Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the scientific discipline concerned with the events that are taking place on the grandest of stages; the universe. Questions about the formation and evolution of the planets, solar systems, stars, and galaxies found within the universe, as well as questions regarding black holes, cosmic rays, particle and nuclear astrophysics, nucleosynthesis, and magnetohydrodynamics should be directed here.

What happens if heaven get sucked in a black hole?

You'd die long before you reached the singularity or even the event horizon. Tidal forces would stretch you and rip you apart. Note that tidal forces apply even in free fall. Once you get past the event horizon all the matter in your body is crushed into an unimaginably small volume called a singularity.

How old is the solar system in scientific notation?

The age of the solar system is estimated to be about 4.6 x 10^9 years.

What happens to gravity inside a black hole?

Inside a black hole, gravity becomes incredibly strong, pulling everything toward the center. This results in a point of infinite density called a singularity. At the singularity, gravity is so powerful that it warps spacetime to the point where normal physics breaks down.

How many people are killed in the past from asteroid?

There is no known documented case of a person being killed directly by an asteroid impact. However, there have been instances where asteroids have caused damage and injuries due to their explosions or shock waves upon impact, like the Tunguska event in 1908 in Siberia.

Is a black hole is brighter than you a metaphor?

Yes, the phrase "Is a black hole brighter than you?" is a metaphor used to emphasize how dim or unremarkable an individual's presence or performance may be compared to the extreme darkness of a black hole. It is not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a figure of speech highlighting the contrast in brightness.

Where would a black hole be located on an h-r diagram?

A black hole does not appear on an H-R diagram. An H-R diagram is a scatter plot of stars based on their luminosity and temperature. Black holes are objects with extreme gravitational forces, not visible light output.

Why do things need to be lightweight in space?

Objects sent into space need to be made as lightweight as possible due to the huge cost. A large amount of fuel is needed to achieve the required escape velocity and orbital speed for every kg sent - this could be as much 10,000 US dollars per kg (or 22,000 US dollars per pound)

How cosmic rays harmful to human?

Cosmic rays can be harmful to humans because they have high energy levels that can damage cells and DNA, leading to an increased risk of cancer. They can also interfere with electronic equipment, such as in spacecraft or satellites, posing a threat to astronauts and technology in space. Protective measures, such as shielding and monitoring exposure levels, are important for mitigating the risks of cosmic rays.

Is black hole a real game?

honestly, i don't know. It does look like a fun game. But really from all I know, Black Hole is just a game from the nickelodeon movie, Best Player

How close can you get to the black hole?

There is a black hole in the center of every galaxy, so i think that would be the closest one. (it is a stationary black hole, and since we are positioned at the edge of our galaxy we aren't going anywhere anytime soon)

Why does the stellar mass of 5.5 turn into a black hole?

When a star starts to run out of fuel, it will begin to cool, and as it cools, it begins to collapse. If a star is massive enough, there will come a point where the neutrons in the centre of the star can no longer withstand the force of gravity acting upon it. This then results in the star continuing to collapse further; it becomes more and more dense, and ultimately forms a black hole.

What is the purpose of Black hole and why does a black hole turn into a black hole?

When a Super Giant or Hyper Giant Star nears the end of it life, it goes through a process of shedding layers of itself, a little like onion layers cast off one after the other. When it reaches a level where it takes more energy to convert its fissionable material than it produces (this is normally iron) Then a catastrophic explosion takes place called a Super Nova. The Star has two option here depending on its mass. If after having gone Nova it has less than 9, but more than 3, masses of our sun it will collapse into a Neutron Star. If however it has still got more than 9 times more mass than our Sun then the gravity will collapse it down into a black hole. Black holes are the vacuum cleaners of the universe and are also believed to be at the centre of every galaxy. If the theory is correct every Galaxy at its core has a Super Giant Black hole helping keep things in it orbit around the Galaxy.

How do micro black holes evaporate?

Micro black holes evaporate through a process called Hawking radiation, proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking. Due to quantum effects near the event horizon, particle-antiparticle pairs are created, with one falling into the black hole and the other escaping. Over time, this causes the black hole to lose mass and eventually evaporate.

Will hydroponics work in outer-space?

