  • The Science Behind Black Holes
    You'll learn:What is a black hole?A region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Black holes form from the collapse of massive stars, creating a point of infinite density known as the singularity.The Event Horizon:The boundary surrounding a black hole, beyond which nothing can return. This invisible "edge" plays a crucial role in the way black holes interact with their surroundings.Time Dilation:How time slows down near the event horizon due to the immense gravitational pull, creating a mind-boggling effect where time passes differently near a black hole compared to the rest of the universe.Supermassive Black Holes and Quasars:These giants, located at the centers of galaxies, emit powerful jets of radiation and may play a key role in galaxy formation and evolution.Hawking Radiation:Stephen Hawking’s discovery that black holes emit a faint radiation and can eventually evaporate over time.
