What happens when space and time reverse on the interior of a black hole?

i was always under the impression that you will move fast enough in a black hole to actually move backwards in time, but because the gravity is so massive, you would never be able to escape, no matter how far back you were to go.  that is, if you were able to live, and your body isn't torn apart.  parts of your body closer to the core of a black hole supposedly would be pulled at a greater rate than parts of your body that are farther from the core.  personally, i don't believe that would happen, i believe the whole body would be pulled towards the center, and move backwards in time until it died of thirst.

Rather dark in there. No, it is a time warp continuum where all of the old Star Trek episodes have gone. Black holes were created so we would not have to watch old episodes over and over.\n\nGoing in means never coming back because the creators do not want you bringing any of the episodes back with you.\n\nSince the claim is that nothing escapes it, all input as to what it looks like is conjecture.

First of all, you'd be stretched. Believe it or not, they call this process "spaghettification". Because gravity increases as you get closer, and a black hole has an amazing amount of gravity, your feet (assuming you're falling in foot-first) would fall faster than your head. When you reached the singularity, you'd be squished into a speck.\n\nThe weird part is that the people watching you from the ship would never see you go in. Once you reach the Schwarzschild radius, light itself cannot escape from the gravity. The light rays reflecting off of you would never reach back to the ship. Gravity bends light, so when the gravity is that huge, light bends 180 degrees backwards into the hole.\n\nAlso, relativity kicks in when the gravity is that high. People from the ship would see you fall in, slower and slower, until you stopped, because of time dilation. You'd see billions of years go by in an instant because of the same thing.\n\nAs for the wormhole thing, no one knows if they exist; they are purely speculation. Regardless, you'd be dead long before you'd ever come out somewhere else.

assume that just for 1 second gravity goes off and comes back, what will happen??? is it possible??? no funky answers please. genuine replies are appreciated.

According to general relativity, the matter inside a black hole collapses to a single point: a "singularity".  At this point, the mass density (ρ = m/V) is undefined (because the volume of a single point is zero). \nWe have a lot to learn about extreme cases such as this.

only if its back is turned

The only way you could answer yes to this question is for an outside observer. What I mean is, inside a strong enough gravity field, time will appear to slow down from an outside observer's point of view. However, you will not notice the effects from inside and time will pass normally for you.

A warp cushion, the space of where a worm hole used to be leaves a different time around it and inside it.\nThe bubble like on Lost in Space is possible. Time holds space not Space holds Time otherwise we wouldn't be here now.

In theory it affects the passage of time aboard the vessel IF it travels in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation... I suggest you read some Stephen Hawking.

Those would be changes that simultaneously affect time and space.  For example, if the mass of a black hole increases by swallowing a star, that would affect the curvature of space-time around the black hole.\n\nDoes that answer your question?  A few more details would help us to answer you better.

Actually time does NOT move forwards or backwards. Don't confuse "motion related" terminology that we use to describe our perception of time with reality.\n\nSo what is time? It is true that our current theories of physics are time invariant, which is just a fancy way of saying that it doesn't matter if time is "moving" forward or backward (here I am using your terminology to say that it doesn't matter if the process is progressing into the future or is regressing back into the past). However, we know that in the real world, things don't regress back into the past, i.e. broken pieces of objects don't spontaneously come together and fix itself. So this fact tells us that the Universe does have a prefer direction even if our physical theories don't.\n\nBut that still does NOT tell us what is time. It just tells us that there is a prefer direction (this direction is related to Entropy as others have said). Still, you may be right in saying that perhaps everything happens all at the same instant, or a better way to say this is that everything that will happen has already happened (i.e. time doesn't really exist). It may be that it is just our perception, our consciousness that give us the illusion of time moving into the future.\n\nThe most definitive description that I know of time is from Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which describes space and time together as one entity, and spacetime forms the fabric of reality. It is the stage onto which real events can occur and all of existence is defined. But this fabric is dynamic and interacts with matter and energy (the very stuff which can only exist because of spacetime), meaning that matter and energy can affect spacetime.\n\nThis is quite an amazing fact. We usually think of time as something that just "happens". We don't have any influence on it. But Einstein says NO. We may not have a great impact on it, but there are objects in the Universe that does affect spacetime greatly. An example is a blackhole, which warps spacetime.

