Reply to comment by Nervous-Ad8193 in I don’t believe in the black hole. by Rabbitlooker

You'd think we would have seen an infinitely bright object with a telescope long before we discovered a totally dark object

You’d certainly think so! It’s all just based on the idea that the laws of physics are symmetrical, so if a black hole can swallow matter and information, a white hole should be able to spew it out.

Oh it'll spit out the "matter" you were made of but I highly doubt you'd still be alive

But we really don’t know that because we don’t know what’s behind the event horizon. A supermassive black hole like Sgr A* wouldn’t spagettify you though. You could theoretically pass the event horizon alive

I thought all black holes spaghettify you? How can you determine whether they would or not

If a SMBH was large enough, the tidal forces at the event horizon could theoretically be lessened to where you could survive. But things would be really cool way before then.

Edit: this video explains it a little at the 4 minute mark (and is really cool)
