Black hole The story of my scientifically accurate sci-fi paper happens in 2046. At that time, people nearly destroy the earth by nuclear weapon. In this case, the league of survivor sends hundreds of spacemen into space in different direction in order to find a habitable planet. Jack, a brave spaceman, carry out that long-term space travel mission. He spends the rest of his life on space travel and experiences lots of bizarre and untouchable phenomenon. Black hole, the topic of this paper, is one of the most dangerous thing he meets. In this paper, I start with the history of studying black hole, then analyze its priorities and structure, and list some astronomical observation. Black holes, according to general theory of relativity,

As a result, this celestial body becomes absolutely black and human cannot observe it directly (Montgomery, C., Orchiston, W., & Whittingham, 90). In 1915, Einstein Albert, a great physicist, published the Einstein field equations which describes the fundamental interaction of gravitation as a result of spacetime being curved by matter and energy (Einstein Albert, 884). One month later, Karl Schwarzschild, a German physicist, got the accurate solution of Einstein field equations and deduced that if the mass of an object is compressed within small diameter, all matter and energy will be trapped (Yi, 205).
In 1934, Wilhelm Heinrich Walter Baade, a German astronomer, mentioned that when a senescent star with huge mass cannot get enough from nuclear fusion, it is likely to become a black hole due to sufficient gravitation (Yi, 209).
In 1993, Julius Robert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist worked out that if a star that its mass three times the sun without any nuclear fusion, it must be compressed by its gravitation and become a black hole (Yi, …show more content…
During the life cycle of a star, it keeps nuclear fusion all the time to maintain its energy to resist the self-inflicted gravitation. The nuclear fusion starts with hydrogen and then produce other heavy element which makes the mass of star increase. When the mass become larger, the star gain more energy to push up its nuclear fusion to high levels. The heavier the star is, the less life cycle it has. At the end of its life cycle, due to the lack of energy, it cannot create nuclear fusion. Consequently, it will be compressed by self-inflicted gravitation. If the sun start to be compressed, it will become with dwarf, a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. However, if the mass of that star is three times the mass of the sun, that star will become black hole (Rincon,
