Every night, we see a starry sky. But do you know? There’s a mysterious object in the sky. Introducing, the Black Hole, an object that is all over the universe but remains mysterious until now. It’s too mysterious so it borns so many questions.
What Is Black Hole Actually?
A black Hole, technically, is a space object that has very, very, very, very strong gravity.
Black Hole consists of a section called Singularity, and a section called Event Horizon. This part of Singularity is still very mysterious, and it is not known what it contains. Whereas Event Horizon is a region that has a very strong gravitational force.
Not even any object in the universe can escape its suction, including light, the fastest object in our universe. Because there is no light around it, as a result, Black Hole cannot be seen
It’s called a black hole, so how can we see it?
Well, we can not see it, but how do we know the Black Hole exists?
We can tell by looking at the effect of black hole gravity on the surrounding objects. Due to its high gravitational force, a Black hole can distort the light, allowing us to detect it.
In addition, a Black Hole can also be detected by observing the orbits of extraterrestrial objects, which often have strange orbits because they are apparently affected by the gravity of a nearby Black Hole.
Well, what if a thing gets sucked into the Black hole?
So, what happens if we go into the Black Hole? In short, we will experience a phenomenon, referred to by researchers as “Spaghettification,” where our body molecules will be melted down and united by singularity.
Then how is the process of forming ?
The black hole is formed from a large star that has run out of its “fuel”. Let’s imagine a very, very, very big star, which is 20 times the size of our sun or so, running out of fuel. Over time, this dead star will collapse at its own gravity. It becomes a point called “singularity”. And then there’s the Black Hole.
Is it possible for the sun to become a black hole?
Here’s a unique fact! Mathematically, everything in this world can become a Black Hole. Including us. Yeah, that’s right, man, you could become a Black Hole! Ha? How? By compacting ourselves, assuming our body mass is 70 kilograms, into one yoctometer (let’s see how small this is, bro?), which is definitely very very very small, we have become a Black Hole.
Likewise, if we compact our earth, so it’s about the size of a bean, it’ll also be a Black Hole. But don’t worry, naturally, we can’t be Black Hole, because our masses are too small.
Another unique fact, our own sun, doesn’t have enough mass to be a Black Hole!
Finally answered!
So hopefully this article will make you even more fascinated and curious about this amazing and mysterious universe of ours. And hopefully, this article doesn’t just suck your internet quota like a Black Hole attraction.
