Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity, creating a region of spacetime with an infinite curvature known as a singularity.
The event horizon is the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape, not even light. Anything crossing the event horizon is pulled into the black holes singularity.
A singularity is a point of infinite density at the center of a black hole. Here, the laws of physics break down and our understanding of the universe reaches its limits.
As black holes merge or interact with other massive objects, they create ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves. These waves can be detected and studied by advanced scientific instruments.
Stephen Hawking was a renowned physicist and cosmologist who made significant contributions to the study of black holes. His groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of the universe.
Hawking radiation is a theoretical prediction by Stephen Hawking, stating that black holes are not entirely black, but emit a faint radiation due to quantum effects near the event horizon.
