I'm pretty new to physics, and have just started really getting into it the last year or so, but I had an idea about the anatomy of a black hole.

  • I was wondering if it were possible that a black hole could be made of compressed matter, in a spherical shape, instead of a "hole."

  • Or if it were possible that the extreme gravity could somehow cause a fusion-type reaction that could turn physical matter into pure energy, which may explain the "halo" that seems to refract around the outer edges, while still pulling in light. And If this whole theory may be able to explain how particles, or radiation can also be ejected from the event horizon.

Like I said, I'm new to physics, and am still learning, and would love to make a career out of it someday, but I felt I should try and get involved more.

In classical general relativity anything inside the event horizon, whether it's matter, light, or whatever, necessarily moves inwards towards the singularity. There is no way for anything to even remain at a constant distance from the singularity, let alone move away from it. This means there cannot be any structures inside the event horizon - the only thing present is the singularity.

We expect quantum gravity effects to change this conclusion, but we have no theory of quantum gravity and there are no widely accepted ideas about what the quantum effects do.
