Black holes challenge our notion of reality from "summary" of Reality Is Not What It Seems by Carlo Rovelli
Black holes are among the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. These structures, predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, are regions of space where gravity is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape. Everything that falls into a black hole is thought to be crushed to an infinitesimal point at its center, known as a singularity. This extreme distortion of space and time poses a profound challenge to our understanding of reality. The concept of black holes goes against our everyday intuition and challenges the very notions of space and time that we take for granted. In the presence of a black hole, the usual rules of physics break down, and the fabric of spacetime becomes warped and twisted in ways that are difficult to comprehend. The idea that a massive object can collapse into an infinitely dense point challenges our conventional understanding o...
