    There are two types of black holes that exist in our universe. The first one being the Schwarzschild black hole which happens to be the simplest one of the two. This black hole is considered the simplest because its core does not rotate which means the black hole is completely stable at all times of the day. The next black hole is the Kerr black hole, which happens to be the most common in nature. This black hole in contrast to the Schwarzschild black hole does indeed rotate. When the rotating star

    written by Brian Greene starts off talking about something called Quantum Mechanics and how it relates to Albert Einstein and his theory of relativity. Then gets into how modern Physicist and even leading up to the 1900’s people have either a really small Cosmos or a really big one. By the end of the chapter he tries to put quantum mechanics to law or relativity together to create superstring theory. The theory is confusing and somewhat hard to understand.But from my understanding it is how the universe

    Like the boundaries on earth, mankind has always looked to the sky in awe for it seemed boundless in its ever growing horizon. Out of all the cosmos that’s being found and discovered every day, there is one object that stands to elude scientists still, the black hole. Albert Einstein, and all the brilliant scientists after his, help to design and create a part of the universe that’s very crucial to understanding existence. The perimeters of a black hole have been a great this that has been discussed

    Prize in 1921, because of his explanation of the photoelectric effect. He also was awarded the Max Planck medal by the German Physical Society in 1929, and the Franklin Institute’s, Franklin medal for his work on the photoelectric effect and general relativity. Finally, the Albert Einstein Memorial is in Washington D.C. It is a large bronze statue that shows Albert Einstein sitting with papers in his hands. Many of Albert Einstein’s discoveries have played a large role in today’s society. Most people

    Albert Einstein, one of the most recognized and well known scientists. His theories solved centuries-old problems in physics, even non-physicists' for example philosophy in the science field, overall he changed the view of the world. He was born in march 14 1879 in Ulm Germany. In Albert Einstein's early years he wasn't far from average. Actually his parents became worried about him since he had trouble learning how to speak. In his early years despite of being Jewish, his parents sent him to a

    German-born Emmy Noether. Known primarily for her profound theorems in ring theory, Emmy Noether's most significant achievement runs deeper: she changed the way mathematicians think about their subject. "She taught us to think in simple, and thus general, terms... homomorphic image, the group or ring with operators, the ideal... and not in complicated algebraic calculations," said her colleague P.S. Alexandroff during a memorial service after her death. In this way, she cleared a path toward the discovery

    density, temperature, and chemical composition. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics. Modern astronomical research often involves a substantial amount of work in the realms of theoretical and observational physics. Some areas of study for astrophysicists

    What is string theory and what does it mean for human kind? String theory is a theory that seeks to unify the four forces of nature and explain the origins of our universe. Before the string theory, it was impossible to combine the theories of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. By using tiny vibrating strings of energy that are 10-33 m in length, scientists can create all the fundamental particles we’ve started to find using particle accelerators. Then, using these particles they can try to unite

    on the scientific community and could lead other future scientists to discover more than what meets the eye. Stephen Hawking and James Hartle have discovered that the universe has no physical boundaries, and that with the combination of general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, black holes can die. That the vacuum of space is not empty but filled with pairs of particles in which helps the scientists know more about the black hole. Hawking also thinks that the whole universe itself is a black
