 What is “Black hole”?

A black hole is a region of spacetime

where gravity is so strong that nothing
— no particles or even electromagnetic
radiation such as light — can escape
from it.
 How did they appear?

The most popular theory is that super

massive black holes appear as a result of
the death of huge stars: under gravity, their
nuclei compress and the star, in fact,
absorbs itself, becoming an extremely heavy
object with a strong gravitational field.
 Can they die?

Hawking radiation is a hypothetical process

of radiation by a black hole of various
elementary particles, mainly photons;
named after Stephen Hawking. Hawking
radiation is the main argument of scientists
regarding the decay of black holes.
 Facts

1. A black hole can stretch you up to 1000 km/sec!;

2. Any matter can become a black hole;
3. The nearest black hole is about 1,600 light-years
away;
4. Black holes can merge with each other;
5. The laws of physics known to us cease to operate
in the center of a black hole.
 The end!
