  • Answers to Question about Black Holes
    What is a black hole, really? What happens to you if you fall in? Won't it take forever for you to fall in? Won't it take forever for the black hole to even form? These and other questions are addressed.

  • Black Hole Formation
    Once the star starts to collapse, it does not stop, and the star (and ultimately its atoms) will cave inward upon itself, resulting in the formation of a black hole.

  • Black Holes
    A black hole is the most powerful, most mysterious phenomenon in the universe. The gravity within a black hole is so intense that not even light, the fastest object we know of, can escape its force.

  • Blackhole
    A massive astrophysical object that is theorized to be created from the collapse of a neutron star. The gravitational forces are so strong in a black hole that they overcome neutron degeneracy pressure and, roughly speaking, collapse to a point (known as a singularity). Even light cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole within the black hole's so-called Schwarzschild radius.

  • Hawking Radiation
    The Hawking Radiation theory states that virtual particle-antiparticle pairs are sometimes created outside the event horizon of a black hole.
