what is behind it? im not talking about what is in it im just talking about what on the other side.. it has to be a 3d figure right .. it cant just be a hole in the universe with no back side..

  1. Not a hole, just a very deep pit in spacetime. Eventually it fades away thanks to Hawking radiation.


  2. The er, "hole" bit is more abstract than actual

    A "Black Hole" is actually the area around some very very very dense matter

    The dense matter (formed usually/always by a star collapsing) causes such extreme gravity that it sucks everything (including light) in

    So "behind" depends on where you're standing, and there would just be more space

    Maybe space with stuff in it!

    But nothing magical

  3. you've completely contradicted yourself.

    the only way this makes any sense at all is if you are, as so many people do, picturing the black hole as a 2 dimensional object. it is a 3 dimensional object, it is a sphere. there is nothing special about the area behind a black hole. it is the same as the area behind the earth, behind a star, behind a moon, behind you. the question your asking is a kin to asking "whats behind a basketball?" there is nothing special about black holes. they aren't portals anywhere.

  4. The vacuum of space.  A black hole is just a big rock who's size a density gives it an escape velocity exceeding the speed of light.

  5. lol might be a parallel universe or just space time  

  6. A black hole is not a hole at all. It's a star that's collapsed in on itself, so to answer your question, more space is what's behind a black hole.

  7.   It is a 2 solar mass,3km in diameter sphere whose gravity is so intense that light can't escape from the surface so it is invisible

      I can see you are really wondering about it,well there are a number of very good reasons that a black hole is a non viable entity.

  8. Well, as far as this universe is concerned, it is a singularity that's "behind" a black hole, but in all truth, "Behind" really IS "inside." Gravity is a direction that points outside the universe into another dimension. Gravity is a curviature of space-time, and since we're always in space, you can't look or point in the actual direction space is being bent.

    From a 3d space perspective, there's more space behind the black hole. You can come at it from any angle just as you would a planet or star. The "hole" leads down to a point in space that is infinitely compressed - infinitely dense; basically, a shrinking down to nothingness. You can't see the singularity, because it is surrounded by the event horizon - the point-of-no-return where gravity becomes so strong that even light cannot escape. This could be considered the "surface" of the black hole, but whatever is inside of it, besides saying that it's a singularity, nobody can really say for certain because it's impossible to observe with our knowledge of science.
