A black hole is powered by gravity so great that nothing can escape it.

∙ 9y agoBlack holes are believed to most commonly be formed at the end of a massive star's life, when its fuel is exhausted and it no longer has the outward pressure to prevent its collapse under the effects of its own gravity. They also might be formed during some particularly energetic particle collisions, perhaps those of cosmic rays, although those would be microscopic black holes and very short-lived. They also were likely formed around the time of the big bang because of the initial conditions of the universe (so-called primordial black holes). Another model includes a lighter stellar remnant undergoing accumulation of matter over time and perhaps "fed" by a stream of matter from a companion star, another relating to events associated with galactic formation at the galaxy's center (supermassive black hole).

Do you have to die if you fall into a black hole?
A black hole is more powerful than anything in the Universe except an XZ Majoris Ceiphei, so indeed you would have to die if you fell into a black hole for sure; except if you ARE an XZ Majoris Ceiphei.
What has the most gravity a supernova a black hole a white dwarf or the planet earth?
a black hole has the most. Correct! The black hole as far as humans know has the most powerful gravitational pull in the universe! and is so powerful that not even light can escape it! # black hole, unless it is very small, although such a thing hasn't yet been detected. A black hole can have any mass just as long as that mass in compressed inside it Schwarzscild radius. # A supernova, which requires at least three solar masses to become a super nova in the first place. # A white dwarf # the planet earth.
What is our black hole called?
The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may not have a formal name yet, but takes its identification from a powerful radio source "Sagittarius A*" (where the asterisk is part of the name). Because of the discovery of this energy source it's commonly believed a black hole must be located there, powering the emissions perhaps because of the black hole's accretion disk or relativistic jets.
Why can gamma rays exit a black hole although light can't?
Strictly speaking, gamma rays don't exit a black hole; they are electromagnetic radiation just like visible light - although they carry a higher energy - and neither light nor matter can exit a black hole. However, a black hole can cause gamma radiation to be created near it - for example, by processes at quasars or active galactic nuclei, which, powered by a supermassive black hole, can generate immensely powerful jets or beams which can accelerate particles to relativistic speeds, boost lower energy photons, and generate powerful x-rays and gamma rays. Another possible source of gamma rays is the so-called black hole evaporation, through which a black hole could potentially lose its mass and end its life with an explosive gamma burst.
What is a black holes life cycle?
A black hole starts as a dying star. As the star gets smaller as it dies, the inner pressure becomes so powerful that the star implodes. When this happens, the smashed atoms of the dead star come together to form a neutron star. When this is crushed to nothing, a black hole is formed. If a black hole does not get enough energy, it will decrease in size and eventually explode.
Can the black hole grab things in?
Yes, they are so powerful, even light cannot escape from a black hole.
What is out the other side of a black hole?
a black hole is not actually a hole...it is a super dence point whose gravity is so powerful it pulls everything into it
Who is the most powerful thing in the universe?
a black and white hole
What does the Black Hole do to all the stuff it takes in?
The stuff it takes in stays in the black hole, making it bigger (i.e., more massive), and thus more powerful.
Do you have to die if you fall into a black hole?
A black hole is more powerful than anything in the Universe except an XZ Majoris Ceiphei, so indeed you would have to die if you fell into a black hole for sure; except if you ARE an XZ Majoris Ceiphei.
How the black hole becomes so powerful than anything in the universe?
they drink red bull
Who owns the black hole at the center of the galaxy?
Nothing is known about any owner. You might imagine some powerful alien civilization laying claim to the black hole, but this is just wild speculation.
Is gamma ray or black hole the most powerful?
The two things are not similar and cannot be compared in this way.
How do you not get sucked into the black hole on Astro Knights Island?
If you stay along the edge, your spaceship is powerful enough to keep from being drawn in.To dispose of Space Sharks in the black hole, shoot them until they all follow you, then slowly lead them up and right to the black hole.

A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?
The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.
