The Idea Of Black Holes

The existence of black holes was first theorized by John Mitchell in 1783. Mitchell accepted Newton’s laws of gravity and suggested that light escaping from the surface of a star would have its speed reduced due to the gravitation pull of the star, and therefore if a star’s gravitation pull was strong enough even light would not be able to escape.[1] Using the approximate speed of light he reasoned that if an object was approximately 500 times the mass of the sun light would not be able

This paper will introduce you to the incredible topic which is black holes. A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing can escape from inside it. (NASA) No human has ever entered a black hole and there is still a large mystery about them; we have very little idea of where the matter that enters them goes. A black hole cannot be looked into either, as it sucks all the light into the middle of it. Space programs use special satellites with certain features that allow them to see these black holes. A black hole can be big or small, sometimes forming when a star is dying. Some scientists speculate that there can be black holes just 1 centimeter large. There are multiple types of

Black holes are some of unusual and most interesting objects found in outer space. The first thing I learned, black holes are objects of the greatest density due to the strong gravity because mater has been squeezed into a tiny space. With the black holes relationships with mass and gravity, they have an extremely powerful gravitational force that even light cannot escape from their grasp if it comes near enough. Second thing I learned is about the inner region of a black hole, where its mass lies, is known as its singularity, the single pint in space-time where the mass of the black hole is concentrated. The third thing I learned that I found the most fascinating is if the earth ever falls into a black hole, one of the effect that will happen is “spaghettification,” which means if objects come too close to a black hole, it will stretch out, just like a spaghetti. This effect is brought about by a gravitational gradient across the object or a body. For example, if earth comes too close to a black hole, the nearest part of the planet will be pulled by an enormous gravitational pull, while leaving the farthest part with a small gravitational force. The fourth thing I learned is that the new hypothesis suggests that anything that touches a black hole will become an

Discovered in 1916 by Albert Einstein, a black hole is an area of space-time showing very strong effects, that nothing can escape from the black hole. Space-time is the belief that there is no time in space, so there is no aging or time whatsoever. There are three different types of black holes. Stellar-mass, supermassive, and intermediate. All three are very strong, but the supermassive is currently the strongest reported. Not all black holes are large, but extremely powerful. The supermassive black holes are the biggest type of black hole and most of the time are found in the center of massive galaxies. Stellar-mass black holes are formed by a star collapsing. Intermediate black holes are stronger than stellar-mass black holes, but weaker than supermassive. Supermassive is the least common black hole there is.

Later on, he accomplished and developed the general theories of relativity which “helped make predictions concerning light and gravitation” (“Albert Einstein”. 5). Einstein’s first prediction was “that a red shift is produced if light passes through an intense gravitational field, and this was subsequently detected in astronomical observations in 1925. The second was a prediction that the apparent positions of stars would shift when they are seen near the sun because the sun’s intense gravity would bend the light rays from the stars as they pass the sun” (5).Later on, “one of the deep

Have you ever heard of something getting sucked up in a black hole? Did it ever cross your mind as to what a black hole actually was? Well, a black hole is a rather large star that underwent a supernova explosion and since there was no gravity it collapsed in on itself. It is a big hole of nothingness that stays in outer space but does not suck up everything. Now lets get into more of the facts about black holes.

Unbeknownst to Sarah Carpenter, the FBI was keeping tabs on her by eavesdropping on her phone calls and following her movements. They didn’t know how much information about himself, Roger Nelson had shared with her. But, just to be safe, the FBI wanted to be sure she didn’t muddle things of for them by talking too much. If Sarah knew the NSA was watching her, she would be explosive in her outrage, although in the final analysis she could do nothing about it, even if the FBI’s actions were illegal.

Black holes are one of the many amazing unexplainable wonders around the world. Black holes are also very abundant in many galaxies especially the Milky Way. There is believed to be at least over ten million black holes scattered around the Milky Way galaxy alone. In every galaxy there is a supermassive black hole that is at least billions of times as big as the sun and it is big enough to swallow the whole solar system.

Chris raised his glass high in the air, sloshing a little bit down his arm. Dan chuckled as he raised his as well, along with Louise, Cat, and PJ.

Black holes should probably not be called black holes. In fact, black holes are anything but empty space. Black holes are a great amount of matter packed and squeezed into a very small area. The result of this amount of matter squeezed into a small area results in a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.

"Please, don't do anything stupid. Just forget everything I said because you are the most important thing in the world to Shay and I know that he would never get better if something happened to you." Bender mumbled and cupped my face in his hands. I nodded, but didn't say anything.

I walked around cautiously hoping not to get caught. Dang. Walked around three hours before I got that baby. God. I was like a tiger watchin its prey. Ahh I can't get over wutta beauty she was, the switchblade I'd always wanted. All black n silver shiney. I wanted it. So I took it, gally, I didn't care if I was stealing, I wanted her badly, and I got it. Anything I ever want, I get. The workers were staring at me the whole time so I had to be careful. As soon as she was in my hands and I walked out the door I felt like I'd just won a grand prize of some sort.

Scientists in the USA have seen something amazing in space for the very first time. They saw gravitational waves. These are waves that form in space and travel outwards. The waves are similar to how ripples in water move outwards after you throw a stone in a lake. The gravitational waves in space start when two giant space objects hit each other. Albert Einstein first spoke about waves in space in 1916 when he made his General Theory of Relativity. One hundred years later, the researchers have proved that Einstein's theory was right. The researchers used powerful technology to see the gravitational waves. Einstein did not have this technology. He used his genius to predict that the waves existed.

In the 1930s, he was the first to write papers suggesting the existence of what we today call black holes.

The prediction of radiation from black holes was the first nontrivial result of combining Einstein's general relativity with the quantum principle (Thorne, 15). It showed that gravitational collapse was not as much of a dead end as it had appeared to be. The particles in the black hole need not have an end of their histories at a singularity. Instead, they could escape from the black hole and continue their histories outside. Maybe the quantum principle would mean that one could also avoid the histories having a beginning in time, a point of creation, at the big bang. (Black Holes and Baby Universes, 83)
