Topic > Black Holes: What They Are and What They Do - 1956

Geologist John Mitchell is credited with first coming up with the idea of ​​a black hole. He said that if a force could squeeze the sun down to a small enough size, it would have a gravitational field so strong that you would have to go faster than the speed of light to escape it (UTFC). All objects in the universe have what is called a Schwarzschild radius. The Schwarzschild radius of an object is the radius to which an object would have to be compressed to have an escape velocity greater than that of light or a black hole. (VSBH). Using Earth as an example, if all of Earth were compressed to the size of a peanut, it would become a black hole (VSBH). The Earth would then have a gravitational field so strong that not even light could escape it. However, there is no known force capable of compressing the earth to such a small size. Black holes were initially thought to have only simple mathematical concepts. There was apparently no possible way to squeeze any object into a space small enough to match its Schwarzschild radius. Later, however, astronomer Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that stars much larger than our Sun should theoretically be capable of collapsing into a black hole (UTFC). A star is like an inflated balloon: the force of gravity tries to compress it inwards and the air tries to push it outwards. Likewise, stars are held in balance by gravity which tries to collapse the star inward against the outward pressure of the star's internal reactions called nuclear fusion. If the star is large enough and the pressure inside it disappears rapidly, gravity should and should catapult the star to a tiny point with an almost infinite density with extremely strong gravitation... to the center of the paper... it's its antiparticle. When these particles appear, they will soon annihilate each other because they are exactly opposite (UCR). However, if one of these particle pairs appears on the event horizon of a black hole, the black hole's gravity will tear the particle pair apart. The normal particle will have just enough energy to escape the black hole. The particles escape as Hawking radiation. On the other hand, the antiparticle is sucked into the black hole. Since the antiparticle has a negative mass, it actually decreases the mass of the black hole. The effects of Hawking radiation are generally canceled out by the fact that the black hole absorbs more than it radiates (SST). But eventually it will have nothing left to absorb and will begin to lose mass. And at the end of its life, it will become unstable and suddenly release all its mass in a big bang...
