Black holes are a natural consequence of the theory of relativity. Actually, even before that, a few scientists considered that it might be possible for an object to be so massive that not even light could escape from it, but the first rigorous treatment was done by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. At the time it was considered a purely mathematical curiosity, but in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s others showed that it was at least physically plausible for a black hole to actually exist, and derived solutions for rotating and/or charged black holes (Schwarzschild's solution was for a non-rotating, non-charged black hole).

How did scientists come up with all this information about black holes?

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.


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.


Is it that there is only 1 black hole in space?

No, there are many black holes in space. They reside throughout the universe and come in different sizes, ranging from stellar-mass black holes to supermassive black holes found at the centers of galaxies.


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.


What comes after black holes?

After black holes, there is not much known in terms of what comes next. Some theories suggest that black holes can evaporate over time through a process called Hawking radiation, eventually leading to their disappearance. Others speculate about the possibility of black holes merging together or transforming into different types of celestial objects. Further research is needed to better understand the fate of black holes and what may come after them.


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!!
