    Stephen Hawking Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 to Isobel and Frank Hawking in Oxford, United Kingdom. As a young boy, Stephen showed a passion for science and the sky. In his early years, Stephen was known as a bright kid outside of school. He was ranked third to last his first year at St. Albans, but that did not bother him because he had his mind set on things aside from school. Early Life Stephen Hawking is a Physics professor at Cambridge University, located

    A black vortex looking hole is speeding towards my face . I desperately try to move back but then again realizing that there is a fork in my back digging deeper and deeper. Closer and closer it gets,as I 'm trying to prepare myself for is yet to come . The hole gets closer and closer looking more like the underworld as every second passes. To my great horror the black hole sucking me in. I think to myself this is where I die. The black hole is getting closer and closer

    pull; this is what we call a black hole. There are three main parts of a black hole, the singularity, the event horizon, and the ergosphere. The singularity of a black hole is a place of infinite density and gravity, space-time curves boundlessly around this point and the laws of physics come to a halt. The event horizon is often called the point of no return. Once past this boundary of space-time, nothing can escape the gravity of the black hole. When a black hole spins,

    mass. Low mass stars, from about 0.4 up to 8 solar masses will evolve from a planetary nebula to a white dwarf. Stars with larger the 8 solar masses will form supernovae, than either a neutron star for intermediate stars (8-25 solar masses) or a black hole for high mass stars (greater than 25 solar masses). Planetary Nebulae: After a low mass star has gone through its second expansion and its core has fused from helium to carbon, and even some of it to oxygen, it contracts again from the gravitation

    Since we first gazed upon the heavens, man has been perplexed over where the bright lights in the sky have come from. This report will provide information for the birth and death of both low and high mass stars that is supported by scientifically proven statements and observations. It is the long held belief of many, that molecular clouds are the nurseries of stars. These dense clouds of gas are most often found in the spiral arms of galaxies. Obviously, smaller cloud produce low mass stars while

    Energy extraction-Blandford-Znajek In the Blandford-Znajek process the black hole essentially acts as a massive conductor rotating with a high spin in a massive magnetic field created by the accretion disk. An induced voltage exists at the poles of the black hole and its equator, resulting in the disspiation of power by the deceleration of the rotation of the black hole; the resulting in power generated equals to P ≅ (4π/μo) B2RS2c where P is the estimated power generated, B is the magnetic field

    Artificial gravity is an application of force, resulting from acceleration, that creates a sense of gravity. It is often used in space to counteract the effects of weightlessness in astronauts. Artificial gravity can be created in many ways; for example, centripetal force, a force that makes a body follow a curved path, can cause artificial gravity. If a spaceship was to rotate from its center, the force of rotation would push the astronaut in the opposite direction, causing the astronaut to experience

    thereby forming what is commonly known as a black hole, a point around which the gravitational force is too strong. Imagine a giant building, a skyscraper for example, being compacted and compressed to the size of a Rubik’s cube. This happens to the massive dying star at the end of its life. For nearly 200 years now, theorists have postulated the existence of black holes and now there is strong evidence to support that most, if not all galaxies have black holes that are essentially millions or even billions

    Although once foreign giants to man, stars live some of the most explosive lives possible. Over billions of years, the violent development of stars from conception to death is one that had perplexed mankind for a while. Though as we formed a better understanding of how they develop, humans have learned that these stellar orbs directly influence the formation of, or death of objects in the universe. Stars are phenomenal objects in our universe that are instrumental to its development. These celestial

    dark black alarm clock rang, it was 6:55 in the morning. She stayed in bed staring at the clock, until jumping out exactly at 7:00. A plain black shirt and a pair of black shorts were carefully folded on the floor, she had put them out last night, at 8:30. She had worn this yesterday, and was also planning on tomorrow. The only thing that was strange was that she didn’t wear the same clothes three days in a row, but instead this is what her closet was solely filled of. Five pairs of black shorts
