BLACK HOLE - FROM

BIRTH TO DEATH

WHAT IS BLACK HOLE ?
• Black holes are one of the strangest things in existence.

• Black holes were long considered a mathematical curiosity.

• The theory of General Relativity first predicted existence of black hole.

• A Black hole is a region of space time exhibiting gravitational


acceleration so strong that nothing even light can not escape from it.
BIRTH OF BLACK HOLE
• Stars are incredibly massive collection of mostly hydrogen atoms.
• This energy in form of radiation pushes against gravity, maintaining a delicate
balance between the two forces.
• The stars with way more mass than our own sun the heat and pressure allows
them to fuse heavier elements until they reach iron.
• Iron builds up at the centre of the star and after reaching a critical amount the
balance between the energy and gravity is suddenly broken.
• The core collapses and within a fraction of a second star implodes as the star
dies in a supernova explosion.
• This either produces a neutron star or the black hole if the star is heavier than
3 solar mass.
CHARACTERISTICS AND TYPES OF BLACK
HOLE
• Event Horizon : An event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect
an observer on the opposite side of it.
• Singularity : The inner region of a black hole, where the object's mass lies, is known
as its singularity, the single point in space-time where the mass of the black hole is
concentrated.

• Types of Black Holes


• 1. Staller Black hole (5 to several tones of solar mass)
• 2. Intermediate black holes (102 − 105 solar mass)
• 3. Supermassive black holes (105 − 1010 solar mass)
DEATH OF BLACK HOLE AND INFORMATION
PARADOX
• Black hole radiates their mass away, this is called hawking radiation.
• The process is incredibly slow.(It will take a black hole with mass of our
sun 10,000 billion billion billion billion billion billion years to lose
0.0000001% of it’s mass !)
• This process speed increases with time.
• Information Paradox :
• The black hole information paradox is a puzzle resulting from the
combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
• The black hole might delete something fundamental : information.
