Black holes

There are many myths about black holes due mainly to the sci-fi world of Hollywood; many people view black holes as time-traveling tunnels to another dimension or cosmic vacuum cleaners sucking up everything in sight. These are myths and I am going to set the real story straight on blacks holes in this paper.A black hole is defined in the dictionary as "An object whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it."(5) It can be said that black holes are really just the evolutionary end point of massive stars. But these short answers don't really clear up any confusion on the black hole. Black holes are the endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun. If a star that massive undergoes a supernova explosion, it may leave behind a fairly massive burned out stellar remnant, which is basically a star with non-sufficient energy power and with no outward forces to overcome the gravitational forces. Due to this phenomenon the remnant will basically collapse in on itself. The star will eventually collapses to the point in which it has no volume and an infinite density, creating what scientist refer to as a "singularity".


(10 &9)The Intermediate black hole is defined as "having a mass anywhere from 100 to 1000 times that of the Sun". Hence the Earth would have to get very close to get sucked into a black hole at the center of our solar system. Because no light escapes from the star after it reaches this infinite density, it is called a black hole. "For instance, if the sun was suddenly replaced with a black hole of the same mass, the only thing that would change would be the Earth's temperature. The only problem is, the standard model used for discovering black holes doesn't account for such a type of black hole. Its companion star, HDE 226868 is a B0 supergiant with a surface temperature of about 31,000 K. Since 7 solar masses is too large to be a white dwarf, it must be a black hole. Black Holes and Time Warps, Einstein's Outrageous Legacy - Kip S. (10)There have been other spots observed in space that are stronger possibilities of being a black hole than Cygnus X-1. "The heating ionizes the atoms of the particle, and when the atoms reach a few million degrees Kelvin, they emit X-rays. "An object cannot flicker faster than the time required for light to travel across the object.
