I understand that you are uninterested in science, but I was doing some research on subatomic particles and string theory and found astonishing information about the universe that we live in that I just have to share it with someone and you are the first person I thought of. I will try (not really) to keep it short, as I know that science is not your thing (even though it really should be, as it is AWESOME), so I am only going to tell you about Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, black holes, and wormholes, as they are all interrelated and so interesting that every person, including you, must know about them. Hey, you may get a new idea for an awesome rap song from this inspiring information. You never know! All of this information …show more content…
Now I can discuss black holes, as they were predicted by Einstein’s Theory. Black holes are massive amounts of matter crammed into one small space, which creates a gravitational field that blocks any light from escaping; kind of like that time when you sat on me and I could not escape. Remember that time? Yeah, you bet I do. Anyways, these black holes can be filled with matter that is “ten times more massive than the Sun” (science.nasa.gov). I cannot even imagine something that huge in our very own galaxy, can you? Probably not, since it is fascinating! These mesmerizing black holes are formed when gigantic stars break apart in a supernova explosion and leave their dense, small core behind. “If the core’s mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole” (science.nasa.gov). The gravity collapses the star, creating that dense, massive hole that traps light inside. Massive black holes also form from stellar collisions, which is when a black hole and a neutron star collide. “Soon after its launch in December 2004, NASA’s Swift telescope observed the powerful, fleeting flashes of light known as gamma ray bursts” (science.nasa.gov). This “afterglow” that was produced gave plenty of evidence that the explosions occurred from …show more content…
(And I know you want me to continue writing because you are so intrigued, even if you do not want to admit that you obviously chose the wrong profession). Wormholes, which are not holes in worms as I know that is what you are thinking (you never were too good at science), were also discovered by using Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity with help from Nathan Rosen in 1935. Together, they defined these mysterious holes as bridges or passages through space-time, connecting two distinct points, and making the time and distance it takes to travel through the universe shorter. They have two mouths (kind of like you when you’re eating ice cream cake), and a throat in the middle that connect the two opposite ends in various possible shapes and structures. Similarly to black holes, wormholes can be detected by the way that light is affected when it travels near the gravitational pull of the wormhole. Although this makes sense, scientists have not yet discovered one, but they know that they are out there as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity (which should not be questioned as it would be a sin to doubt the wonderful Albert Einstein) mathematically proves their existence. Wormholes and black holes are actually connected, as some scientists predict that the mouths of these wormholes are actually black holes, although black holes cannot form a wormhole. Scientists have discussed
Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries explains about his ability to blend content, accessibility, and humor, Tyson is a natural teacher who simplifies some of the most complex concepts in astrophysics
It is believed that super massive black holes exist in the cores of many large galaxies, including the Milky Way galaxy, which is our galaxy. (Swinburne University 2014). It is believed that a normal black holes were formed because of a supernova explosion of a gigantic star, meaning when huge stars collapse, so the larger the star, the larger the black hole. ( Millis 2014) . So therefore a simple idea of how a super massive black hole might have been formed would be because of a collision of super enormous star or a collision of star clusters (star clouds). (Super massive black holes 2014)
Black holes were originally thought to have only mere mathematical concepts. There was seemingly no possible way to compress any object into a space small enough to equal to its schwarzschild radius. Later however, astronomer Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that stars much larger than our own sun should theoretically be able to collapse into a black hole (UTFC). A star is like a blown up balloon with the force of gravity trying to compress the balloon inwards and the air trying to push the balloon outwards. Likewise, stars are held in balance by gravity trying to collapse the star inwards going against the outwards pressure of the internal reactions of the star called nuclear fusion. If the star is big enough and the pressure inside quickly disappears, gravity would and should slingshot the star into a tiny point with near infinite density with an extremely strong gravitatio...
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.
A Black Hole is defined as an object in space that is so compact, that has a gravitational pull so powerful, not even light can escape its pull. In most cases Black Holes are formed when a massive star (much larger than our own) undergoes a supernova explosion. When this happens, the star may collapse on its own gravitational pull, thus resulting in a an object with infinitely large density and zero volume. As a result, the escape velocity (the speed required to escape the gravitational pull) becomes even greater than the speed of light, and because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, nothing can escape a black hole.
can imagine. This report will go into further discussion on these massive holes in space.
