Black Holes Lab

A black hole sends all legitimate and spam traffic to a null route stopping any packets being processed. Typically used to prevent DOS or DDOS attacks against services.

Stephen Hawking a well-known theoretical physicists, has contemplated the conundrum of whether or not information is destroyed at the horizon of black hole.

6. The Schwarzschild radius is the radius of the event horizon surrounding a non-rotating black hole. 7.Black holes are real. They form when gravity is pulling at such a high amount that not even light is able to get through. Black holes can also form when a star is dying.

A black hole is a point in space where there is extreme gravitational pull, so extreme that light itself cannot escape. The strength of gravity is so strong due to the fact that an immense amount of matter has been contained in a small space.

Black Holes were conceptualized by Reverend Michell\cite{41} in 1783 while searching a means to measure the mass of stars by evaluating the reduction in the speed of light due to the gravitational pull of the star. Michell reasoned that the maximal effect measurable would be limited by the escape velocity from the star, which is the speed of light. Any star more massive than this maximal limit would not permit light to escape from its surface (no constraint regarding the speed of light were proposed at that time) and were named \lq Dark Stars\rq\,. Such stars would be dark since an outside observer would not be able to see it but its gravitational influence on nearby luminous objects could be observed and the relation between mass and radius

The first black hole was discovered in 1971 and John Wheeler, an American astronomer, coined the term black hole in 1967 (“Black Holes: Facts”). Black holes are formed out of pieces of a star that have exploded in a supernova explosion (“Black Holes – NASA”). They are also formed when two stars have a stellar collision

Black holes, complex and difficult to understand, have intrigued both scientists and physicists alike since the eighteenth century. French scientist Pierre-Simon Laplace, born in 1749, was one of the first scientists to argue for the existence of an unexplainable body that encompasses an endless amount of space . Following Laplace, John Archibald Wheeler, an American physicist born in 1911, coined the term “black hole” for a space entity that is “so compact (in other words, has enough mass in a small enough volume) that its gravitational force is strong enough to prevent light” and all other matter from fleeing its body (What Is a Black Hole?). Black holes, therefore, are masses that have a gravitational force so great that they attract

One can relate by using examples of comets. There are comets that approach earth but then drifts away from earth’s atmosphere. “However, on must realize that geodesics are paths of freely falling objects only”(Biswas 1) Thus the only object that has a chance to escape a black hole is one that has engine powered turbines, such as a space ship.

There is a point at the edge of a black hole referred to as the event horizon, upon reaching which a scientist would note gravity becoming much stronger than that of the Earth. As matter approaches the event horizon, the force of gravity will increase until it becomes infinitely strong. Mclintock states on page one that, “[A] black hole is a region of space whose gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape from it.” The gravity of a black hole is so strong, due to the presence of a singularity. A singularity is the point within the black hole in which the black hole’s total mass is condensed. Though the general population does not realize that gravity bends not only space and light, but time as well.

The common misconception of black holes is that they are ‘a hole’ in space, but the fact is, they are a dense orb of matter that continuously grows and consumes. Popular believe is that a black hole is a gateway through time and space but that is not the case. All someone would find at the center of a black hole would be a dense orb a matter called the singularity, or core (Freudenrich). Black holes do in a way distort time and space because of their immense mass yet one would die and be burnt to a crisp before even coming close to reaching the highly dense core. If watched from the earth, it would take an infinite amount of time to be consumed by and become a part of a black hole, but

Black holes are the mystery of our cosmological universe. They have been baffling even the greatest scientists like Stephen Hawking for many years and yet not many people know about them. To understand how black holes are confusing scientists and how they can affect us, have to know how black holes work. Black holes are created whenever a giant star, twenty-five time bigger than our sun, dies and collapses from its own gravity to form an object of infinite density which forms a black hole. If you were to analyze the parts of a black hole, you would find an event horizon and the singularity. The event horizon is basically the point of no return, which means that nothing can escape the black holes grasp once it reaches that point, not even light. Then after that is the singularity which is the point of infinite density.

White Holes White holes are very mysterious. There are many theories concerning white holes and what they do, if they even exist at all. They may be an exit of matter coming into the universe. A white hole may hold many secrets to how the universe works. White holes logically are very possible to exist.

Black holes should probably not be called black holes. In fact, black holes are anything but empty space. Black holes are a great amount of matter packed and squeezed into a very small area. The result of this amount of matter squeezed into a small area results in a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.

Do you remember all those sayings about how black holes are dangerous? Well they’re not. Scientists have calculated that the chances of us getting sucked into a black hole is 1 in a billion. Black holes are not that strong, the chances of being sucked into one is rare and we know where they are. Black holes are not as “powerful” as we think they are.

Another method in physics on how to time travel is through black holes. A black hole has been discovered by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which showed that when a star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant core. If the core’s mass is more than the sun, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces in which it transforms into a black hole. Scientists have said that black holes can destroy anything that goes in it and it could be hard to get out of a black hole, once something went in it. In an interview by physicist Lior Burko, he states, “One possibility is that black holes may allow us to travel to very remote places in the universe, or another universe entirely,” (Kahney, “Black Holes and Space Time”). Black holes may have evidence that there are different kinds of parallel universe. Even though it is still unclear what black holes can do as in destroying everything that it goes in or if it leads someone to time travel into another parallel universe. Scientist are trying to create a black hole, here on earth, to see what blacks can do as in sending information to another universe.
