How has studying black holes affected learning about other things in our galaxy and or back home on Earth? In other words, has discovering new things about black holes furthered any other research for new technologies?
Hawking radiation reduces the mass and energy of black holes and is therefore also known as black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that lose more mass than they gain through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish. What happens is particle-antiparticle radiation is emitted from just beyond the event horizon. This radiation does not come directly from the black hole itself, but rather is a result of virtual particles being "boosted" by the black hole's gravitation into becoming real particles. As the particle-antiparticle pair was produced by the black hole's gravitational energy, the escape of one of the particles lowers the mass of the black hole.
What do you mean when you said, "When an object falls into a black hole it losses its identity?"
ReplyDeleteWhen an object falls into a black hole its mass stays the same but that object basically no longer exists. It is pretty much destroyed.

ReplyDeleteI guess you could say it has further increased our knowledge on how to use satellites and telescopes to discover these objects and like objects.

Deletehow did it get the named the Schwarzchild radius? does Schwarzchild mean something?

DeleteThe Schwarzschild radius was named after the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild.
DeleteHow prominent are black holes in the universe?
ReplyDeleteOut of the two, which is he most common way a black hole is formed?
ReplyDeleteIs there anything in the universe that can resist the pull of a black hole?
ReplyDeleteIf nothing can escape the event horizon, how can the neutron star limit resist the crush of gravity and not escape?

ReplyDeleteAre there any theories on what might be on the other side of a black hole?
