Who is the father of black hole theory?

Answer 1

Quantum singularities (more commonly refered to as black holes) are in fact, infinitely dense raptures in the fabric of space. Q2+(J/M)2 ≤ M2 is a very common equation to define black holes in space. Some scientists believe that through black holes and the use of anti - gravity we can create wormholes, which could allow instantaenous access to anywhere in the universe.

Answer 2

In 1780 John Michell was the first person to propose the concept of an object whose escape velocity was greater than the speed of light. His model, however, was based on Newtonian physics while our current understanding of them is based on Einstein's general relativity. The modern relativity-based concept of a black hole was first introduced in 1916 by Karl Shwarzschild.

While the term "black hole" would not be popularized by John Wheeler until 1967, the concept of an astronomical body so massive that even light could not escape was first put forward by geologist John Michell in 1783, in a letter written to the Royal Society.

However most advancements for the black hole research were accomplished between 1958 and 1974.