you're thinking of a worm hole. a black hole will, as far as we know tear things apart to as it takes them to a different part of our universe, which doesnt make sense because nothing can escape from them. Anyway, a worm hole, which is theoretical -mostly- is like two black holes connected at their vertex's. think of the universe as a thin sheet of paper. one black hole is is on the right side, and another on the left. fold the piece of paper so that the black holes are lines up. instead of traveling from point A to point B, you just go through space in manner of speaking from point A to point B "just like that". there really isnt any just like that, but that's as best i can describe it with out actually showing you. sorry if this makes no sense.

Time would stop and or reverse for you and your spacecraft, but time on the earth would continue to move forward.  Actually when you stopped you would be far into the future because years would be passing on the earth in seconds of time on your spacecraft.  Common theory is that you can not travel faster than the speed of light.  The reason for this is that the closer to the speed of light that you travel your volume gets exponentially smaller and your mass gets exponentially larger.  So that at the speed of light you would need an infinite amount of fuel to propel an infinite mass that has a volume of zero.  Essentially you would be disintegrated at the speed of light.

in a sense everything you go by is moving in reverse....\nit is travling behind you and further away

assuming you are far enough from the singularity to not be pulled apart the light would seem normal.\n\nTheres a hitch though.  I believe that inside black holes that massive amounts of light / photons exist and you would be blinded by entering it.  I have posted my idea on another question if you care to look it up.\n\nNow to the hitch.  Lets imagine yours is the only light and you could see it for an infinite distance.  In time it would look as if the light was being bent to in the rotation that you had shined it.  The reason for this is that the black hole has warped the space time or the fabric of space, so the light will be following the contours of the warped fabric.\n\nYou would not die after entering a black hole.. well not instantly.  but as you traveled towards the singularity your speed would reach light speed.  at which time, time to you would stop and you would never notice that you had been pulled apart by the absolutely huge gravitational difference between your head and your feet.

Enstien modeled the space-time as a fabric that can stretch and squeeze when an object is laid on it. The heavier the object, the more it curves the space-time fabric. As the object’s mass tends to infinity (black-hole), the curvature will tend to a hole (wormhole).\n\nAnti-gravity, aka exotic energy (negative energy), has an opposite effect to the space-time fabric. So if you happen to discover how to make this negative energy, you would be able to open up a wormhole and keep it open. Theoretically that is!\n\nIf you fancy to read the mathematics of this theory, I suggest you do the General Relativity graduate course… I must warn it has serious hardcore mathematics. Here’s a link:\n\nhttp://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/diff_geom/tc.html

Nothing; the "hole" in space isn't like a hole in your shirt, but rather like a giant pit.  What falls in stays in (of course, this is a three-dimensional hole that sucks stuff in from all directions, but we'll stick with the hole-in-the-ground analogy for simplicity)\n\nWhat has been discovered mathematically by people like Hawking and Chandrasekhar is that black holes actually do give off radiation (so-called Hawking radiation) through its effects on local space-time right at the event horizon.  At this specific region of space, charged pairs of virtual particles appear, and every now and then, rather than rejoining and annihilating each other in a tiny flash of light, one particle escapes and goes flying off away from the black hole while the other gets drawn in.  The escaping particle is considered matter, while the one getting drawn in becomes antimatter.  As the antimatter reaches the center of the black hole, it cancels an equal mass of matter and the black hole gets infinitessimally smaller.  An old black hole (one that has consumed all the matter in its vicinity) therefore gradually "evaporates" over a VERY LONG TIME (about 10^61 times the age of the Universe for a 30 solar mass black hole!) until its mass is so small that its gravity is no longer strong enough to hold in light, and it may do any number of things -- explode, fade out and become a really big hunk of red-hot metallic stuff, sit and remain a giant, dark gravity well... depends on what kind of math you like and the current theories at the time you calculate it.
