BIRTH TO DEATH Name : Anand Patel Roll No.: 193109005 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.
