Can Black Holes Be Broken Apart?

AI Thread Summary
Black holes cannot be broken apart through any known means, including collisions with other black holes, which only result in the formation of a larger black hole. The fundamental nature of black holes makes them stable and resistant to disruption. Current scientific understanding supports the idea that once matter crosses the event horizon, it cannot escape or be separated from the black hole. The concept of breaking apart a black hole remains purely theoretical and unsupported by evidence. Thus, black holes maintain their integrity regardless of external forces.

... No
 
Not even a collision with another black hole can disrupt a black. You just get a bigger black hole.
 

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
