"Uhhmmm technically, it doesn't suck, just whatever goes past the event horizon falls into it."

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago

It just exists. It's not its fault it distorts spacetime around it until it becomes one of those coin donation funnels at the mall.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Since spacetime is compressing to a single point, is it really "falling", or just being zipdrived?

[-] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

There would likely be some extreme vortexes especially in the accretion disk. The pressure differences would absolutely create a suction effect.

It's all probably as negligible as legs on a cow to astrophysicists but I would reckon on its own (without the umpteen solar masses of gravity distorting your results), at human scale I would estimate that it "fucking sucks".

Pure speculation on my part.

Meh, it's 0K.

Do black holes have a temperature, or is time just so dilated that it appears to have no temperature from our perspective?

Is temperature a function of time??

[-] erie09@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Temperature is movement. So, yes

My body temperature is -273,15K I am cooler ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

If your body temp is any negative number of Kelvin, your existence is theoretical at best, potentially moving backwards through time, or instantly causing a chain reaction that would obliterate the fabric of reality, at worst.

Negative temperatures are actually hotter than all positive temperatures, you're experiencing population inversion

~~Integer~~ float underflow

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In that case, ypi would be the coolest of all

It doesn't suck, its just dense.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

Technically it is wrong, since there is no flow of matter in to the black hole due to pressure difference going on, i.e. sucking.

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Not correct. There is no vacuum. Just falling.
