WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE ?


WHERE TO BEGIN

There are many mysteries about the birth of the universe, its evolution. But the most important and dangerous mysterious thing is a black holeBut nobody has ever seen it. This black hole has the capability to take away even a big planet. Whatever the thing that once entered into a black hole can never be returned. The thing that comes closest to this black hole can be swallowed by it. How much powerful a black hole is, it can make light travelling at a speed of 3 lakh kilometre per second towards it. And now you will know - what a black hole is? How does it grow? What will happen to an object that enters into a black hole?                                

STABILITY OF A PLANET

Hydrogen is the reason for a star to illuminate brightly. These hydrogen atoms convert into helium in the process of nuclear fusion and release an enormous amount of energy and radiation. At one side energy released from the core moves farther from it, at another side its gravitational force pulls the energy towards it. By these two equal and opposite forces acting together, a star can be in a stable state. 

THE SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION

After some long years, the hydrogen present in a star will get reduced. Then gradually the nuclear reactions get degraded and no energy will be released. As a result, the core’s gravitational force pulls the star towards itself and its size is reduced to become like a small ball. Due to this density will be increased at the core and a sudden blast will happen to a star. This is called a “Supernova explosion”. 

                                         

THE BLACK HOLE

If the blasted star size is small then it turns into a neutron star with high density. Its density is more i.e., 1 teaspoon weight of this star = 1 million tons weight on the earth. If the star size is big then after its explosion it will become a black hole. These posses high gravitational force than any other thing on the universe. Likewise, the dead star will become a black hole. The first image of black hole came last year with a high resolution proving the presence of one. 

STAR AS A BLACK HOLE

Not all large stars will become a black hole, 
to become like a black hole its size must be 20 times greater than our sun. 
It means that there is no possibility of our sun to become a black hole. 
Stars with a size greater than 20 times of our sun will become stellar black holes. 
These are dangerous and are in lakhs over the entire universe. 

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES

Next supermassive black holes, 
if a star-sized is some lakhs times more than the sun. They were 
usually situated in the middle of the universe. 
The big black hole in our galaxy is Sagittarius-A-Star. 
You know how its size would be, 
it has a diameter of length 4,40,00,000 km. 
Imagine how big it would be! It is at a distance of 25,640 light-years. 
One light-year means- the speed of light is 3,00,000 km per second. 
The distance travelled by light in one year is the light-year, 
approximately light travels a distance of 94,60,00,00,00,000 km/year. 
There is no need to worry about the Sagittarius black hole i.e., it is farther from our earth. 

EVENT HORIZON

Blackhole is surrounded by an event horizon. 
Any object that enters into the event horizon can never be returned. 
Whatever the object entered into this, it goes round and round then it reaches the center of the black hole. 
In the middle of this black hole, time runs very slowly. 
Physics laws are applicable everywhere in the universe except inside a black hole. Nobody know what will happen inside a black hole. 
          
                            

But if a man enters into a black hole due to the high gravitational force, 
our body gets stretched and torn apart like small pieces, there is
 none who has seen a black hole.
An object reflects the light projected on to it, 
but a black hole can attract even the light too into it. 
So we cannot say that there is a black hole in a space of the universe. 
Then there arises a doubt on how to detect a black hole. 
Stars near a black hole revolve at a high speed or a star illuminates with more brightness when it is going into a black hole and releases x-rays. 
By these 2 signs, scientists can identify the existence of black holes. 

END OF A BLACK HOLE

We know every object in the universe must die in a particular situation than what about a black hole? Famous scientist Stephen Hawking told that there is an end for the black hole too. 
Continuous radiation will be released from a black hole which is hawking radiation. 
As a result, the black hole loses its mass and energy. 
If no object will enter into it’s then after some years the black hole size gets reduced and finally evaporated. 
But it takes a long time, 
i.e., to reduce the size by 0.0000001% it takes nearly 10,000 billion billion billion billion billion billion years. Imagine how much time it costs for a black hole to get evaporated. 

SPECULATIONS

Some scientists believe - “ a black hole connects 2 universes”, 
if we enter into a black hole then we move through the wormhole and can reach the next universe. 
Some people believe that there is a possibility of time traveling there.

WHAT IS EXOTIC MATTER? COULD WORMHOLES REALLY EXIST?

INTRODUCTION I started the wormhole  series on this blog with the little  video titled what is a wormhole while that article  may have answered what wormholes  are it left many of you at the law of  questions the most important one being  are the existence of wormholes even  possible for a while now these  mysterious tunnels through space-time  have been poking at our Wonder and our  curiosity is only ever growing so today  we'll be journeying further on our quest  to make our wildest sci-fi dreams a  reality. I'm assuming you've read the first article on wormholes if you haven't check this link over here  https://theturtleco.blogspot.com/2020/12/what-is-wormhole.html  and I hope you  rough knowledge of the  concept of the theory of relativity if don't know don't worry I will write a separate article on that topic. In the previous article, we learnt about what is a wormhole  and how it works but th...

KALPANA CHAWLA A JOURNEY FROM HARYANA TO SPACE

 KALPANA CHAWLA Kalpana Chawla was an American astronaut, born and raised in India. She was the youngest of the four children born to Banarasi Lal Chawla and Sanjyothi Chawla on March 17, 1962, in Karnal, Haryana, India. She was the first Indian-born woman to go to space.                                                      She came from a family where everyone believes that "a person's hard work defines his character". Her father Banarasi Lal Chawla had a hard time settling down. He had done every job which can provide for his family. With his hard time settling down, his wife Sanjyothi looked after the children. At that time in India, education for girls was not thought of as necessary, but they were always supportive and made sure that their children's education. Kalpana was the youngest child in the family and her curiosity about how everything ...

The Electrical Genius Nikola Tesla And His Craziness

 The epic journey of Nikola Tesla which eventually didn't end well. Before we learn about a great person I wanna ask you a question. Who are the most famous scientists? I guess everyone thought of Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and etc.what if I say there is a man who contributed more to the science field the technology we use the trains we run and many more in fact nearly 80% of inventions runs today's world. Let's dive into his life story. Early Life Nikola Tesla ( 10 July 1856 -  7 January 1943) was born to  Milutin Tesla  and  Đuka Mandić  in the Austrian Empire which is known as Croatia today. Tesla's father is an orthodox priest who wanted his son to enter the same profession but thanks to god Nikola was only interested in science.his mother had invented home craft tools,labour-saving devices and had a great memory. Tesla has credited his creativeness, memory and his inventions to his mother's  genetics and influence. Nikola Tesla Father Nikola...
