Black Holes and Their Mysteries Black holes are one of the most popular Hollywood science fiction topics also one of the most mysterious entities in space. Astronomers still have many questions regarding the darkest entity in space‚ black holes‚ but over time they began to analyze more and more clues and data‚ and are now able to explain what a black hole really is.

A black hole is an object with such a strong gravitational field that even light cannot escape from its surface. A black hole may be formed when a massive object (very big object) undergoes uncontrolled contraction (a collapse) because of the inward pull of its own gravity. We shall now describe how the black holes are formed from neutron stars after the supernova explosions of big stars. When a supernova explosion of a very massive star takes place‚ then the gaseous matter present in the outer shell

The universe is full of vast objects‚ and quite possibly not all have been discovered. Black holes are among one of these that have been discovered and began to take a life of their own. Hollywood has depicted them as a space time traveling device. The truth of the matter is though if you were to be “sucked” into one you would never be able to escape and you would die. A black hole is caused when a red super giant star begins to run out of fuel. The star loses the force pushing itself outward

black hole? How do they form? Why are they invisible? “A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—including particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.” (Source 1) The collapsing or dying of a star causes the strength of gravity to be so strong that light can’t even escape the black hole. Because

Black holes do not exist—at least‚ not as we know them‚ says renowned physicist Stephen Hawking‚ potentially provoking a rethink of one of space’s most mysterious objects. A new study from Hawking also says that black holes may not possess "firewalls‚" destructive belts of radiation that some researchers have proposed would incinerate anything that passes through them but others scientists deem an impossibility.

Down the Rabbit Hole Boys journey to becoming a man “One of the signs of passing youth‚ is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them” (Virginia Wolfe).
