"Uhhmmm technically, it doesn't suck, just whatever goes past the event horizon falls into it."

It just exists. It's not its fault it distorts spacetime around it until it becomes one of those coin donation funnels at the mall.

Since spacetime is compressing to a single point, is it really "falling", or just being zipdrived?

There would likely be some extreme vortexes especially in the accretion disk. The pressure differences would absolutely create a suction effect.

It's all probably as negligible as legs on a cow to astrophysicists but I would reckon on its own (without the umpteen solar masses of gravity distorting your results), at human scale I would estimate that it "fucking sucks".

Pure speculation on my part.

Meh, it's 0K.

Do black holes have a temperature, or is time just so dilated that it appears to have no temperature from our perspective?

Is temperature a function of time??

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

Temperature is movement. So, yes

My body temperature is -273,15K I am cooler 😎😎

If your body temp is any negative number of Kelvin, your existence is theoretical at best, potentially moving backwards through time, or instantly causing a chain reaction that would obliterate the fabric of reality, at worst.

Negative temperatures are actually hotter than all positive temperatures, you're experiencing population inversion

~~Integer~~ float underflow

In that case, ypi would be the coolest of all

It doesn't suck, its just dense.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Technically it is wrong, since there is no flow of matter in to the black hole due to pressure difference going on, i.e. sucking.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Not correct. There is no vacuum. Just falling.
