THE BLACK HOLE, EVENT HORIZON, SINGULARITY, WORMHOLE, THE BIG BANG, THE NEW UNIVERSE, THE LIGHT WAVEFORM BURSTING INTO MY ROOM, THE ROYGBIV, FIRST OF TWO VIEWS OF THE UNIVERSE
--------------------------------‐-------------------------------
THE MILKY WAY STRETCHES NEARLY 20 MILLION YEARS MORE AND APPEARS 15 TIMES WIDER THAN THE LUMINOUS SPIRAL DISC. THIS IS THE DARK HOLE WHICH EMITS NO LIGHT AND THE DIAMETER IS DIFFICULT TO MEASURE.
ALIS DEASON AN ASTROPHYSICIST AND HER COLLEAGUES HAVE USED NEARBY GALAXY TO LOCATE THE MILKY WAY's EDGE AT 1.9 MILLION LIGHT YEARS.
ON THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY EINSTEIN PREDICTED HOW BLACK HOLES ARE FORMED. IN 1915 EINSTEIN PRODUCED HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY AND IMPLIED THE EXISTENCE OF BLACK HOLES. IN HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY EINSTEIN PREDICTED HOW BLACK HOLES ARE FORMED. WHEN A SUN DIES, IT WOULD LEAVE A SMALLER REMNANT CORE. IF THE MASS OF THE CORE IS THREE TIMES BIGGER THAN OUR SUN, GRAVITY OVERWHELMED ALL OTHER FORCES AND THIS TURNS THE CORE INTO A BLACK HOLE. BLACK HOLE's GRAVITY IS SO STRONG THAN NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN'T GET OUT. GAMMA RAY BURST THAT THE WHOLE EMITS AND THAT IS WHY YOU CAN SOMEWHAT DETECT THE BLACK HOLE.
NOW, STEPHEN HAWKING DISCOVERED THIS BURST WHICH CARRIED HIS NAME. HE BELIEVES THAT BLACK HOLES CAN BE THE PASSAGES TO A NEW UNIVERSE. BLACK HOLE HAS AN EVENT HORIZON, WHEN MATTER APPROACHES THE EDGE OF THE BLACK HOLE. THIS IS THE POINT WHEN GRAVITATIONAL PULL BECOMES SO STRONG THAT YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM IT. IT IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THAT POINT, YOU WILL FIND THAT A STAR's SHAPE IS TWISTED AROUND A PERFECT CIRCLE OF DARKNESS.
BUT AS YOU START BEING PULLED FORWARD YOU'd BE MOVING FASTER, ACCELERATED BY ITS FORCE OF GRAVITY, AND YOUR BODY STARTS STRETCHING APART BECAUSE THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL IS VERY STRONG. FALLING WITH YOUR FEET FIRST, YOUR LEGS WOULD BE FEELING A STRONG GRAVITATIONAL PULL THAN YOUR HEAD.
THE MOST COMMON BLACK HOLES ARE CALLED, STELLAR, THAT CAN STRETCH YOU TO ABOUT 9 MILES (15 KM) ACROSS AND BE AS HEAVY AS 20 SUNS.
BEING PULLED BY A STELLAR BLACK HOLE WILL COMPLETELY TORN YOU APART BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN REACHED THE EVENT HORIZON. A PERSON OBSERVING YOU OUTSIDE THE EVENT HORIZON WILL SEE YOU SLOWING DOWN, GETTING DIMMER AND REDDER. IN THE END, YOU'd JUST FREEZE NEVER CROSSING THE EVENT HORIZON. TIME COMES TO A STANDSTILL AND SPACE MOVES FORWARD.
THERE WILL COME A TIME THAT A BLACK HOLE EVENTUALLY DIES EMITTING ALL PARTICLES IT HAD ABSORBED, EVEN THE PARTICLES IN YOUR BODY. HAWKING DEVISED A WAY WHERE YOUR BODY CAN REVIVED, AND NOT LOST. HE THEORIZED THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATE UNIVERSES WITH DIFFERENT HISTORIES. IN ONE REALITY YOU FELL INTO A BLACK HOLE. IN THE SECOND, THERE WAS NO BLACK HOLE. IN THE FIRST EVENT YOU FELL IN THERE. IF YOU CROSSED THE EVENT HORIZON AND THERE WAS A BLACK HOLE, SO BE IT. BUT IF YOU HAPPENED TO BE IN A REALITY WHEN THE BLACK HOLE DIDN'T EXIST, YOU'LL STILL BE ALIVE IN A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE.
