Gravity Leads To Black Holes
The infinite weirdness of black holes makes it difficult for a physicist to combine gravity with quantum mechanics (QM).
The fact that gravity works on everything makes it difficult to construct an apparatus to measure the QM properties of gravity. This is because the measuring apparatus c...
What are black holes ?
Black holes are particles which have huge gravitational power, almost 1000 times that of the earth or any other planet. Scientists say that if you put anything in front of a black hole, it's going to suck that thing immediately, within a fraction of seconds.
