A black hole can be located due to its gravitational attraction. If matter falls into the black hole, it will emit x-rays; also, even if this is not the case, the black hole can be detected by the gravitation it exerts on nearby objects - for example, if an object orbits the black hole. A black hole may also change the direction of light emitted from behind it, for example, from a far-away star or galaxy. This is known as "gravitational lensing".

When did the scietists try to make black hole?

Despite what you may have heard, scientists did not try to "make" a black hole. The reason being:Scientists today does not have the technology to make one.If they did, then devastating consequences would occur.


Could all black holes lead to the same singularity?

All black holes are theorized to have a singularity at their center, characterized by infinite density and gravitational pull. However, the exact nature of the singularity is still a topic of debate among physicists, as it involves the intersection of general relativity and quantum mechanics, which are not yet fully reconciled theories.


Could black holes be predicted?

I don't quite know what you mean by predicted (please try to make your questions very clear) but assuming you mean 'can their creation be predicted', then the answer is 'yes'. We know that very massive stars will leave a remnant that exceeds about 3-4 solar masses after they go supernova. If the stellar ruminant is above this mass then a black hole will form. We can also predict where black holes 'are' by their effect on nearby bodies, this is how we know were and how massive the black hole in the centre of our galaxy is. Also although black holes do not emit light they do distort light passing near them and we can predict what this would look like (see related link below).


What was the problem Stephen hawking try solve?

Stephen Hawking worked on understanding the nature of black holes, the origins of the universe, and the theory of everything in physics. He also focused on reconciling quantum mechanics and general relativity. In his work, he aimed to explain complex phenomena in the universe and deepen our understanding of the fundamental laws governing it.


Can comets turn into black holes?

Anything "can" turn into a black hole, as long as it is massive enough and dense enough. For example, Earth can turn into a black hole if all its mass is squeezed into a point about a centimeter in radius. The only reason that we don't see this happening is because you can't just make Earth denser than it already is (ever try to squeeze a chunk of putty?). Just because the odds of it turning into a black hole is very small doesn't mean it can't turn into one. {ADDED} No, a comet cannot become a black hole. It is far too small and light (low mass), and loses material every time its orbit brings it relatively close to the Sun - the characteristic tail is that lost material, which like the head, reflects Sun light so is visible. The only objects cable of becoming black holes are the extremely dense cores of very, very large stars that die as supernovae, and even then, not all them become black holes.

Is their black holes?

Yes, there is such thing as a black hole, they are very mysterious and very, very, very hard to see. But, scientists don't try to "look" for black holes, they detect them with radars that search for vibrations in space. Scientists look for these vibrations because the black holes give off this energy with gigantic force that pulls you into the center. It has so much energy and force that it vibrates. So, yes there are such things as black holes.

How is a nebula linked to a black hole?

When a nebula collapses under the right conditions it forms a star. Larger stars end their life-cycle as black holes. For more information try searching for "stellar evolution."

Is a black hole hot?

I will try to simplify the answer down to the black hole object itself, and I assume the question revolves around classic black holes and not quantum black holes (which may very well be the hottest hypothetical objects in the universe).It is insufficient to state that a black hole is simply "cold" or "hot", since black holes can be both - and only in extremes.A black hole attracts matter via. the immense gravitational pull, and as with anything to which motion is applied, heat is generated. While a black hole attracts matter the temperature will therefore bevery high, as the absorbed matter will reach incredible speeds while it enters the black hole, and the outer layer will reachenormous temperatures. In other words, the compression of the matter itself heats up the outer layer of the black hole to millions of degrees.It is a widespread misunderstanding that black holes do not emit radiation. While black holes are consuming matter,radiation, such as x-ray and gamma ray, will be emitted from the black hole. And this is in fact how we typically detect a black hole. You should also be able to observe the actual heat, as black holes will not be absolutely black while they are absorbing matter, and can potentially light up the surrounding objects.The biggest black holes however, may be the coldest objects in the universe, given there is no matter around them left to consume. This means that they will either emit little or no radiation at all, and the temperature will be only near a billionth of a degree above absolute zero.
