3. Black Holes: A
Theoretical Definition
An area of space-time with a
gravitational field so intense that
its escape velocity far exceeds the
speed of light or at least is equal
to exceeds the speed of light.
Black holes are, literally, invisible
as they absorb all electromagnetic
radiation, which means none of
our telescopes,X-ray and gamma-
ray - can detect them.
4. In Terms of General Relativity :
Einstein’s Theory of General
Relativity basically says that
gravity warps space time.
So black holes warp space-time
as well.
5. The black hole no
hair theorem
postulates that mass,
charge, and angular
momentum are the
only properties a
black hole can
possess.
A simplified Model
6. Types Of Black Holes :
“Normal Sized” Black
Holes
Microscopic
(Primordial) Sized
Super-Massive Black
Holes (On the order of
millions to billions of
Solar Masses)
7. First Image Of A Back Hole Event Horizon :
The EHT released the first
successful image of a black
hole’s event horizon.
The black hole is at the heart
of galaxy Messier 87.
The visible ring indicates the
strength of gravity and
gravitational lensing around
the central black hole.
8. How Are Black Holes formed ?
Stars with a mass at least three times
greater than that of our Sun's can
undergo extreme gravitational
collapse once their fuel depletes.
With so much mass in a confined
volume, the collective force of gravity
overcomes the rule that usually keeps
multiple atoms from occupying the
same space. All this density creates a
black hole.
9. Interesting Facts:
Black holes distort time and space around them.
Supermassive black holes also give birth to stars
and determine how many stars a galaxy gets.
The first object considered to be a black hole is
Cygnus X-1.
