Black holes are ruthless, light-impenetrable and bottomless whirlwinds of death that promise to rip and swallow every atom of your body. Right? Probably no. A new theoretical work by researchers from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (Spain) hints that it is still possible to avoid a black hole while preserving all its atoms. The bad news is that you will most likely die anyway and … probably end up in another universe.
One of the most intriguing mysteries for modern science is what actually happens in the very center of black holes, in a region commonly called the gravitational singularity. According to scientists, here space and time stretch and merge into infinity, and the usual laws of physics have no force.
The new study offers a very interesting solution to the black hole puzzle. It proposes to consider them as some objects of the crystal structure, and their singularity - as an insignificant geometric defect of this structure. Using this model, scientists obtained a mathematical description of a black hole, where the center is represented by a tiny spherical surface. According to scientists, such a black hole can be considered as a wormhole.
Hypothetically, a person can get in and out of this wormhole, but they cannot avoid being stretched by extremely high gravity forces that will make them look like spaghetti. Believe it or not, the technical term for this phenomenon is spaghettification. After passing the singularity to another universe, the person will revert back to their normal size. True, he will feel as if he had fallen into a giant meat grinder, after which he was "blinded" again. This is what will most likely kill him.
Of course, the best way to test this hypothesis is to build a giant spaghetti machine to another universe and send a test subject through it. Are there any suitable candidates in mind?
