The general theory of relativity, proposed by Einstein in 1916, embodied the notion of gravitation, a phenomenon derived from a local curvature of spacetime. One profound implication, an outgrowth of the field equations of the theory, was the existence of black holes.

Did Albert Einstein discover anything in space?

Not exactly, he was not an astronomer. However his theory of general relativity predicted the existence of black holes (which has since been confirmed) and wormholes (still unconfirmed)


What is a theory that has never been proven false?

The theory of general relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, has not been proven false. It has been extensively tested and has accurately predicted various phenomena such as gravitational lensing and the existence of black holes.


How did Karl schwarzschild discover cosmic black holes?

He did not discover them. He did some calculations that predicted the possibility of the existence of black holes.


What is your reaction about black holes?

Black holes fascinate me by there huge size on great gravitational force. The fact that light can't even get out so we cant study the center much is also pretty amazing. The thing that disturbed many astrophysicists when black holes were first theorized was the fact that the theory predicted an object that would destroy the theory that predicted it.


An object so massive and dense that even light cannot escape its gravity is called what?

You are describing what we call a "black hole'. It was actually predicted in the theory of relativity. Formulated by Albert Einstein in 1905, the theory of relativity is the notion that the laws of physics are the same everywhere. The theory explains the behavior of objects in space and time, and it was used to predict everything from the existence of black holes, to light bending due to gravity, to the behavior of the planet Mercury in its orbit.


How many black holes are there?

The existence of black holes is predicted in theory. It can't be 'proven', but several theoretical consequences of their existence have been observed, so it's looking pretty good. It's impossible to say how many there are, even if they do exist; in fact, it will never be possible. However, I can absolutely positively guarantee and assure you of one thing: No black hole has ever been seen.


When was the black hole created?

This is unknown. In 1916, Einstein predicted their existence in his theory of general relativity. Then a few months later the physicist Karl Schwarzschild calculated that Einstein's predictions were right. No one has ever seen a black hole because they emit no light, but we can tell that they are at the centre of almost every galaxy because they pull in all the light around them.


How do scientist know the block wave exist if these objects don't emit any visible light?

Um... "block wave"? Do you mean "black hole," and if so how did you manage that typo?Anyhow, they're predicted by theory, and these things predicted by theory would have certain characteristics, and lo and behold there are objects out in space that appear to have exactly those characteristics. Ergo, black holes must exist, and these objects must be them.


What is eintein predic?

Einstein's predictions, particularly those stemming from his theory of relativity, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. His famous equation, (E=mc^2), demonstrates the equivalence of mass and energy, leading to insights in nuclear physics. Additionally, his theory of general relativity predicted phenomena such as the bending of light around massive objects and the existence of black holes, both of which have been confirmed through observation and experimentation.


What forces black holes?

The existence of black holes is an outgrowth or prediction of General Relativity, which was Einstein's theory of gravitation. The dominant force forming black holes is the force of gravity, a universal attraction between mass.


Do white holes suck up objects like black holes do?

White holes are theoretical regions of spacetime that expel matter and energy outward, the opposite of black holes which pull matter in. They do not suck up objects like black holes do. However, there is no observational evidence for the existence of white holes in the universe.


What is the scientific theory behind the existence and properties of an eternal black hole?

The scientific theory behind the existence and properties of an eternal black hole is based on the concept of general relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein. According to this theory, black holes are formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. An eternal black hole is a theoretical concept that suggests a black hole can exist indefinitely without evaporating due to Hawking radiation. This idea is still a topic of ongoing research and debate in the field of astrophysics.
