What is a black hole in science?

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so powerful that nothing, not even light can escape its pull. The name comes from the fact that since light cannot escape the hole's interior is invisible, and indistinguishable from the black space around it. Black holes are believed to begin with the collapse of a star (sun). The Black Hole in science is a point of redshift=z=v/c=1=sqrt(GM/rc^2). A Black Hole started as a mathematical singularity in Physics. It has evolved to a physical concept of super gravity. The Black Hole is really a region where the velocity of an object has velocity equal to the speed of light. This defines a condition of equilibrium in acceleration at the speed of light and at a radius of gravity GM/r=c^2. There are "Black Holes" at the center of all Galaxies, reflecting the mass M at the galactic center.

There's no use for a black hole since even light cannot escape it.

By its effect (gravitationally) on nearby stars.


Did god make black holes?

If you believe in God and you believe that God created everything, then sure. If you believe in science, then a black hole is created when a massive star collapses and a black hole is formed. [See related question]


How do you make a black hole for a science fair project?

You can't really "make" a black hole, but you can do research, present on the research and do a small demonstration of one of the properties of a black hole. For example, there are lots of experiments you can set up to measure the force of attraction between two objects. You can use that as a launch pad, then compare that to the estimate gravitational force of a black hole.


What would others observe happening to you if you got sucked into a black hole?

Firstly, they could not observe you since light can't escape from a black hole. But, if you were to think about this science fictionally, then one would observe you getting mixed with the other particles in the black hole, then contracting, and finally dieing.


Is it possible the big bang wasn't a bang at all but a white hole from another universe?

There is no scientific evidence that White Holes are possible or that there are other universes. While it may pass in Science Fiction it is not science. Scientists say it is very possible that there parallel universes and that a white hole is the opposite of a black hole also. Science may be stranger than science fiction.


Can nuclear weapons kill a black hole?

No. A black hole is a dead star that slowly is gathering anything it can pull. A nuclear weapon would be expected to act on a regular set of rules and situation (surface of a planet.) A nuclear weapon can destroy things coming close to the black hole, but not the black hole itself. The whole reason a black hole is so strong is it is a star that fell into itself - folded inwards likes a moebius strip; launching missiles into the black hole would only 'feed it.' According to our present technology and science, you cannot destroy a black hole, they are already the most 'destroyed' you can be.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What positive influences did black holes do on science and society?

Please note that the closest known black hole is at a distance of 3000 light-years. Such a black hole cannot directly "have a positive influence". The supermassive black hole in the center of most galaxies is believed to have an important role in the galaxy formation - so it may have had an important influence in the remote past.
