Algo Extraño Sucede Cuando Sigues las Matemáticas de Einstein
Veritasium en español・29 minutes read
Objects entering a black hole appear frozen at the event horizon, with light dimming until invisible, as described by Einstein's field equations and Schwarzschild's solution, leading to the concept of black holes. Oppenheimer and Snyder's work showed that stars beyond the Chandrasekhar limit could collapse into black holes, with diagrams illustrating spatial distortions and the potential for wormholes allowing interstellar travel, despite skepticism due to exotic matter requirements.
Insights
- Objects entering a black hole freeze at the event horizon, their light dims, reddens, and disappears, showcasing the extreme spacetime curvature that nothing, not even light, can escape, leading to the concept of black holes.
- Einstein's equations predict black holes, white holes, and parallel universes, with space-time curvature affecting object motion, challenging Newton's gravity theory, yet the existence of wormholes for interstellar travel remains skeptical due to the need for exotic matter with negative energy density, contradicting known physics laws.

"Black Holes: Frozen Time and Invisible Light"
- Objects entering a black hole appear frozen in time at the event horizon, with their light dimming and reddening until it fades completely.
- Light emitted from objects crossing the event horizon is redshifted and eventually fades, making them invisible.
- The general theory of relativity, based on Einstein's equations, predicts black holes and their opposites, white holes, along with parallel universes and potential travel between them.
- Newton's theory of gravity had flaws, leading to Einstein's discovery that mass curves spacetime, affecting the motion of objects.
- Einstein's field equations describe the curvature of spacetime due to matter and energy distribution, involving complex calculations and integrals.
- Schwarzschild's solution to Einstein's equations described spacetime curvature around a mass, leading to the concept of black holes.
- Black holes have singularities at the center and a Schwarzschild radius where nothing, not even light, can escape due to extreme spacetime curvature.
- White dwarfs form from collapsing stars due to electron degeneracy pressure, preventing complete collapse.
- Neutron stars sustain themselves through neutron degeneracy pressure, with a maximum mass limit beyond which they collapse into black holes.
- Oppenheimer and Snyder's work showed that heavier stars beyond the Chandrasekhar limit could collapse into black holes, with time freezing at the event horizon.

"Mapping Black Holes: Einstein's Analysis Revealed"
- Einstein analyzed equations and questioned the formation of black holes due to the inability to cross a certain frontier.
- Diagrams represent a projection of four-dimensional curved space-time onto a 2D map, akin to mapping Earth on a 2D surface.
- Different projections distort sizes and shapes, like Mercator and Peters projections.
- Changing spatial coordinates eliminates the singularity at the event horizon, allowing objects to enter black holes.
- Space is likened to flowing towards a black hole, with photons struggling against the current.
- Photons barely escape the horizon due to space falling faster than the speed of light.
- A Penrose diagram illustrates space flowing into a static black hole, with a singularity as a moment in time.
- The diagram collapses the universe into a single map, showing where one can go and what lies beyond.
- White holes expel matter, contrasting black holes, with a potential for parallel universes.
- Rotating black holes present complex structures, including layers and asymmetry due to rotation.

"Black Holes and Wormholes: Theoretical Possibilities"
- Black holes are theorized to exist due to the concentration of energy along the inner horizon of a black hole, creating its own singularity and sealing the singularity of the ring, potentially making it impossible to pass through.
- Wormholes, as analyzed by Michael Morris and K Thorn in 1987, could allow for interstellar travel and connection between different parts of the universe or even different universes, but the requirement of exotic matter with negative energy density goes against the laws of physics, leading to skepticism about their existence.
