Blackholes

Blackholes



The term blackhole is misleading, as they are not holes, but heavy, dense stellar bodies. The more dense, and massive an object, the more it warps the fabric of space-time, creating ever deepening gravity wells.

These gravity wells draw in other stellar bodies, adding their mass to that of the blackhole, increasing it’s gravity, and the size of what is called the event horizon.

The event horizon is the distance from the singularity that the gravitational effects weaken to the point where light can escape from the blackholes gravitational field. Objects like unaware astronauts and stray light particles can fall through the event horizon, but nothing can ever get out of the blackhole through the event horizon. Anything or anyone who falls through the event horizon will soon reach the region of infinite density, and the end of time.

The existence of the event horizon proves the wave-particle theory of light. This states that light has properties of both par...
