Blackhole
|
A black hole is a region of the universe so dense, it traps stuff in it forever
|
|
Formation
|
death of a large star. Stars are kind of big fireballs and just like fire needs to burn so do stars. Normally as a star starts to burn its fuel, it creates a sort of a push that counters the force of gravity pushing in towards the star's center. Eventually the fuel runs out. When this happens in a large enough star, the force of gravity makes the entire star implode. It collapses in on itself and creates a incredibly dense region known as a black hole Scientists believe that our milky way contains millions of black holes which were created this way
|
|
Formation II
|
Another way scientists think that Black holes can from is through the collection of matter at the center of a galaxy.When billions of tons of dust and other matter get together in a middle of a galaxy it can collapse in on itself to make a enormously large black hole.
|
|
Gravitational pull
|
nothing can escape their enormous gravitational pull and they are invisible even too light so you can not see them.
|
|
event horizon
|
a edge on the black hole it is like the point of no return. it is the boundary for a black hole beyond which nothing can ever escape, once its sucked in. No one has ever seen a event horizon.
|
|
Hypothesis of what goes on inside the Black hole
|
Physicists think its pretty likely that some weird things go on in there. humans would get ripped into individual atoms in no time.
|
|
Space-time
|
Universe is measured in something called a space-time. Scientists say that space-time is like the never-ending fabric on our universe. According to Albert Einstein's theory of relatively, the fabric isn't just flat-it bends around objects. The more massive the object is the stronger the force of gravity is, and the more space-time is bent.
