Actually, I was asking if YOU knew WHAT creates a black hole.

Instead, you quote the Schwarzschild metric from WIKI. OK.

Show me one non-rotating, non-charged mass , smaller than it’s Schwarzschild radius, that has formed a black hole.

Then I was asking you ‘where it goes’, and you quote the Hawking Radiation from WIKI. OK.

Since ‘thermal background radiation’ is a description of energy, and not any kind of location, then what Hawking is saying is that it just ‘disappears’ into the background radation of the entire Universe. Which is really a ‘non-answer’. (sorry, Hawking doesn’t know everything, and even has admitted he has been totally wrong on occassion)


Perhaps I should narrow the question down.

Of all the billions of humongous stars and planets that seem to disappear down a black hole, where do they go?

Why is it called a Black HOLE, if it’s not a hole, but a solid object?

If it’s not a solid object, but a hole into which trillions of tons of matter and energy seem to disappear, where does the hole lead to?

>> ‘disappears’

It doesn’t disappear. It just becomes thermal radiation.

>>Why is it called a Black HOLE,

Because visible light goes in but does not come out as visible light.
