Einstein‘s View

  1. It was already clear that a uniform spherical star would contract to a point of infinite density, a singularity.
  2. Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity says that objects distort the space-time around them.
  3. At this point of infinite density, one can’t predict the future, which in turn implies that something strange could happen whenever a star collapsed.

Properties

  • With no light escaping from the black hole, there is no way that anyone watching from a distance could actually witness your descent. In space, no one can hear you scream; and in a black hole, no one can see you disappear.

What is a Black hole ?

What is a Black hole ?

Black holes cannot be seen as they don't reflect any light.

The centre of black hole is called singularity - a point of infinite density i.e the space curvature extends to infinity.

Singularity

  • if you take pressure out of the calculation,a uniform spherically symmetric star would contract to a single point of infinite density,I.e,Singularity.
  • A singularity is what you end up with when a giant star is compressed to an unimaginably small point.
  • It refers not...

Information

  • All the black hole will remember is the total mass, the state of rotation and the electric charge.
  • A black hole has a boundary, called the event horizon. This is where gravity is just strong enough to drag light back and prevent it escaping.
  • Because nothing can travel faster...

Formation of Black holes

Formation of Black holes

  • During most of the life of a normal star, over many billions of years, it will support itself against its own gravity by thermal pressure, caused by nuclear processes which convert hydrogen into helium.
  • The explosive force of nuclear fusion inside them creates outward pressure which ...

Can‘t see , but how do we know their existence

  • But scientists know they exist because they rip apart stars that get too close to them and because they can send tremors through space.
  • It was a collision between two black holes more than a billion years ago that triggered what are called ‘gravitational waves’.

Light Speed

The Theory of general relativity suggests that if an object is faster than the speed of light, which is 299,792 km per second, and in a vacuum(no air). This also would mean that such objects would have an infinite mass and a zero-length, which is not possible.
