Best Answer

Scientist first formulated it from the laws of physics (namely relativity) and figured out what affect they would have on the space around them. Once they figured out what the effect would be, they looked out in space and saw the effect, thus proving black holes.

Where did a black hole come from?

Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.


How powerful are black holes?

Black holes are so powerful, that if you were in one, it would stretch you apart and you would NEVER come out!!!


How are black holes most easily identifed?

Black holes do not emit light, so black holes can not be seen this way. But black holes emit X-rays, but stars are not hot enough to emit X-rays. When black holes suck up stars, energy goes to the black hole, and come out as X-rays.


Why do stars rotate around black holes?

because stars come from the blake hole


Do black holes come near each other?

We aren't certain, because 99.9% of what we THINK we know about black holes is theoretical. But the theory says that if two black holes do come too close to each other, they will merge to form one larger one. However, if the geometry of their approach is right, it might be possible for them to orbit each other.


Were did a black hole come from?

Black holes came from old big stars that went supernova as it dies. Supernova causes the star to collapse into a black hole


How big is a black hole in outer space so a child can understand the answer?

Black holes actually come in different masses, and therefore sizes.


Does Stephen Hawking have prove that black holes are actually white?

Not exactly - What Stephen Hawking did was to promote a rationalization for an argument that black holes and white holes have similar natures. In quantum mechanics, the black hole emits Hawking radiation, and so can come to thermal equilibrium with a gas of radiation. Since a thermal equilibrium state is time reversal invariant, Stephen Hawking argued that the time reverse of a black hole in thermal equilibrium is again a black hole in thermal equilibrium. This implies that black holes and white holes are similar objects with the same nature. However the classical consideration for white holes is that they are the reverse of black holes and theoretically support the wormhole hypothesis by pairing a black hole with a white hole.


What happen when the black hole come?

It is known what will happen. You will get sucked up! But before you get sucked up, Black Holes give flicker of black hot gas. Black Holes have so much power that they can't control it. So that's why they suck up everything in their path. Fun Fact: Black Holes are actually stars that died and contain so much power!!


When will black hole come out?

sorry, bot that is to late to worry about. black holes existed long before Telus (Jorden In Norway we cal it, Earth.)


What did stepen hawking invent?

Stephen Hawking is not known as an inventor. However, he did come up with the theory of black holes.


How is the black hole explained?

Black holes havent quite been explained yet. Some scientists still havent found out why black holes are created, and what creates them. But people have suggested that black holes are usually made o rubbish. (Im talking about junk that is left in space such as crashed space ships, or either broken satelites) Black holes have been spoted, and have been investigated for so many years. So many suggestions have come up, but it still hasent been properly explained. I hope this helped! Im kind of new to wiki answers, so im trying my best! Dont say bad comments about this ok!! I THINK this is right, so dont copy it if its for homework or work!!! lol Thanks! ;)
