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.

Einstein‘s View
- It was already clear that a uniform spherical star would contract to a point of infinite density, a singularity.
- Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity says that objects distort the space-time around them.
- At this point of infinite density, one can’t predict the future, whic...

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
- 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’.

Event horizon
If you look directly at a black hole it looks like nothing. the space is under their control is blocked by an invisible one way border called the event horizon.
The event horizon forms a sheel around a region of space that, once entered, is shielded from the rest o...
What's The Block Hole
A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.
Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They...
What is inside black hole?
A black hole is a region where gravity is so strong that light cannot escape itself.
A black hole has a boundary called the event horizon. It is where gravity is just strong enough to track light back and prevent it from escaping. Because nothing can travel faster than ligh...
