Event Horizon

A circumferential plane surrounding a hyper-dense area (i.e., a singularity [1]) past which objects and/or information cannot escape [2]. Seen through the lens of the "black hole information paradox", event horizons are simply infinite fields of information dislodged from their original source, suspended in time for all of eternity. Scientists posit that observers passing through a sufficiently massive black hole's event horizon are given a choice - surrender to the infinitude of frozen information or experience the excruciating spaghettification of reality. Though virtually all black hole event horizons would appear colorless to the naked eye - it has become standard in composite photos to portray them as a stunning ring of turquoise.

Diagram: Space as the x-axis; Time as the y-axis. The Event Horizon marks a vertical border on the right hand side, whence sprawls a void (the Black Hole) containing only 5 thin white arrows, stretching upward in both space and time.
An artist's rendition of an event horizon - a wispy, turquoise almost-circle fluttering and pulsing in the void of space.
  1. When reality folds in on itself. When, in a moment, memory is so imprinted as to then reorient every moment following around it. To arrange each future possibility, realized or unrealized, solely by its proximity to that singular moment - in grotto or on beach.
  2. It should be noted that the "black hole event horizon" concept, as commonly understood and represented, is teleological in nature, and therefore fundamentally theoretical. Systems able to circumvent this paradox are in development and include, notably, quantum loop gravity.
