On the possibility of transverse Tidal effects on Hawking Radiation

StephenPaulKIng (talk) 22:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC) Have any calculations or arguments been made on the possibility of a blue shift on the hawking radiation close to event horizons due to transverse tidal effects? This possibility is discussed in this essay.

Is spaghettification correct

Wouldn’t the spacetime containing the matter itself “spaghettify”? Therefore how would an astronaut notice anything different? The space they are in is stretching, not just them. 86.93.208.34 (talk) 23:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This question belongs on the Reference Desk, not article talk page. Thank you. 68.174.155.22 (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pancaking

After several attempts by user 178.66.158.209 (talk · contribs) to add content relating to pancaking, an alleged opposite to the article subject, and after a number of warnings at User talk:178.66.156.135 and User talk:178.66.158.209, I did some reverts [1], [2], [3]. Finally I restored last known good. Comment welcome. - DVdm (talk) 21:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per Bold, revert, discuss its up the the editor adding the content to make their case now. Johnjbarton (talk) 22:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a bad attempt to explain Lorentz contraction that mixes up a pop-science explanation of a wild conjecture with the actual phenomenon. Good removal. XOR'easter (talk) 02:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutron stars

Who got rid of the spaghettification by neutron stars? 174.103.211.175 (talk) 02:03, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did in this edit.

My edit summary: Delete off topic unsourced section.

Off topic because the section was about tidal forces, not spaghettification directly. Unsourced means I could not fix by reading the refs, there were none. Johnjbarton (talk) 02:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are refs? 174.103.211.175 (talk) 02:44, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:sources. Unfortunately it's not clear to me if "spaghettification" is a real word. I've only found very marginal sources that use it. Hawking never uses the term, only "stretched out like spaghetti". Consequently I guess you will not be able to find references for hypothetical spaghettification by neutron stars.

Here it mentions the phenomenon. It certainly doesn't sound pleasant. 174.103.211.175 (talk) 17:04, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The Science Alert article is describing a video and these are generally put in External references. I added an entry. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:20, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
