Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Inside Astronomically Realistic Black Holes

I will use a real-time general relativistic Black Hole Flight Simulator to show what really happens inside astronomically realistic black holes. The inner horizon of a rotating black hole is the most violent place in the Universe, easily reaching and surpassing energy densities attained in the Big Bang. What does Nature do at this extraordinary place?