I was thrilled to hear that after that your efforts towards conceiving a child have made your goal become a reality! As a good friend to both of you and as an astute advocate for infants and children safety, I have a few words of encouragement and knowledge I hope you will take with you on this new found journey! You should be proud and go into this knowing that this experience overall is one of the most beautiful, rewarding, and amazing events that can ever transpire! There are however some points of concern that will need to be addressed to ensure the babies overall health and development are optimal. Since your conceiving at your current age there are some risks the baby may be prone to and I would like to inform you of some preventative
Before I begin to speak about black holes, I will have to explain what the white glowing specks in the sky are. Without a star a black hole could not be formed. In the beginning of a star life a hydrogen is a major part of its development. Stars form from the condensation of clouds of gas that contain hydrogen. Then atoms of the cloud are pulled together by gravity. The energy produced from the cloud is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs. The gasses within the star starts to burn continuously. The hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as carbon, oxygen, and helium are consumed. This chain reaction of explosions fuels the star for millions or billions of years depending on the amount of gases there are.
As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.
Walt Disney is one of the most well known animators in the world, but there is so many things he did and so much things about him that so many people don’t know about. For example, I bet you you never knew that Walt Disney’s real name was Walter Elias Disney or that he once drew on the side of his white house with tar when he was a kid. Walt Disney made so many people laugh and enjoy movies through his imagination and creativity. Although in reality he made people laugh and enjoy life itself.Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago. Now you may be wondering why Walt Disney was named Walt Disney, well I’ll tell you, He was named after a close friend of his father’s, Walter Parr who was a pastor at St. Paul's Congregational Church.
Informative Speech Scientists Einstein and Heisenberg A. Introduction My Speech is about the scientists who had the main influence on our current time and have shaped our contemporary view of the world (Also called in Theology the "Zeitgeist"). I have chosen two of them who are in many ways just opposites. One is extremely famous and the other is almost unknown, except to specialists. The most famous is, of course, Albert Einstein.
Throughout the ages, outstanding physicists, to the movies, to some of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, have pondered the idea of time-travel. The thought of actually being able to travel to another time or universe has long since enthralled, enveloped, and overwhelmed some of the greatest minds in the history of physics. No one person can actually prove any of their theories, but a few actually make sense. Meaning that they do not violate the laws of physics. One of the main theories suggested, are wormholes. Wormholes are considered to connect two regions of flat space-time, two universes, or two parts of the same universe. There is a lot of theoretical evidence that wormholes exist, with an equal amount of evidence that they do not exist. However, no matter what one’s belief is, the existence of wormholes still makes you wonder…
Astronomers believe that most galaxies consist of a supermassive black hole at the center, which attracts all constituents of galaxies such as, dust, gases (mainly Hydrogen and Helium), atoms, stars, interstellar clouds and planets to the center by force of gravity, but are not sure whether all galaxies contain a black hole in the center. Galaxies keep moving in relative motion to one another and intermittently can come so close that the force of gravitational attraction between the galaxies may become strong enough to cause a change in the shape of the galaxies, while in exceptional cases, the galaxies may collide. If two galaxies collide, they may pass right through without any effect or may merge, forming strands of stars, extending beyond 100,000 light years in space (World Book Online Reference Centre, 2005). Hence, neighboring and often other colliding galaxies induce the sha...
Black holes are the result of the death of a massive star, leaving behind a dense remnant core that eventually collapses to create a gravitational force so strong that nothing, including light, can escape the force. The theory that black holes existed started back in the early 1900s and since then astronomers and scientists have been trying to get a better understanding of them. This phenomenon has been a working progress for astronomers and scientists for many years and as we develop a better understanding of our solar system, the more likely it is to make a significant discovery that can answer some of the most difficult questions about our incredible galaxy and solar system. The more information we are able to acquire about our universe, the more questions we might be able to answer about our existence. With advancements in technology we may be able to see some significant discoveries and insights into the world of black holes.
Small black holes created simultaneously with the beginning of the universe. Black holes form from supernovas.
