Beyond the Event Horizon: the “end” of our knowledge?

<p>Could black holes be the ultimate&nbsp;<em>wall&nbsp;</em>of nature? Could they be the most extreme objects and the most unknown? Are they the&nbsp;<em>final stage</em>&nbsp;of knowledge?</p> <p>For years, black holes have been studied, first from the mathematical point of view, emerging from Albert Einstein&rsquo;s&nbsp;<strong>General Relativity</strong>&nbsp;equations, and then from the observational point of view, given that we had a lot of indirect proofs of their existence but not yet a definite one. Up to 2019, when the&nbsp;<strong>Event Horizon Telescope&nbsp;</strong>collected the data used to release the first-ever image of the black hole in the galaxy M87, followed by that of the black hole inside our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. So, they exist and they do not represent only a &ldquo;mysterious&rdquo; mathematical solution anymore. But,<em>&nbsp;what really are they</em>?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@sam.campitiello/beyond-the-event-horizon-the-end-of-our-knowledge-3146186a2da0"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
