I think the observations expected at the event horizon are one thing (and we have the never ending story ..or our observation will be eternal because of the problem of light escaping...however the sums say upon my understanding that time really stops in a black hole..what this means I have no idea but the wonderful thing about the sums is the interesting things one can extend the sums to include namely time... and as I say the sums tell us that in a black hole time stops GR either says it stops or not.. I am sure that is what is says so either I have it wrong or that is the way of it... I have seen comentary from true believers that one can expect to be able to time travell using the science relating to black holes... ticks me off but that sort of stuff is out there and not on crack pot sites but put forward by legit folks..have a look around the science daily site or the like and you will find an article along those lines... fits into the same box as worm holes..crap from extrapolation of the sums I feel.
still we need to make physics exciting so we grasp at such nonsence maybe.
To get a worm hole simply fold the space time grid as if it were a sheet of paper (which is what these notions are drawn upon) and we can connect one part of space to another... thats ok but what happens to the other sides of the universe .. the universe can not be folded like the paper that these ideas are drawn upon...
I dont care how sophisticated these ideas are they do not add up and because most folk have little idea they bow to these crazy notions as representing legitimate science... GR got up..ie took the noble peace prize with no observation or experiment and I question such an approach.. and although it has merit it can not extrapolate notions that we can bend space so as to connect unrelated parts of the universe as easily as folding a sheet of paper..but if paper is all you have ever worked with such a notion seems reasonable but for me the universe is more complex than 2d.