A SINGULARITY APPEARS WHEN MATTER REACHES ITS POINT OF INFINITE DENSITY. MANY SCIENTISTS THINK THAT THERE IS NO WAY OUT FROM A BLACK HOLE, AND ONCE INSIDE YOU'd GET SHREDDED TO PIECES. THERE MIGHT BE AN ESCAPE HATCH. IT COULD LEAD TO A WORMHOLE, THE "BACK DOOR" OF THE BLACK HOLE.
BLACK HOLES DON'T CARRY SHADOWS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T SOLID OBJECTS THAT PREVENT LIGHT FROM PASSING THEM.
NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ROGER PENROSE, THE HOLDER OF NOBEL PRIZE, AN ASTROPHYSICIST AND MATHEMATICIAN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. IN 1960, HE HELD THE FORMATION AND STABILITY OF BLACK HOLE. ON THE SAME YEAR, THE OTHER HALF IS SHARED BY ASTRONOMERS REINHARD GENZEL OF THE MAX PLANK INSTITUTE FOR THE EXTRATERRESTIALITY IN PHYSICS AND ANDREA GHEZ OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. BTW, ANDREA GHEZ WAS THE 4TH WOMAN TO WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE. BOTH ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED THE EXISTENCE OF THE SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE AT THE CENTER OF THE MILKY WAY, OUR GALAXY.
THE CONCEPT OF A BLACK HOLE AND OBJECT SO MASSIVE THAT ITS GRAVITY PREVENTS LIGHT FROM ESCAPING, EMERGE IN PIECES OVER THE COURSE OF DECADES. ALBERT EINSTEIN PUBLISHED HIS THEORY OF GRAVITY, THE GENERAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY IN 1915. IT STATES THAT GRAVITY ARISES WHEN MASS AND ENERGY WARPS OR DISTORTS SPACE AND TIME, CAUSING THE TRAJECTORIES OF FREELY FALLING OBJECTS TO CURVE, LIKE EARTH's ELLIPTICAL ORBIT AROUND THE SUN.
ROBERT OPPENHEIMER AND GEORGE VOLCOFF, BOTH ASTROPHYSICISTS, CALCULATED, THAT WHEN A NEUTRON STAR GREW TOO MASSIVE IT SHOULD COLLAPSE UNDER ITS OWN WEIGH, LIVING BEHIND ONLY ITS ULTRA INTENSE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD.
AFTER STEPHEN HAWKING's DEATH IN 2018, ROGER PENROSE PREDICTION ARE FRAMED IN THE SO-CALLED HAWKING-PENROSE THEOREM. PENROSE SAID THAT HAWKING TOOK HIS IDEAS REGARDING THE FORMATION OF HORIZONS AROUND BLACK HOLES AND APPLIED THEM TO COSMOLOGY AND THE BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSE.
AND SO WHERE AND WHEN IS THIS BLACK HOLE EXISTING? THE BLACK HOLE IS THE REGION WHERE GRAVITATION FIELD IS SO VERY STRONG THAT NOTHING, EVEN LIGHT WHICH TRAVELS AT 186,000 MILES PER SECOND, OR SO MUCH FASTER, CAN ESCAPE. SIR ROGER PENROSE PROPOSED THAT BLACK HOLES ARE AN INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE OF THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY WHERE THE ELEMENTS OF SPACE TIME WARPS OR DISTORTS EACH OTHER, LIKE IT SLOWLY DOWN TIME AND SPACE MOVES ON OR CURVES INTO ITS DISTORTED SYMMETRY. THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN, CALLED, THE BLACK HOLE's BOUNDARY OF EVENT HORIZON.
BLACK HOLES WILL EVENTUALLY EXPLODE SIMILAR TO HOW THE UNIVERSE BEGAN.THEY CAN MAKE GROW INTO SMALLER AND SMALLEST AND LEAK ENERGY MORE RAPIDLY. EVENTUALLY, THE BLACK HOLE WILL DISAPPEAR IN TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION.
I BELIEVE ON THE PRIMARY CONCEPT OF MASS AND ENERGY AND HOLDS TRUE ANY WHERE AND EVERY WHERE. WHERE DO THEY COME FROM AND YOU MAY ASK YOUR QUESTION FROM A WAVE APPEARING BY LIGHT WITH A HIZZING SOUND. A WAVE OF LIGHT CANNOT SIMPLY APPEAR IN A PREVIOUSLY EMPTY SPACE. IT HAS TO BE MADE FROM MATTER OR ENERGY THAT COLLAPSES ON ITS OWN SELF BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY WEIGH OF INFINITE DENSITY. IT RUNS SLOWLY LIKE YOU COULD SLOWLY KICK THE WAVE TO STOP ITS FIRING OUT. BUT I DIDN'T DO IT FOR FEARING WHAT WILL HAPPENED TO ME, UNTIL I FOLLOWED IT TO ITS FINAL END AND BURSTED, AND MY ROOM BECAME SO BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT. IF I ALLOWED MY BODY TO BE HIT, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN T0 ME? SHALL I BURST INTO FLAME TURNING MY BODY INTO PIECES? WHAT DO YOU THINK? THAT HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES ALREADY.
