BLACK HOLES - MYSTERY BEHIND.

Good afternoon everyone I am Harini of class 12 Zenith A1 here to throw light on the topic black
holes.

So what do you all think of black holes ?

Sarcastically one may think as a hole with black centre but rather it is a great amount of matter
packed into a very small area, think of a star 10 times more massive than our sun squeezed into
a sphere approximately the diameter of our Coimbatore city. So it possess a strong gravitational
field that nothing ,even light can't escape from it. To most of you it may look stange and most
fascinating objects on our space.

The gravity of the black hole bends the space -time curvature.

So let's move on to the next most interesting topic - the origin of black holes.

Most famous black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. Which
showed that when a massive star dies it leaves behind a small dense remnant core mass, more
than 3 times the mass of Sun, the equation showed the force of gravity overwhelms all other
forces and produces black hole.

different kind of supernova explosion occurs when even larger, hotter stars each the end of their
short, dramatic lives. These stars are hot enough to burn not just hydrogen and helium as fuel,
but also carbon, oxygen and silicon. Eventually, the fusion in these stars forms the element iron
(which is the most stable of all nuclei, and will not easily fuse into heavier elements), which
effectively ends the nuclear fusion process within the star. Lacking fuel for fusion, the
temperature of the stardecreases and the rate of collapse due to gravity increases, until it
collapses completely on itself, blowing out material in a massive supernova explosion.

Looking inside the black hole..

This is just an outline of a black hole.

let's see what is inside and around it,


1)Singularity

Singularity is a point which does not contain any special dimension, means that point does not
contain any height length and breadth it is just a singular point with no space and size an infinite
density.

2)Event horizon

Event Horizon is the boundary line of Black Hole, anything which crosses event horizon cannot
return back and hence it is called point of no return.

3)Are black holes really black?


A Question might have popped up in your mind,
We all know that black hole sucks up everything even light, then how can it emit anything ?

The great physicist prof.Stephen Hawking found out the answer to this mystery.
let us know what it is..
Black holes emits Hawking radiation and that Hawking radiation carries away some mass and
energy along with it, Thus black holes get evaporated slowly overtime in the form of Hawking
radiation, and these radiation is what which leads us to detect the different kinds of black holes
in space.

4)Nothing is forever, even black holes..

Blackholes are created as a result of most violent events in the universe -Supernova. When the
fuel of star gets over, the star tries to fuse heavier atoms in it's core. Based on the size and
mass of star, either it will die a slow death and become a neutron star, or the star will explode
with a very big explosion called as supernova. Once the star has exploded into supernova, it will
leave behind a blackhole, which is so massive that it curves spacetime in itself.

5)Gravitational time dilation

Imagine two astronauts in an spaceship near black hole, one of the astronaut jumps into black
hole while the other astronaut observes it from the space ship. Now, from the perspective of
astronaut in space ship, he will observe that, the other astronaut who jumped in to black hole,
will appear frozen and stuck at event horizon. Because the time will be ticking really really slow
due to immense gravity (space-time curve) of black hole.
From the perspective of astronaut who jumped into black hole, he was ripped off to the last
atoms of his body, he doesn't exist anymore.

So that's it, I hope you have enjoyed it.

I thank you all for your presence and patience.
