Black Holes


I recently watched the "Chrsitopher nolan" movie INTERSTELLAR and there were somethings about black hole that i quiet didn't understood.Then i came to know many other people were having this problem,so this post is to you guys
  • Astronomers have spent much time analysing how stars form and how they develop.One problem was to explain what happened to a massive star at the end of its life.
  • In 1967 the term "black hole" was used to describe one type of object that is left when a massive star dies.
  • Four years later,Cygnus X-1 was found,the first candidate for a black hole

 1.DETECTING A BLACK HOLE 

  • Black holes appear black because nothing,not even light, can escape from their gravity.
  • Astronomers cannot detect them directly, but can "see" them because of the effect their gravity has on everything around them,such as gas from a nearby star.
  • The boundary of the black hole is called event horizon.

2.ENTERING A BLACK HOLE
  1.   At the start of the fall, everything appears normal.
  2. As the astronaut approaches the hole, he starts to be stretched.
  3. Light is also stretched to a longer wavelength so the astronaut appears redder
  4. Gravity stretches the astronaut.Close to the hole, he is torn apart


3.INSIDE A BLACK HOLE


  • Space and time a highly distorted inside a black hole.
  • Anyone unlucky enough to fall into one would be stretched to resemble spaghetti, as gravity pulled more on the feet than the head.
  • An observer watching the person fall would also see time running slower as the person fell towards the event horizon 

Roger Penrose 

  • The English mathematician Roger Penrose (b.1931) theorizes on the nature of space and time
  • He has shown that a massive collapsing star inevitably becomes a black hole, and that all black holes have a singularity point, occupying no virtually no space,that contains the entire mass of the dead star
  • Penrose believes the singularity is always hidden by an event horizon

Dystopian times (unabridged)

I read '1984' by George Orwell a few years back. I could only read up to 70% of it for some reason. In the first chapter, the protagonist secretly writes a journal entry as a sort of protest, or a way of telling his story to future generations. Thankfully, we're not there yet, but I imagine sooner or later, we as a collective world will reach that level of dystopia. I can't help but wonder, 'Has the world always been like this, or I'm just noticing it? ' Maybe yes, but the amount of injustice and horror that has been happening around the world has definitely only increased with time. There is so much injustice, violence, and horror happening around the globe, and the fact that I was born in this godforsaken country. It's awful enough to be a citizen of this country, but being a Muslim in India is only worse. The only thing I can do is be grateful for the fact that I was born in the South.  And all of this leads to one being in a certain dilemma. Do I try...

Who will win the Ballon D'Or 2018?

There are a lot of quality players out on the field with potential of acquiring the so called best player award in the world easily known as the “THE BALLON D’OR”. Since the year 2008 this mesmerising price has been shared among two, who are known to the world as  CRISTIANO RONALDO  and  LIONEL MESSI.  Both of them are so far presented with 5 of the awards equally throughout these years. To be honest no one else other than these two has not even came close into winning the award after 2008. But this year a number of different things have happened. Lots of underdogs have proved their worth and are told to be possible winners of this Glamorous award. As the World Cup is upon us on July, it will play a major role on declaring the Ballon D’Or winner this year. With the help of various experts and from the form they are in, we have reduced a 23 possible nominees list: (not in chromatic order)           1.  Li...

It's hard to find someone who doesn't have a bucket list these days. Things you should do before you die! Let me stop you right there. I'm not going to list typical things. Go scuba diving Go skydiving This is so cliche. Because of one out of 1000 are only able to do these things.
