How can matter fall into the singularity of even past the event horizon at all? If someone approaching the event horizon would see for the first time, the rest of the universe speed up infinitely. Hawking radiation shouldn't any matter falling towards the event horizon either be instantly turned into Hawking radiation in its own time frame or simply ride the event horizon down as the black hole evaporates away. Neither one of these would allow you to go to the singularity, which is something physics can't currently explain anyway.
Are entangled particles connected by wormholes? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer a grab bag of questions about the Fermi Paradox, Dinosaurs v. Aliens, our cosmological horizon, and more!
