For this particular thread we were concentrating upon very large black holes.  
You can have the tiny ones.

Guys,


Not all black holes are cold, the "small" ones are extremely hot.  Unless you 
only believe in large ones...


A black hole weighing 1.2x10e12 kg is about a million K with a radius of 
1.8x10e-10 meters.  If the sun spit that at earth it might orbit around a few 
months and collapse atmospheric gasses around it and create a hurricane...

photon as before continues outward from this side of the horizon toward the far 
away observers.  I asked the question about where the energy ends up because I 
suspect that it becomes distributed throughout space in some manner.  One might 
draw a conclusion that space is stretched out from the horizon due to some form 
of linear dimension dilation so that the COE is preserved.  This is not 
completely evident and I do not know if it is assumed in any theory except 
possibly for the curvature of space associated with general relativity.


It becomes increasingly complicated if we must deal with dilation of both space 
and time.  My photon thought experiment tends to support that supposition.  If 
one follows the logic in reverse the spaceman sees that any thermal noise or 
other radiation incident upon the hole from the outside would become very 
intense within this region near the boundary.  You would not want to visit this 
area for a vacation.


Your question about the existence of black holes is a good one.  There have 
been measurements of the effect of one at the center of our galaxy on nearby 
stars which is quite convincing.  Some of the enormous beams of energy being 
emitted by other galaxies in opposite directions from their axis seem to have 
not other conceivable mechanisms so far.


I have wondered about how matter is added to a black hole once it reaches a 
point where time dilation becomes so great that we observe it freezing on the 
way in.  Like our test probe ship, this incoming matter should be frozen in 
some manner until the radiation from it red shifts all the way to zero.  Of 
course that is what we observe at a distance which is the key.


Lets start with something simple.  A large star that is not quite massive 
enough to become an assumed black hole behaves in ways that we are familiar.  
My statement begs an interesting question.  How does a star appear to a far 
away observer if it has a mass that is just below that required for it to 
become a black hole?  I would guess that the outer edge of such a beast would 
exhibit enormous gravitational flux and the associated time dilation.  It 
really makes me wonder what happens to normal radiation that is emitted from 
the surface.  Should we assume that it becomes red shifted as it travels our 
direction to a very large extent.  That energy leaving the massive star becomes 
trapped within the space surrounding it to a significant degree; how is this 
possible unless space itself has expanded to accommodate it?  Does anyone on 
vortex know of the observations of any stars that fall into this category?  
Perhaps they appear like red giants at our location-interesting question.  The 
obvious solution is that they explode before this occurs.  Is that their fate?


Speculation can be fun to engage in, but I am not sure that it is productive to 
keep alive a thread for this long unless other members of the vortex become 
interested.  It does not seem fair to them for us to borrow most of the 
bandwidth for so long so I plan to return to the main topic very soon.  I have 
enjoyed our thought processes and it is relaxing after I finally competed a 
good model for the MFMP cell behavior.

This is a concept that has the photon rising from the event horizon, 
but being slowed until "ceases to exist." But that would violate 
conservation of energy, for starters. Rather, the way the event 
horizon is described is that no path for light from inside the 
horizon crosses it.

This *appears* to conflict with views of the event horizon as being 
located differently with different observers.

I really think we need to back up, practically all the way. Why do we 
think there would be black holes?
