Life in Black Holes? Stable planetary orbits theorized to inside black hole event horizons

[Ian David]

Could Life Survive Inside a Black Hole?
Stable planetary orbits are theorized to exist inside black hole event horizons; advanced lifeforms may live there too.

The idea by physicist Professor Vyacheslav Dokuchaev from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow appears to go against the common belief that black holes are giant gravity wells gobbling up anything that gets too close.

In a paper written for the journal Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics and appearing on the pre-press website arXiv.org, Dokuchaev follows on from previous theories that subatomic particles such as photons can have stable orbits inside the internal structure of some black holes.

He says supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies could allow particles, and perhaps even planets with life, to orbit the singularity without being destroyed.

He says while conventional orbits wouldn't be possible, there are some places where particles and planets could have stable though unusual spiral orbits.

1. Their high tides must be killers. nt

2. ...

3. so the Heechee could exist.

6. First thing I thought of as well.

7. Oh wow! I'd forgotten about that series. I must go back and read them again. nt

5. I've heard that before....

The holographic principals on the event horizon could be same as the ones at the edge of our universe.

8. Orbits? Yes. But it would be more like the accretion disc outside the event horizon.

Matter grinded into particles by the gravitational gradient and heated up by the immense pressure.

9. Yeah, the "perhaps even planets with life" bit needs a little more explaining.

10. It's like he started with a Daily Galaxy headline and worked backwards to his thesis. n/t

11. Yeah but time would cease to exist

Maybe you have life, but time would not "flow" past-present-future.
