Which of statement below about black holes is not true?
A)Although we are not 100% certain that black holes exist,we have strong observational evidence in favor of their existence.
B)If you watch someone else fall into a black hole,you will never see him (or her)cross the event horizon;you'll only see him fade from view as the light he emits or reflects becomes more and more redshifted.
C)A spaceship passing near a 10-solar-mass black hole is much more likely to be destroyed than a spaceship passing at the same distance from the center of a 10-solar-mass main-sequence star.
D)If you fell into a black hole,you would experience time to be running normally as you plunged rapidly across the event horizon.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spaceship passing near a 10-solar-mass black hole would not be more likely to be destroyed than if it were passing at the same distance from the center of a 10-solar-mass main-sequence star. The gravitational force experienced by the spaceship would be the same in both cases if the distances from the centers are the same. The critical difference would be the density and physical size of the objects, not the gravitational force at a given distance.