Yes, hydroponics can work in outer space. In fact, many experiments have been done on the International Space Station using hydroponic systems to grow plants in microgravity. Hydroponics is well-suited for space environments as it allows efficient use of resources like water and nutrients in a controlled setting.

Is black holes bigger than galaxies?

A black hole has a much larger mass than a planet. The mass of a black hole, however, is contained in a point that is smaller than some fundamental particles. The event horizon of a typical stellar mass black hole is much smaller than any planet, but the event horizons of supermassive black holes are much larger.

Is this universe accelerating decelerating or remaining constant?

We might EXPECT that the rate of expansion might be slowing due to gravity, but the fact is that we don't have any idea. Is there such a thing as "dark energy", and if so, does it act repulsively? We don't have a clue.

But hold that thought; we may find out in the next 50 years or so.

How can light be trapped by the gravitational pull of a black hole if light has no mass?

When photons pass by a black hole, nothing happens, except gravitational lensing, wherein the photon is taking a shorter path due to the mass of the singularity more or less "stretching" space. Photons have no mass, so they are not affected by gravity at all. However, that is not necessarily true, I will follow up on this in a second. When a photon passes through the event horizon of a black hole, then it is caught within forever (Or at least until the singularity evaporates). A logical followup question would be if gravity doesn't affect photons, why can't they escape? Back to photon mass. Photons have momentum, so they must have mass but it's not regular mass. They have relativistic mass (Which is basically the same as Newtonian mass) which is dependent on the photon's wavelength and gravity doesn't care. Mass is mass. So now we've figured that photons do in fact have mass. Since a gravitational singularity in essence is nothing more than just an unimaginably dense object with extremely high mass, it effects gravity just like everything else but since it is so compressed into a tiny point. When you squeeze anything down past what is called the Schwarzchild radius (Which is proportional to the object's mass), you have a gravitational singularity and a black hole around it. If you were to compress an average human being down to about the size of 0.1 yoctometers (1x10^25 meters), that person would now be a black hole.

Back to the point: Once you pass that radius, the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light and it is impossible to go faster than light. If you have any real mass, you can't even travel at the speed of light because time essentially slows down so you cannot go faster. Therefore when photons pass through the event horizon, they are trapped because photons only travel at the speed of light, no faster but they can travel slower.

When and where did people start contaminating the planet?

Agricultural activities began impacting the environment around 10,000 years ago, with the advent of practices such as deforestation and soil erosion. Industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries significantly accelerated pollution levels through the release of harmful chemicals and emissions into the air, water, and soil.

What would you see when you are through a black hole?

It is currently believed that if you were to pass through a black hole, you would likely be stretched and torn apart by the extreme gravitational forces in a process known as spaghettification. However, our current understanding of physics breaks down at the singularity within a black hole, so what happens beyond that point is not known for certain.

How big a hole is needed for a shower valve?

Typically a hole for a single handle shower valve can be easily created by a good 3 5/8" hole saw. If u are installing a 2 or 3 handle valve the hole is 1 1/8inch hole saw. Take care in using the hole saw. Please read all manufacturer directions before u install this valve.

What sphere do you see meteors?

Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.

What is the black hole theory called?

The theory describing black holes is known as general relativity, developed by Albert Einstein. It explains how the massive gravitational force at the core of a black hole warps space and time to create a region from which not even light can escape.

What are the requirements for a star that can form a black hole?

A star must have a mass several times greater than our Sun's to form a black hole. When the star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it collapses under gravity, leading to a supernova explosion, which can leave behind a black hole if the remnant mass is sufficient.

Why quasars are emmitting from black holes during sucking dust?

A quasar forms when a very large amount of matter falls toward a supermassive black hole, too much to fit in all at once. As the matter falls toward the black hole it becomes extremely hot, hotter than the cores of stars; so hot that atoms break apart. Because of this extreme heat the material emits enormous amounts of radiation in the form of light, x-rays, and gamma rays. Some material falls into the black hole while the resit is expelled in two jets of subatomic particles at nearly the speed of light.

How are gravity and black holes related?

Black holes are the cause of gravity... Black holes are created when a supernova condenses, creating a black hole. It condenses because gravity has won the battle between the star's core.

So basically, gravity fuels a Black hole.
