Black hole acceleration beyond C?

In summary: So if the gravitational pull of the magnet was so strong that it was compressing the photons traveling down the pipe then it would take a long time for the photon to hit the floor. But it didn't. It hit the floor pretty quick. So my conclusion is that the gravitational pull of the magnet isn't strong enough to compress the photons traveling down the pipe.

Im new here so forgive me but was just wondering if a black hole could accelerate matter faster than light by compressing the vibrational frequency of the matter to say gamma radiation leaving behind it exponential mass at the event horizon as it accelerates past C?

Nothing travels faster than light. Period.

I don't know what you mean by "compressing the vibrational frequency of the matter".

I was about to post just what Drakkith posted...

As a general comment, the 'singularity' at the center of a black hole is likely not anything 'infinite'...it's far more likely that such a result means our math doesn't work at those incredibly high gravities. Odd things seem to happen at such tiny,tiny Planck scales.

If you are referring to Heisenberg uncertainty then the answer as far as is known is definitely not...nothing 'faster than light'. It seems that at Planck scale, smaller than anything we can experimentally probe so far, instead of anything 'accelerating' without bound, what happens is that we are no longer able to distinguish between space, mass, time, and so forth...See 'quantum foam'
descriptions... It's a little like trying to distinguish water waves from sky when the waves get frothy...

Also, just so you know, 'acceleration beyond c' has no meaning...'c' is a velocity, acceleration is, well, acceleration...the rate of change of velocity. When you get a ticket for driving too fast, that's 'velocity' related no 'acceleration'.

In addition there is no 'exponential' mass associated with black holes. When a black hole
absorbs some energy or mass those are directly reflected, one to one, as a change in the mass and size of the horizon of the black hole.

If you search 'black holes' in these forums [via SEARCH, top of this page] you'll find lots of discussions on black holes...

Not that I know of, but it is a intersting question to ask.

Prove it ! If light is traveling directly towards a black hole at c then if it doesn't speed up when the gravitational effect begins to have a strong effect you could say the black hole is having No effect on the light which we know is wrong ! Just a thought

I'm not trying to wind anyone up honest but if the Mathis don't work
And don't make sense then they are wrong and we need a new way to approach the issue I think personally that so called gravity is an electromagnetic force rather than being generated by mass it's why the moon has very little and the Earth has a much bigger field because of the spinning molten iron core not the mass surrounding it electrical potential Have you looked at the electric universe website some interesting ideas oh yeah and where is that higs boson we were led to believe they had narrowed the freq down to then nothing ? Guess they found something unexpected or. 2 things unexpected maybe there funding would stop if they actually found anything lol

Why is the speed of light not considered a varible? Light is a photon. This we know has a mass, so why can't it be looked at like all mass is? Able to be slowed in motion and quickend in motion.

Ooh boy where to start. First off the so called gravity as you say has completely different properties than the electromagnetic. Want to prove that weigh up a piece of iron. Then apply a current. Effectively making it a magnet. Did the weight of the iron change? Absolutely not.

I would highly suggest you visit the FAQ sub forums.

Incorrect a photon has no mass it is a massless particle. As such we cannot treat it as a mass particle because it isn't.
A particle with mass would require infinite energy to travel at the speed of light. While photons can be slowed down by traveling through a medium. It cannot go faster than c
Your second part of your post isn't too clear.

Ok guys I tend to do my own observations about gravitational effects rather than rely on written equations so you'll have to give me a bit of slack here. I took a copper pipe 6 feet long then got a neodynium magnet that fits quite snug. I drop the magnet at the side of the pipe and it took approx a second to hit the floor. Then I drop the magnet down the inside of the copper pipe and it takes 5.5 seconds to come out of the end. I had a multimeter on different points of the copper pipe and registered no more than 200millivolts. so very little voltage being produced for basically a tightly wound coil (pipe) An electromagnetic effect negating 80% of gravity ? eddy current s don't really explain to me what is going on so can you advise me what you think is negating all that gravity?
you might want to check what opposing magnetic fields existing in the same space does to gravitational effect.

Plus if you use enough voltage you can make anything especially iron lighter check out the B52 bomber from the mid 50's to the 60's also check out what the tech's from lockheed martin skunkworks have to say about forcing opposing magnetic field to exist in the same space say about how it alters gravitational effects!

I have closed this overly speculative thread.
 

FAQ: Black hole acceleration beyond C?

What is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape its grasp. It is formed when a massive star dies and collapses in on itself.

How does a black hole accelerate beyond the speed of light?

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that it warps the fabric of space-time. This results in objects near the black hole being pulled towards it at immense speeds, exceeding the speed of light.

Can anything escape a black hole's acceleration?

No, once an object crosses the event horizon of a black hole, it is impossible for it to escape due to the overwhelming gravitational pull. This is known as the point of no return.

How do scientists study black hole acceleration beyond the speed of light?

Scientists use various methods such as observing the effects of black holes on their surrounding space and studying the emission of radiation from matter falling into a black hole to understand its behavior. They also use mathematical models and simulations to better understand the physics of black holes.

Is it possible for a human to survive near a black hole accelerating beyond the speed of light?

No, the intense gravitational pull and radiation near a black hole would make it impossible for a human to survive. The immense tidal forces and extreme temperatures would be fatal. Additionally, the intense time dilation near a black hole would make it seem like time is moving at a much faster rate, making it impossible for a human to return to their original position in space and time.
