does anyone actually know what happens when something reaches the event horizon?
An event horizon is a theoretical boundary surrounding a black hole, beyond which no light or matter can escape. It is the point of no return for objects entering a black hole.
When objects reach the event horizon, they are pulled into the black hole by its immense gravitational force. They are also stretched and distorted due to the strong gravitational pull, a process known as spaghettification.
No, nothing can escape from the event horizon once it has crossed the boundary. This includes light, which is why black holes are completely dark and invisible.
The size of a black hole's event horizon is directly related to its mass. The larger the mass of a black hole, the larger its event horizon will be.
Yes, while both have an event horizon, a black hole's event horizon is a one-way street. Anything that enters the event horizon will be pulled into the black hole. A wormhole's event horizon, on the other hand, allows for two-way travel between two points in space-time.
