Black Holes Essay, Research Paper
Our universe is a vast abyss, always expanding without any end. Many objects in
space are exciting and interesting. One great mystery is the black hole. Ever
since the early 1960 they have been the object of many scientists work. But has
been talked about among great minds
since 1783, when a astronomer named John Michell first recorded his findings of
the black holes. Questions still surround these holes like what are black holes,
how are they formed, and what happens if you were to go in one?
Black holes are the mysterious dark regions of the universe. A black hole is an
area of space made up of extremely dense matter in which everything is pulled in
and nothing can escape, not even light.
Not many people think a black hole is bottomless. No one knows what happens if
you were to be thrown into a black hole. The two most likely outcomes are you
could be thrown into a different galaxy with (worm hole) the other is that you
would be turned into matter by the force of a black hole.
All black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of a star, usually
having a great, massive, core, creating a mass so dense that light cannot escape
it, that is why they call it a black hole Light, the fastest moving thing in our
universe cannot escape a black hole. Earth?s escape velocity is about 7 miles
per second and the suns is 100 miles per second. Light has a much greater escape
velocity of about 186,000 miles per second.
Black holes are very mysterious and interesting. We know very little about them
and maybe we will never really know everything we want to know about them. one
day we might be able to answer all of our own questions and maybe even be able
to use them to our advantage and go where we have only been in our dreams.
