Gravity is not an attraction. It's caused by massive objects warping spacetime.
That's another way of describing it.
My point is that gravitation isn't a thing, it's a phenomenon. It just is its effects.
I don't think we have any evidence to support that view. The first law of chemistry & physics: matter can neither be created no destroyed. The Einstein E=mc^2 equation that gave rise to nuclear energy is an obvious exception, matter being converted directly into energy. I believe that the gravitational & magnetic forces inside the black hole renders matter into a plasma of fundamental atomic particles & gamma (X) rays. If we can identify such a source via astronomy a case could be made that we're looking at the 'other' side of a black hole existing either in an alternative universe or elsewhere in our own. Only a special probe could determine whether or not this was true.
I really can't give a credible opinion here. It's because I believe the laws of physics within a black hole are likely different than that outside. It's similar to trying to explain the physics in the initial moment of the big bang. Or like trying to understand the physics of the singularity that produced the big bang.
We've gone from Newtonian Mechanics, to Quantum Mechanics, to Relativity. And every leaped forward negated much of the rules previously in place. So who knows how many more leaps we may make, before we understand the physics of a black hole? I surely can't render a guess!
There's no reason to think conversation of total mass-energy would be violated in a black hole. Conversation of mass-energy isn't violated in either General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics. There's also no reason to think that black holes are a "portal" to anything. That's a creation of science fiction. Also, mass and energy are interchangeable, they're governed by a constant relation (E=mc^2), so they are just different ways of describing the same phenomenon. It's not possible for energy to exist apart from matter.
