Black Holes Proof of Literal Hell?

Good movie. Bad science.

well, the part about going to hell, and the ship being alive. i'm totally sure on the whole einstein-rosen bridge bit, but it sure gets used a lot in sci-fi.but i was just pointing out the similarity between the original post, and the premise of that movie. don't believe everything you see in hollywood.

Sometimes it's not easy to watch sci-fi because I can't stop thinking about how rediculis what there saying is and is not true in reality, but then again, that's the point of sci-fi.

Right.Maybe I was wrong about eternity passing. I'm not sure.I was thinking its kind of like how a photon is ageless. It is practically immortal because it travels at light speed so time doesn't pass for it. So if a space ship traveled at c between two galaxies and had an atomic clock on board, it would not advance at all during the travel so from the person's perspective on board he would reach the other galaxy instantaneously while in the rest of the universe thousands of years may have gone by.But I guess only a short amount of time would pass in the rest of the universe as you enter a black hole, since you are traveling at a definate speed and will reach the center in a certain amount of time?

Precisely.

Percy says: It's Io not Europa that is the most volcanicly active thing in our solarsystem. Io is the one with the massive gravitational tidal forces causing constant eruptions and volcanic activity. very sulfurous and hellish (it even looks like a hell planet).It may also be responsible for Jupeters "ring" (though the ring is far less impressive than Saturns it is still detecatble).Europa is the icy moon that may have a great deal of water underneath it (possibly a 60 mile deep ocean) and a good canidate for extraterrestrial life. Not hellish at all.Sorry to pick on you but, you see, I have a deep facination with europa and hate to see her cofused with her turbulent and violent sister.By the way, though time would stop for anything that entered a black hole. They would eventualy be reemited into the unverse in the form of hawking radiation.See:http://EvC Forum: Big bang cycles -->EvC Forum: Big bang cycles(pretty much everything beyond messege 31)This is small comfort however since nothing could even approach the Swartzchild radius before being distroyed by the massive gravitational tidal forces. And being reemited as radiation is not the same thing as surviving in any way shape or form.This message has been edited by The Dread Dormammu, 12-09-2004 09:16 PM

hangdog13 says: You wern't wrong, you were just outdated. People used to discribe falling into a black hole as a "one way ticket to the end of the universe" because as time slows down the rest of the univerese evoultion would pass before your eyes (be sure to look up so you can see incoming light and not down where you will see only nothingness).Now we know that Black holes will eventualy decay so falling into them is merely a one way ticket to the end of the black hole.Disclamer:Please, don't try this with your... black hole at home. You will not survive falling into one. You will be pulled apart and die no matter what you are made out of. Even if you can find a black hole without a whirlwind like accreation disc (making travel very treachorus) you will be horribly distroyed.Added by edit: You are right that time doesn not pass for things traveling at light speed. Photons have a one way ticket to the end of the universe)This message has been edited by The Dread Dormammu, 12-09-2004 09:25 PM

Where in the Bible does it mention that hell has the maximum amount of entropy possible.After all, since black holes cram the the maximum amount of entorpy possible into a given volume, you'd think the authors would coment on how "disorderly" hell is.From what I remeber of "The Inferno" I think hell was pretty orderly (Added by edit) at least compares to a black hole that is I mean it had citys etc.This message has been edited by The Dread Dormammu, 12-15-2004 05:49 AMThis message has been edited by The Dread Dormammu, 12-15-2004 05:50 AM

Then again, some Christians view hell as simply death, the grave, etc. In which case, a black hole would be just a cosmological phenomenon and not viewed as a possible afterlife destination.**edit**Sorry, that's a little off topic and for another forum.

First: 1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.Second: Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.It seems to me that 'death' and 'hell' are marked for Destruction.

Well the trip through would be rather hellish. First you have to deal with tidal forces. Then all of the light from the universe is focused on you (effectivly microwaving you). After that there is the compaction of your atoms to the point where you only exist as energy (remember, you have to have a brain in order for neurons to fire and give back sensory input, meaning if your soul is residual energy from your brain you are deaf blind mute and cannot feel anything. On top of that you will eventually spread out evenly throught the universe). And then you are radiated out as hawking energy.

I'm thinking about it.

​

Time stopped = experience of suffering stopped. Doesn't sound too hellish?

Could the end of time be the beginning of eternity?

Light can't escape = black hole filled with light, not endless darkness.

Right, but you can't see it even a few inches away because the photons are only on the surface.DanEdited by techristian, : spelling

Techristian, any discussion of the actual conditions within a black hole is entirely irrelevant.In the Bible, the descriptions of Hell tell of an eternal lake of fire. There can be no lake of fire in a black hole, and black holes aren't eternal. If you are proposing a literal Hell as described in the Bible, a black hole simply isn't even remotely related.It's like saying that an airplane is like a fish. It's just not even close.

Every time a fundy breaks the laws of thermodynamics, Schroedinger probably kills his cat.

Sorry to drag up a dead dog, but I felt it was necessary to point out that in 2001 a "scientist" by the name of Jack Van Impe won the Nobel Prize* in Astrophysics for his statement that "Black holes fulfill all the technical requirements to be the location of Hell."*(albeit the Ig Nobel Prize)

Dan you dont need science to prove hell.its beneath our feet.Its the hole in the ground where you get burried. i have a couple of hells out in my back yard, my favorite cat is burried in one and a rabbit is in the other one. Hell = Sheol & Hades in the bible.there is nothing more to it then that.
