Welcome to the series of Journey to the Black Hole:- (Part - 4)
It is believed that a moving or spinning Black Hole might create what is known as a "Wormhole" a way of transitioning across space faster than light.
Not in anyway that violates the laws of science, but in a way that takes advantage of the Universe's dimensions.
For instance, if I wanted to get from one point to the another point, I'd have to travel the distance. But, theoretically, Wormhole would do something really crazy. For instance, this

Now, the two points are right next to each other and I can travel between them almost instantaneously. But again, this is all theoretical. Luckily, we do have a possible way of analyzing Black Hole right here on Earth.
Enter the "Dumb Hole". Just as a Black Hole does not permit light to escape, a Dumb Hole is an acoustic Black Hole.

It won't allow sound to escape. It doesn't have to be nearly as powerful and scientists have been able to create Dumb Holes in laboratories using special fluids travelling at the speed of sound. A lot of progress still needs to be made in the world of acoustic Black Holes, but we may be able to learn an amazing amount of information about Black Holes work by looking at how sound is treated in a Dumb Holes.
Now, here's another good question - What would it look to travel at the speed of light, say toward the Sun?
Well surprisingly, you would just see the Sun immediately rush up toward you................
No, no, no...
In fact, initially it would look almost as if the Sun were receding way from you!!!
Why??
Because your field of view would be able to see stuff almost behind you. And here's why.
As you sit there, not moving yet, looking at the Sun, there's light coming from the stuff behind you. But if you travel the speed of light, you will be actually reach that light coming from things behind you. As you reached light speed, your field of view would expand.(like concentrating the stuff in the middle?)
