Black Holes and Shadow Magic

If It hit you at light speed you wouldn’t feel a thing.

Given you’re close enough space would distort.

Never claimed it did, I don’t really think you understand the scope of this argument, you’re confusing the visibility of accretion disks with the visibility of a black hole.

I only claimed it was invisible to the naked eye, never claimed it was invisible to anything else. Our eyes can’t see the light it emits similar to how you can’t see radiation nor radio waves, does that mean said radiation is completely black to you? No, you literally can’t see it since visible light doesn’t come from it.

Also it’s an extremely common misconception that I actually thought too until a friend explained to me otherwise, here’s a 2 second google search


People tend to believe that the fact that accretion disks are visible to the actual black hole being visible as black but that’s far from the case like how I showed earlier

You’re not actually finding a black hole anywhere here but you can calculate where it would be and even that was theoretical until people could finally take a photo of an accretion disk in 2019.

ok cool so a rock with vantablack paint on it is invisible because you cant see the infrared it emits

The rock isn’t visible since it’s covered in paint, the paint is visible since it does emit and reflect visible light. Based on the paint you can infer to the existence of the rock but there’d be few other ways to confirm that the object under the paint is a rock.

so, the tiny miniscule amount of light particles that >>>>VANTABLACK<<<< may reflect, is why the paint is visible, and appears black, and is why i can see it, rather than whatever is behind the rock?

yes and it not distorting time and space might also have something to do with it
Also the fact that it emits VISIBLE light particles

a negligible amount that cannot be detected with the naked eye

Except you can because the light particles are in fact on the visible spectrum… All blacks you see are just extremely extremely dark greys.

gonna get to what i think is the heart of why you think black holes are invisible
not emitting visible light =/= invisible. simple fact.

Untrue, if it emits no visible light then it is in fact invisible to the naked eye


Both are a check

incorrect. invisible objects do not effect light in any way.
objects that do not emit light can still absorb light, or bend light around them.

They bend light…

Yes but they aren’t invisible because they emit it

ok gonna look at your previous post

you’re implying black holes “bend light so that they produce no shadow” black holes bend light, but not in a way so that they produce no shadow.

But they produce no shadow, and it does bend around them…

incorrect

not in a way so that it produces no shadow

Show me a shadow of a black hole…

Or do you not even know what a shadow is?

ok

red outline is the shadow

That’s a part close to the accretion disk, it’s just called the shadow of the black hole.

shouldnt i be able to see the part of the accretion disk behind the black hole? there not being any part of the accretion disk in the middle doesnt account for how dramatically dark the middle area is
