Comment on Black Holes
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThe original comment were referring to the ring singularity which is different from the accretion disk.
The singularity is unseen, we suppose it’s a ring in rotating back holes, but we have no idea. As anything inside the event horizon, we cannot see what’s going on in there.
The accretion disk is the disk of matter falling into the black hole, it’s outside the event horizon and can be observed.

Supposing the singularity as an unidimensional something what we don’t know. In any case we can’t see the black hole as such, but the gravitation it causes, form a sphere arround the singularity, visible as such by the accretion disk. If not, we only can observe an black hole by its influence, eg, the gravitation lense effect.
