How are Black Holes created? Black Holes are the universe's most mysterious objects known to mankind. It lies in the darkness waiting and waiting for something...anything to come up and devour it without a trace. Black Holes are relatively new to humans, but we know that they’ve been here for millions and millions of years. Many people are unaware of the history of black holes, how a black hole is created and its function , and how there were theories leading up to black holes. Gravity was the reason Isaac Newton was able to open a door to the celestial world of time and space. Isaac Newton created a formula which is able to calculate the mass, size, and density of a star that can prevent light from leaving its surface. John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace were 18th Century scientists that were using Isaac Newton’s formula to find that their calculations were the first evidence in his theory that the universe could be filled with Black Holes. http://blackholes.stardate.org/history/ Isaac Newton’s Formula and theory were supported by two scientist that using his calculations helps support the point of Black Holes were indeed studied for extensive periods of …show more content…
“Dark Stars,” are dense enough to prevent light from escaping into space. “Dark Stars” are known and Black Holes and Black Holes were believe for it to capture light there must be a density high enough to be capable, but since no one has survived and measured the density of a black hole we believe that in that center it has an infinite density. http://physicsforidiots.com/space/black-holes/ The idea on how Black Holes are studied by the mass of the dying star. Density can draw out light if it were strong enough to cover the mass. This supports the claim if a Black Hole would engulf the mass of a sun no trace of
Many philosophers have said that the ‘Eyes are the windows to the soul.’ The eyes can show a person’s true personality. Not their clothes, facial expressions, or how they hold themselves, but looking into another’s eyes will show one’s soul. But what if their personality was not found in their eyes, but on their body in the form of a mutation? As found in Black Hole, the town’s teens have contracted an STD they call “the bug.” Each teen that acquires it grows an external mutation. This can especially be seen with some of the main characters: Keith, Rob, and Chris. Keith grows appendages that look like tadpoles on his chest. Rob has another mouth on his neck. Chris sheds her skin. Each of these mutations indicate what this person is actually like. The external mutations of Keith, Rob, and Chris symbolize the characters’ inner selves.
Dark matter is is a mysterious thing that holds the galaxies together. Dark matter has not been directly proven, but we know something is there, just like we know Japan is there even though we haven't been there. Dark matter is that placeholder. We are not sure what Dark matter is. They are not black holes, we can observe those.
Before Newton talked about gravitation the main knowledge of scientists was a elementary knowledge of optics, mechanics and astronomy.Copernicus Kepler and Galileo provided the background knowledge of the stars and planets, but Newton used their data to discover the whole gravitational system.10Newton reasoned that the planets and all other physical objects in the universe moved through mutual attraction of gravity.Newton said that every other object in the universe affected every other object through gravity.This explained why the planets move in an orderly fashion. Newton found that “the force of gravity towards the whole planet did arise from and was compounded of the forces of gravity towards all it’s parts, and towards every one part was in the inverse proportion of the squares of the distances from this part.”Newton proves all of this mathematically. This was known to be the single most important contribution to physics that ever has been made.11
First the mystery of the black holes and how they were created goes way back to when astronomers first discovered them. The astronaut said “he saw a blob of black matter and black holes are made when a star burns out or explodes but the astronaut never truly saw the actual thing. Black holes absorb light particles that are close enough to it so that it can thrive and continue. When a black hole goes away the light that it absorbed is turned into a new star. When an astronomer found a black sphere shaped cloud of matter in space he didn't really see it but he saw it pulling in large amounts of light that have been destroyed from an exploded star. If anything but light matter happens to get into a black hole it would just go through it rather
The definition of a black hole according to Sea and Sky is “The collapsed core of a massive star. Stars that are very massive will collapse under their own gravity when their fuel is exhausted. The collapse continues until all matter is crushed out of existence into what is known as a singularity. The gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape.” Seasky.org, cited 2016: “Black hole”. Glossary of Astronomy. [Available online at http://www.seasky.org/astronomy/astronomy-glossary.html#B]. Black holes are not visible to the human eye. Since they are so dense, light is not able to escape them resulting in them being invisible. Special tools are required for them to be discovered and located with telescopes. This is done by seeing how stars close to them act different from others.
Black holes - the strange scientific phenomenon that has astounded physicists and astronomers alike for decades. Popular subjects in science fiction novels, black holes are one of the greatest enigmas of the scientific world. Even today, the concept of a super-dense ball of matter that not even light can escape from is somewhat farfetched, and many scientists disagree with each other about nearly every aspect of a black hole. This project will attempt to shed some light on these mysterious formations, and will inform you the reader of the most popular and widely accepted theories surrounding them.
