It was first called "radiant matter”. However‚ Dr. Irving Langmuir‚ an American chemist and physicist‚ applied the word "Plasma" to ionized gas‚ in 1929.

and already know. The most well-known and believed theory of the creation of the universe is The Big Bang Theory.

A blackhole is a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Since no light can get out‚ you can’t see a blackhole‚ it’s pretty much invisible. But there are telescopes with special tools that help us find blackholes. Once something gets trapped in a black hole it then continuosly gets stretched. Most people think that Albert Einstien first discovered black hole in 1916‚ but he only revived a theory about black holes. In 1783‚ a scientist named

Black holes take in matter and energy into themselves‚ although they cannot do the same for heavenly bodies (i.e. moons‚ comets‚ etc.) and stars of the same size. (Black Holes: A Mighty Void‚ 2010) For example‚ a black hole the size of the Sun will not be able to pull it in. It can only do so if it is bigger. No matter how strong or powerful a hole is‚ it cannot pull in a body that is bigger than it or has the same size. Any heavenly body‚ planets‚ light‚ and matter‚ in order to get pulled