ANOTHER THING. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ROYGBIV? IT SYMBOLIZES THE COLORS, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO AND VIOLET.
SOME 40 YEARS AGO, MORE OR LESS, BEFORE I WENT TO MY SCHOOL, I SAW THE ROYGBIV APPEARING IN A CENTIPEDE FORMATION, BUT IT DIDN'T CRAWL BUT FLY. IT JUST CONTINUED TO FLY FROM MY BED AND FLY WITH THAT AMAZING COLOR IN SQUARES SURROUNDING ME FOR ABOUT 30 SECOND, AND EVENTUALLY DISSAPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE. COULD THAT BE THE COLORS APPEARING IN A RAINBOW? BLACK AND WHITE ARE EXCLUDED, FOR THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED COLORS. YOU CAN ASK YOUR SCIENCE TEACHERS ABOUT.
NOW GOING BACK INTO THE BLACK HOLE AND TELL US WHAT's HAPPENING INSIDE. BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHY? THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A LIGHT CONE. IN SUCH AN EVENT, A PERSON OR ANY OBJECT COULD BE TORN APART BY GRAVITATIONAL FORCES AND THE INTENSE GRAVITY COULD PREVENT SIGNAL FROM ESCAPING. HOWEVER, PARTICLES, INCLUDING YOURS, CAN FALL INTO A BLACK HOLE AND PASS THROUGH A THIN TUBE, OR A WORMHOLE, AND COME OUT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE. TO SURVIVE THE WORMHOLE BY IMAGINARY TIME, WE HAVE TO INVENT A REAL AND IMAGINARY TIME SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS AND DESCRIBE THE UNIVERSE AS A SUCCESSION OF EVENTS IN THEM.
THE UNIVERSE IS IN ITS FINITE SIZE BUT WITHOUT ANY BOUNDARY OR EDGE TO DETERMINE HOW THE UNIVERSE BEHAVES. IF THE PROPOSAL THAT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE WOULD BE IN THE NO-BOUNDARY STATE WERE CORRECT, THERE WOULD BE NO SINGULARITY. HOW THE UNIVERSE BEGAN WOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE LAWS OF SCIENCE.
AS, HAWKING PUTS IT, "I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE UNIVERSE HAD A BEGINNING, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT A SINGULARITY. THE LAWS OF SCIENCE WERE GOD's CHOICE FOR HOW THE UNIVERSE BEHAVES".
"THERE ARE TWO VIEWS OF THE UNIVERSE: 1). ONE IS THAT IT IS RULED BY MYSTERIOUS SPIRITUALITY 2). THE OTHER IS THAT IT IS GOVERNED BY RATIONAL LAWS", PROFESSOR STEPHEN HAWKING, SAID. THE FIRST IS FACTUALLY EXISTING BUT UNEXPLAINABLE. BUT, THAT's TRUE AND I CAN PERSONALLY VOUCH FOR THAT. THERE WAS ONE TIME WHEN I COMMUNICATED WITH MY DEAD BROTHER AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER DO IT. "LING", HIS COMMON NAME, I KNOW ITS HEARTENING AND BOTH OF US ARE SAD. AND HIS FACE SUDDENLY CHANCED FROM NORMAL TO EXTREME SADNESS. I GOT SUDDENLY REMORSE AND HIS FACE TURNED TO NORMAL AGAIN. OH, MY GOD!, OH, MINE!, OH, MY!. IF I LEAVE THE IMPRESSIVE PORTAL AND LEFT ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. BUT, I JUST CAN'T DO IT. THERE WERE MANY THINGS THAT I CAN TELL YOU, BUT I FEEL RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND IN THIS, OUR INCOMPREHENSIBLE UNIVERSE.
THE SECOND IS WHAT I CAN TELL YOU AND FEEL THE PLEASURE ABOUT. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED AND PROVED BY MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION THE CONSISTENCY OF RATIONAL LAWS, PROVIDED IT CAME AFTER THE INTENSE OBSERVATION.
THAT IS ALL ABOUT THE BLACK HOLE AND THE UNIVERSE, FOLKS, AND BYE-BYE.
