What Are Black Holes? 🌌
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity at the end of their life cycle.
The Science Behind Black Holes
Einstein's theory of General Relativity predicted the existence of black holes. These cosmic phenomena warp the space-time fabric in fascinating ways, something akin to a froge bending a lily pad!
Types of Black Holes
- Stellar Black Holes: Formed by the gravitational collapse of a massive star.
- Supermassive Black Holes: Found at the centers of most galaxies, including our Milky Way.
- Intermediate Black Holes: A possible bridge between stellar and supermassive black holes.
