

Time only appears to slow down when observed from outside the area affected by the gravitational force.  It still flows forward for everything being drawn past the event horizon, and into the singularity.

What happens within the singularity is a mystery.  The laws of physics are 'changed' in some way, although the exact nature of this change is unknown.

Answer 6

Well, it's not infinite mass, but theoretically a singularity is infinite density.  I think you're right.  The closer a region gets to being a singularity, the more its time will slow down.  This is why I don't think true singularities exist.  The black hole keeps getting smaller and denser, but its time gets slower and slower.  I believe the relationship is asymptotic.  It can never reach singularity because that would be the point at which time stops completely. I think relativity prevents singularities.

Answer 7

I read a book on this and I understand it to mean that it is relative time that gets slowed down.  If you were inside the black hole time will continue to advance normal while everything away from the black hole will appear to slow down.  Now if you were outside the black hole time would still advance normal for you but things closer to it will appear to slow down.  So time still advances normal inside the black hole from the point of view of the person or object itself.  

Answer 8

Your first statement is exactly right.  As you approach infinite mass time would also be infinite.  And technically instead of not having time to do anything, you would have all the time in the world because it would be endless.  But no...at this point a black hole would still be ever changing and dynamic crossing that threshold from conventional physics to quantum physics and thus creating....a big bang in an alternate time frame.  

Answer 9

Black holes don't actually slow time, just from the outside, it LOOKS like time in the center is slower.  If you jumped into a black hole, you'd get sucked into the center right away, but it would look like it took you a while to get there.  So the black hole would continue to develop, if more mass is added to the black hole.

Answer 10

The standard theory of  gravity says that a black hole has a singularity.  But quantum mechanics say that nothing can be "smaller" than about 10^-35 meters (the Planck length).   Almost certainly, QM is correct -- or at least, more correct -- in this regard, but coming up with a combined theory of gravity and QM has not been done so far.

It's not clear to me what it might mean to be "inside" a singularity.  Do you mean  inside the event horizon?  Inside the event horizon, but still (for example) a few million Planck lengths from the singularity, things are far from "infinite" anything.  And that is still far smaller than an atom (10^-9 meters).

Answer 11

okay so if your proprsing that the object wouldent move than i guess that bassed on the assumption that it will reach infinante time than it would stay still until another object interfieres with the stae of the first object but truth be told who really knows what happens insideof a black hole?
