A black hole is a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong, not even light can escape. What intrigues the most about these mysterious objects in our universe?

I would say rather that the laws of physics are not broken but that we do not understand all the laws of physics. To say that something is broken implies that is should normally not be broken. The laws are just different in black holes

Beautiful in the metaphysical sense? I mean beauty is usually associated with vision, which involves light reflecting off of something with a physical surface. A black hole cannot reflect light because the light gets trapped in its void, which is the opposite of a surface, so it's invisible.

It is thought that the matter that goes into a black hole gets crushed into a tiny point at the center called a "singularity". That's the only place that matter is, so if you were to fall into a black hole you wouldn't hit a surface as you would with a normal star. And nope there is nothing that can escape black hole .

Universe is big, expanding far out. People are dense and complex, going far minute even smaller than subatomic particles, which form everything all around. I’ve come to realize there is order and patterns in the forming of things at different levels -which means n0n-random. Random means mess and no order, no structure, which means nothingness and meaninglessness. But there’s so much structure in things to be able to form. You can’t have so much order and structure if everything were meaningless and directionless. This is one of the reasons for the belief in intelligent design/intelligent designer/ intelligent Creator outside and inside of the universe. Keep searching -‘search and you will find.’ God Bless :)

Why is it called a black hole? If it forms from a star that once was almost a perfect sphere, wouldn't it still be a sphere just infinitely small?
@freddygonzalez8797
Жыл бұрын
Supposedly black holes are stars that imploded. The density of gravity is so great that light cannot escape it. Another theory or formulated fact is that the mass or substance in the black hole from its original star is now so heavy/concentrated/dense that one teaspoon and or tablespoon can weigh greater than a Volkswagen Bug!

In my childhood, I used to get a very strange, terrifying dream, after which I was scared to go back to sleep, fearing the nightmare would return. The dream was like this. Darkness has no mass, as far as we know. But imagine all that darkness condensing, shrinking into a dense mass of body, like a ball, like dough. I no longer have that dream. But when I later read about the blackhole, I could understand the concept very well.

When i hold one of my finger it will become bigger and biggger. its like hallucination but i didt really sleep at that time. I wonder whats kind of dream is that but suppose human can travel thru space and time in their brains. Sometimes i'd dream about some place that i didnt arrived yet for several times and at some time when i come to the exact place i noticed that id already been there. And after that the dream about that place is gone forever. This kind of dreams that i really remember was 3 places.
