Life forms can exist inside black holes, including those in the form of highly developed civilizations, which, for various reasons, do not want to disclose their location to their “brothers in mind,” says Vyacheslav Dokuchaev, an employee of the Moscow Institute of Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences
According to popular belief, black holes suck in everything that is around them, including light - after which everything disappears without a trace. However, Dokuchaev is confident that there are regions within them where photons are able to survive in stable periodic orbits. And since there are orbits for photons, then there is no reason that could disprove the existence of stable orbits for much larger objects, for example, planets. The scientist published his arguments in the online journal of Cornell University.
The problem is that the so-called event horizon, the primary region of black holes, where time and space merge together, does not allow detecting these stable orbits.
Dokuchaev believes that beyond the event horizon there is a "Cauchy horizon" - an area where space and time acquire their usual properties. Objects in it rotate along a singularity, just like the planets of our solar system. True, unlike ordinary orbits, these are not circular, but a more complex shape, somewhat reminiscent of a wreath of petals. Planets rotating in such orbits receive energy not only from the singularity itself, but also from the photons captured by the orbit.
According to the scientist, on such planets there are conditions for the formation of complex chemicals, therefore, there are all the prerequisites for the origin of life, including in the form of highly developed civilizations. The scientist believes that for advanced aliens, black holes are an ideal refuge that does not betray their location.
However, it is not possible to confirm this theory. Even if we imagine that in the future humanity will be able to equip an expedition to the depths of a black hole, for its members it will, by definition, become a one-way ticket.
