Black holes are one of the fascinating objects in our universe and also the most mysterious. The black hole is a region of space where the force of gravity is so strong. Not even light, the fastest entity, can escape. The boundary of the black hole is the event horizon, a point of no return beyond which we can't see anything. When something crosses the event horizon, it collapses into the black hole. Many of us may have various questions like where do they come from? What is it made of? What happens if we fell into one of them? Would you have a chance of survival? To answer these questions, here is the following content.
Stars are a massive collection of atoms, mostly hydrogen. In their core, nuclear fusion crushes the hydrogen into helium which releases a tremendous amount of energy. This energy pushes against gravity, which is the inward force of stars. The energy by hot gases acts as an outward force. The gravity is balanced exactly at a point by those released gases; hence a star is alive.
But when the stars run out of fuel, there will be no hot gases to perform fusion; hence there will be no outward force to balance the inward pull of gravity. This collapse causes a huge explosion. If the star is massive enough, the entire mass of the core collapses into a BLACK HOLE.
WHAT IF WE FELL INTO ONE?
The black hole's gravity is so strong that even light can't get out. Every black hole has an event horizon, a point at which a gravitational pull becomes so strong that you can't escape from it, and is also called " THE POINT OF NO RETURN." If you find yourself outside of that point, you can see that the stars a twisted around a circle of darkness. As you start being pulled towards the black hole, you would be moving faster and faster by the force of gravity. If you fell by your feet first, your legs would be feeling the strongest pull than your head. Your body will stretch apart before you cross the event horizon.
To cross the event horizon, you have to choose a massive black hole that is a million times the sun's weight. In this case, your body will be unharmed untill you cross the event horizon because the gravity will be pulling both your feet and your head. But even if you cross the event horizon, there is a gravitational singularity at the center of a black hole, where density is infinite. So you would be squashed into the center and become one with the black hole. There is no possibility of returning. Black holes are full of wonders and mysteries. This article can give you clear characteristics of black holes and the mystery behind them. There may never be a conclusion for a black hole. These black holes have been fascinating me for a while. I'm sure that this article would amuse the readers and improve their view of thinking.
These black holes are full of wonders and mysteries. Still, scientists have been researching these black holes even though they are invisible. There are always interesting in their characteristics.
