Tel Aviv University (TAU) may provide some answers. However, the way is for sure long. But what was recently detected by TAU scientists is breathtaking. Yes, there is a life after a black hole digests you. How could it be? The black hole as the ultimate challenge for resilience might be answered in Israel.
The press release gives some explanations: “Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU), together with international collaborators, have identified what may be the first confirmed case of a star surviving an encounter with a supermassive black hole—and returning.

The finding is based on a newly observed flare that closely resembles AT 2022dbl, another flare recorded from the same location about two years earlier, suggesting that both were caused by the same star making two separate passes near the black hole.
According to the research team, this discovery challenges existing assumptions about the fate of stars that wander too close to black holes and may reshape how astronomers interpret these rare and powerful events.”
The study was conducted by Dr. Lydia Makrygianni, formerly a postdoctoral researcher at Tel Aviv University and currently a researcher at Lancaster University in the UK. She led the research under the supervision of Prof. Iair Arcavi, a faculty member in the Astrophysics Department at TAU and Director of the Wise Observatory in Mitzpe Ramon.
The big question is not a mathematical one, but a philosophical one. After all, from a philosophical point of view, the question of what a black hole is remains unanswered and becomes even more relevant.