Through wonder and complicated thinking Einstein gave a strong argument on how space and time could be curved. By Einstein creating this theory he completely altered the way we could think of space and time. Einstein pictured space as a three-dimensional version of a thin rubber sheet. If you put a heavy object on the sheet, it makes a dent, and therefore an object's path would be affected by that dent. So, planets orbit the sun because “the space around the sun is curved in the 2-D equivalent of a funnel or basin”.( http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/stu/20th_people_einstein.html) “The curvature of space results in the effects of gravity. This notion of curved space becomes more tangible . . . occurs because its curvature of space”. (http://www.fi.edu/learn/case files/einstein/curved.html) Einstein introduced this special theory of relativity because it dealt only with the special case of motion in frames of reference that are neither increasing nor decreasing to the viewer. In other words, “the frames of the reference are . . . a consistent speed in a straight line”. (Jake Goldberg pg.47) Einstein also changed how we now think about gravity itself! He came up with his own theory of gravity as well, called Equivalence Principle. “Einstein said that when he was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: 'If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight.' I was
Normal stars (like the Sun) shine because there is nuclear fusion inside them, hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei, helium nuclei fuse together to form carbon nuclei, and so on. Nuclear fusion generates heat and light which make the stars shine. Also, this heat provides outwards pressure which balances the inward gravitational pull, making the star stable. This inward gravitational pull exist for every object - you, me, the earth, the sun, other stars, etc. Every atom of an object experiences gravitational pull towards its centre due to its own mass. But for small objects like the earth, this inward gravitational pull is negligibly small, but not for the stars. Remember the Sun is 333054 times heavier than the earth, and it is one of the
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.
Have you ever heard of the story of an apple dropping on Isaac Newton’s head. That giving him the Ah moment of the theory of gravitation. Well that the story is not true, however what had happened was that Isaac Newton was walking in his orchard that was at his home. Then he saw an apple had fallen off the tree and he thought “ Why did the apple fall downwards not sideways or upward”. That had sparked the great journey of Isaac Newton.
Black Holes are formed when massive stars, about 20 times the mass of our sun run out of fuel and nuclear fusion cannot take place. The gravity cause the star to collapse into itself and explode releasing a lot of gas and particles out into space. When stars explode this way, it’s called a supernova. In younger stars the nuclear fusion opposes the force of gravity which keeps the star stable. However now that there isn't any force to oppose the gravity, it keeps collapsing inwards until eventually all the mass gets concentrated to a single point. This single point is called
Black holes are celestial bodies so dense and strong that nothing can escape their pull. The idea of black holes is generally referred to the French mathematician, Pierre Simon Laplace. In 1796, Laplace who was studying the subject of escape velocity; this is the speed that something must be accelerated to in order to prevent being pulled back by the gravity of a larger body. For example, to escape the Earth’s gravitational pull we must accelerate our rockets to over 11 kilometers per second. If the rocket travels any slower then it will fall into a victim of earth gravity. If it travels any faster it will never return. When Laplace worked on this problem he noticed a relationship between the size of the object and its mass. Laplace noticed
As stated above, in 1915, Albert Einstein’s general relativity theory proved that black holes do exist. This discovery opened the doors for astronomers to do further research. Scientists realized that black holes form from the death of supergiants. Also, scientists have discovered that there are three to four different types of black holes that can either rotate or stay stationary. Additionally, astronomers made discoveries from how black holes strengthen their gravity to their ability to pull light in. As scientists continue to research space, more facts of these mysterious black holes will be
This may help us understand where all the material that is sucked into a black hole ends up as, but it is just an untested theory. We can measure dark energy by using a specially made camera that “...has 74 CCD's(Charge-Coupled Device;used for electric charge movement) that are each 3 by 6 centimeters across and can detect five hundred megapixels in total.”(“Essay: Will Dark Energy Please Come to Light?”2016). When it was mounted on a telescope in Chile in 2011, the camera looked for evidence of dark energy.With the help of the Hubble Telescope, the camera proved the existence of dark
Gravity. We all know what it is, and we take that for granted. But, as all great discoveries, there was a time before “gravity”. Of course, it existed, just people didn't really know about it, or how it worked. That is, until the year 1687, when Isaac Newton came about. But first, let's back up.
