Supernovae are exploding massive stars which, after exploding, collapse in on themselves to infinite density (providing the remaining core is more than about 3 times the mass of the Sun) forming a singularity called a black hole.

What is the current scientific understanding of the formation and characteristics of primordial black holes?

Primordial black holes are thought to have formed in the early universe due to fluctuations in density. These black holes are believed to be small and have a range of masses. They are not formed from the collapse of massive stars like regular black holes. Primordial black holes are difficult to detect because they do not emit light. Scientists are still studying these mysterious objects to better understand their formation and characteristics.


Explain about the researches on black holes?

Black holes are that stars which has passed their all life or expired star and it absorb light of sun therefore cant reflect the ligh of sun, so its look like black holes.


How does the presence of water affect the formation and behavior of a black hole?

The presence of water does not directly affect the formation or behavior of a black hole. Black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars and are characterized by their immense gravitational pull, which can even pull in light. Water, being a common substance on Earth, does not have a significant impact on the formation or behavior of black holes in space.


What role does gravity play in the formation of black holes?

A black hole is what is left of an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity.


Why does the dark matter theory explain the brightness problem?

No light can excape what its caught in the black holes


Why does the universe need black holes?

Whether it "needs" them or not, they are there - an inevitable result of a Universe dominated by gravity. Supermassive black holes may have an important role in star formation, but this is still an area of active research.


Are black holes alien's warm holes?

1) It isn't known whether aliens (in the sense of extraterrestrial life) exist. 2) It isn't known whether wormholes exist. 3) No aliens are required to explain black holes; black holes form quite naturally as a result of the collapse of a massive star.


What subject do you study black hole other than astronomy?

Black holes are also studied in physics, specifically in the field of general relativity. The study of black holes involves understanding their formation, behavior, and effects on surrounding matter and spacetime. Additionally, black holes are also of interest in the field of mathematical physics for their complex geometrical properties.


What branch of science includes the study of black holes?

The study of black holes falls primarily under the branch of astrophysics, which is a discipline that combines principles of physics and astronomy to understand celestial phenomena. Astrophysicists investigate the properties, formation, and effects of black holes within the context of the universe. This field also intersects with general relativity, as black holes are a key prediction of Einstein's theory.


Are black holes invisable?

Yes and no. It is rather hard to explain, because black holes are so dark and black that no living creature can see them, which in a sense makes them invisible, but you can also see where a black hole is because it sucks in light, too, so that would also, in a sense make it visible, but the my main answer would be, no black holes are not invisible.


If scientists cannot see black holes and do not know for certain that they exist why might studying them be important?

The assumptions are not quite correct.Scientists CAN see black holes. In fact, black holes are among the brightest objects in the Universe. Of course, light can't escape from WITHIN the black hole; rather, what we see is the accretion disk. Also, scientists are PRETTY SURE that black holes are real. As to why it is important: Black holes are fascinating objects by themselves. They also seem to play an important role in galaxy formation.


What are intermediate black holes?

An intermediate-mass black hole is one with a mass significantly greater than the typical stellar-mass black holes, but less than the supermassive black holes such as are found at galactic centers. Their identification remains difficult, and their origins remain in the realm of speculation, although a reasonable theory hints at the likelihood of their formation from accretion of dense stellar clusters... and one possibly is that they are primordial black holes left over from the creation of the universe.
