🕳️Black holes are the result of extreme warping of space-time.
💫Black holes come in a variety of sizes and can weigh billions of solar masses.
🔁Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity.
⏳Inside the event horizon of a black hole, time comes to a halt and space ceases to exist.
⭐Black holes were first discovered in 1964 and have since been detected through x-ray emissions.
What is a black hole?
—A black hole is the result of the extreme warping of space-time, where the gravitational forces are so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from within its event horizon.
How are black holes formed?
—Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravitational pull, resulting in a singularity that warps space and time.
Can anything escape from a black hole?
—No, once an object crosses the event horizon of a black hole, it is trapped and cannot escape, including light.
How do we detect black holes?
—Black holes can be detected through the emissions from their accretion disks, which are formed as matter falls into the black hole and gets heated to high temperatures.
Do black holes last forever?
—According to theories like Hawking Radiation, black holes may eventually evaporate over extremely long time periods, releasing energy and gradually reducing in mass.
