Is it possible for the matter which seems to dissapear into a black hole be squeezed into another dimension?

sure, there are many other possibilities also. i believe that they all happen at the same time.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this site as to what a dimension is.  A dimension is not an alternate reality or a parallel universe, or anything like that. A dimension is simply a direction. For instance, the first four dimensions are Length, Heighth, Depth, and Time. Diminsions(directions) beyond these four have been mathmatically postulated, but we cannot perceive them with our senses. We can only percieve time in one direction(Past), so while we "see" only three & 1/2 dimensions, there could, and probably are, others. But they are just other directions, not other worlds. So, if you sent a camera into a black hole, could you see other dimensions-no.  First, nothing we are capable of building could withstand the tidal forces of a black hole's gravitation-it would be destroyed in nano-seconds.  Secondly, no energy can escape a black hole, so we would be unable to receive any signal back-and that includes energy through a cable, folks. Lastly, even if those two obstacles could be overcome(not likely), the effects of relativistic time dialation would be so extreme that we wouldn't get a signal back until the universe ended, at which point the data would be meaningless. So we can realistically count on seeing nothing through a black hole. Be neat if we could though-who knows what we might discover?

you get a black hole.

Um...  No and Yes?\n\nThe Universe has infinate volume.  Most of this volume is empty...\n\nA Black hole has no more gravity than the star and matter that has fallen into it, so never fear that everything is going to be pulled into a single super Singularity...\n\nAs to it eventually causing another "Big Bang"...  How do we know that a "Black Hole Singularity" is the "Big Bang Singularity" of another universe?\n\nBlack Hole Theory states that a Black Hole is so massive that it gives space infinite curvature...\n\nPresuming that the multi-dimensions discussed be the Super String Concepts exist...  \n\nThen how do we know that this infinate Curvature does not extend to an infinate volume of other spacial dimensions? \n\nOr rather...  Give thought to the possibility that a Black Hole Singularity is the "Big Bang Singularity", and that our entire universe of infinate space may exist in the Black Hole in another Universe that uses diferent spacial Dimensions...\n\nThere's no evidence either way...  So to answer you question which askes for definate answers that no one can give definately, let me say...\n\nProbably not but Maybe yes...  But Maybe yes but not really...  8-)\n\n"There is more to Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy Horatio"  -Shakespeare

Steven Hawking has recently changed his view that no "information" could escape a black hole.  Current thinking is that as matter falls into a black hole, some radiation / information escapes across the event horizon.  So according to current thinking black holes are not completely "black"

This is like asking what is a box composed of that you just stuffed with items...Well whatever you put in it.\n\nWhatever the black hole has "consumed" over the course of its lifetime would be what it is made of.  It is what it eats.  The question is does the black hole change the nature of that material.  Probably, but who knows?

it can be. Because blackhole has a much faster velocity than light. It is possible that we can use blackhole to travel into another galaxy or another space that we haven't know before. Or maybe we can use blackhole as a time machine. Everything can happen, one day we can find it out. I believe that

Well let me explain it.\n\nYes there is probability. But it is very small. Theoreticians\nhave predicted a particle that on anhiliation can create a small black hole. This black hole can grow by eating nearby matter. This way, it's gravitaional pull will increase.\n\nHole ---> eats matter ----> becomes bigger  ----> eats more matter.\n\nThis way, it will eat up the whole of the universe !!\n\nBut as I said, chances are rare !!!

In all actuality, your question makes no sense.  If you were to take out all the "space" in matter, there would be no matter.  Matter is basically made out of energy and forces interacting with each other.  If you compressed the universe into the size of a refrigerator, you wouldn't have matter anymore.

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.

A black hole is not actually a hole, but a physical object in space, consisting of ultra compact particals, contained in such a small area that thier gravitational pull is much stronger than any other celestial body of comperable size....  Basically you put all the matter and gravitational pull from a large star into the volume of a small moon... particles captured by a black hole are crushed and added to its composition. This in theory includes photons (light and other energy)as well.  As for whether black holes are hoax's or not.. the answer is no... we can see their effects on star near them, including gases that are syphoned, and other gravitational interactions.  Additionally when matter approaches a black hole and is accellerated, it reaches an energy level at the even horizon where xrays are emited, but not captured, which in turn we can also detect.  Though there is much we do not know about them, they definately exist, and most likely in much greater numbers than we oringinally thought.

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.

We have no idea what happens to any matter inside a black hole. The laws of physics that we know do not apply.

hmmmm, good question, idk, ive never thought of that... i dont think so because their strong enough that the one that would be sucked into the other would be strong enough to keep itself from getting sucked in... however, that could work the other way too, their strong enough that the one thats sucking it inwould be strong enough to do it, y'know?? but that brings up another question, which black hole is getting sucked in??wouldnt they both be sucking eachother in therfore getting rid of both black holes from ever existing??but then where would they go after they both suck eachother up?? wow, thats mindboggling, anyway, good luck on finding out the answer, i think you found one question that cant be answered.

As you probably already know, you just can't get a black hole without a certain amount of mass.\n\nBut if this is science fiction, and you wanted to just posit that you could make a moon-massed black hole, then for the most part, the moon would act the same.  If you were, say, navigating around a black hole, you wouldn't treat it any differntly from a star of the same mass.  Things only get wonky one you break the event horizon.  But outside of that, your moon hole would just act like a dark moon-massed object.\n\nAs far as Hawking radiation, if I remember correctly, Hawking suggested that it might be possible for mini-black holes to have formed in the beginning of the universe, and they might have masses less than a standard black hole.  And I think he did suggest that the smaller the black hole is, the faster it evaporates due to Hawking radiation.  So it would not be a huge stretch to say that your moon-sized black whole could dissipate quickly.

It depends what you mean by small and volume.\n\nIf by small you mean mass, then for a black hole to form spontaneously by gravitational collapse it requires a minimum of around 6 solar masses (6 times the mass of our sun). In principle you could forcibly compress matter to form a smaller black hole, but in practice it is not clear how - or whether - you could do this.\n\nVolume is more complex. If you mean the volume contained by the Schwarzchild radius (or event horizon) then this can be very large indeed - many times the volume of our solar system for the black hole belived to be at the centre of the galaxy. \n\nIf you mean the volume of the collapsed matter, then this is zero, because a black hole is a singularity.

first of all, what u consider as dark matter is wrong. dark matter is not some hi-fi stuff which is highly radioactive or has some special properties. its just ordinary matter which cant be seen. secondly to ur question.. the outer limit of a black hole is called schwarzchild radius. when any matter approaches this limit, it cant escape whatsoever. ok, now our matter is in the black hole. first of all, 50% of the mass of the material gets converted into x-rays and other high energy radiation. of the remaining half, some part is used up in the fusion process, while the remaning part is used up in the expansion of the black hole. \nand because black hole is just an ordinary star with extraordinary high density, there is no such thing as a whilte hole. if u meant to say something like blackhole made up of antimatter which attracts matter and mutually anhilates, then may be ur question (2) makes sense.
