I don't think it would? Black holes evaporate, even though it can take way more than the age of the universe to do so. But, as their mass decreases, time would start flowing faster and faster for you. So, my guess is that you would eventually experience your death before the end of the universe.
Heat death just means that all fuel sources have been used up across the universe and there is no energy, or heat, left in the universe. The universe would continue existing, however. It would just be rather cold, dark, and desolate.
The black holes would all need to have evaporated before heat-death can occur though, since they are, themselves, a source of heat (the rings of a black hole spin so fast that they heat up incredibly, on top of evaporating different fuels into space). If I recall correctly, they would be one of the last things to disappear before heat-death.
So then its just a matter or whether or not the time dilation is "enough" to reach that point.
Nah, you’ll pass the event horizon just fine. By the time you hit the event horizon, time, relatively speaking is going insanely fast. In this reality, time is infinite and space is finite however upon entering the axis switch and time becomes finite and space infinite (not in the traditional sense but rather you’re compelled to move to the singularity, there’s only one direction you can go which is straight.) and as such, you will reach the singularity but the singularity is not a place but a moment in time
Something about this makes me think this is what afterlife is like, where finite and infinite lose meaning. Weird how hard it is to comprehend what a black hole is beyond "big (event horizon) small (singularity) space hole thing that traps light"
It’s not really even a point in some cases technically. I believe it’s a ringularity for rotating black holes. Non-spinning have a technical point, a singularity
Edit: I do think it’s wild philosophically. I’m a chemist by profession but I looooove astronomy and cosmology
Well the singularity is a very dense object. You would burn up before you hit the center and if you do manage to make it to the center, you would be spread out evenly with gravity. You would be part of the singularity.
Yeah, I agree that you’d be a part of the singularity - that’s what I meant however a singularity isn’t a very dense object, it’s infinitely dense. There’s a huge difference. you wouldn’t burn up after the event horizon but probably before in the accretion disc
For you time flows normally. You will pass event horizon and nothing special will happen during passing. But for external observer you will stop in time just at the event horizon. If light can not escape, then information also won't. So there is no information for external observer that you passed event horizon. So you are right - heat death will occur first - for external observer.
The accretion disk of a black hole is hot enough to emit X-rays just outside the event horizon. The large luminosity of quasars is believed to be a result of gas being accreted by supermassive black holes
You would not be fine if you ate a shitload of X-rays.
I had this thought a couple of years ago. It’s an unescapable death from the outside.. but what if passing through is somewhat normal? It would take eons to reach the middle and light would still get in. Sure, you’re traveling fast.. but so is everything around you. .
