Do Events Inside Black Holes Happen? | Space Time | PBS Digital Studios

How often do you look up at space and you think about black holes and you are gripped by fear? Well, fear not. Black holes aren’t what we all have been taught through the movies. And we most likely will not encounter one anytime soon. They are actually a place of a lack of light hence black hole. You couldn’t even see it. The question is though, do events happen within a black hole and is there any genuine way to find out if these events do in fact take place?

Key Takeaways:

• Events that happen at a normal rate [from orbital perspective], will happen in slow motion for me resulting from gravitational time dilation.
• At the event horizon of a black hole, all things appear in suspended animation.
• Do collections of event mimic mass, or do they actually have mass? Is there a difference?

“The black hole is not just a set of locations, it’s all the events that have ever or will ever take place there, according to observers who are physically there.”
