Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
I find black holes very interesting. I love to examine them on Google, check to see how molecules/atoms get created, and basically admire their beauty. It’s an amazing thing God has created.
It’s not just black holes that my interest is limited to. I like different varieties.
I like them for that fact that they have such strong gravity!
Wow, the fact that you think a god created black holes takes the mystery and beauty out of them.
Ironically, I was JUST reading about BH’s. I never knew there were different types and that some rotate and others don’t. Also the distortions they create in space-time are mind-staggering.
I agree that they are one of God’s most awesome creations. I’ll finish reading about BH’s tomorrow…it’s kinda late where I am.
I find them interesting, because they have the capacity to run a life cycle, rather than remain indefinitely.
i just like the way they mess with all the theories layed down for our regular universe. Theres everything and then theres black holes. fun just even trying to get your head around the notion of them, big plugholes in space as the seem
That they have really strong gravity that not even light can pass through, If you intend to actually go into a black hole you will be stretched as thin as a spaghetti pasta and then you will be ripped apart.
I find everything about space amazing, especially black holes. They are so interesting. I want to know if black holes suck in everything even light, where does everything go? and what is inside it that sucks everything up. space is awesome!
The most massive stellar black hole is about 34 solar masses in the Triangulum Galaxy. That’s even higher than the minimum mass for a star to leave a black hole remnant. The most massive supermassive black hole is OJ287. It packs about 18 billion solar masses or about the mass of regular dwarf galaxies themselves. It has a binary, another supermassive black hole of about 100 million solar masses.They are expected to collide and merge in the next 10,000 years. the merger will result in extreme gravity waves that will be felt across the universe. Intermediate-sized black holes are also hypothesized to exist. GCIRS13E which orbits the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is about 1,300 solar masses while others are theorized to hang in the centers of globular clusters. Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is about 3.7-4.2 million solar masses. Contrary to popular belief, black holes do not actively hunt other objects and feed on them. That just isn’t true. They don’t feed in one go and cannot feed endlessly. They need to ceremoniously feed on matter by pulling them on an accretion disc and then spill some out in powerful jets along the poles. Black holes are powerful X-Ray sources due to such activity whenever they are feeding and they have something to eat.

I like black holes too. I think it’s because singularities in general interest me =D Like the graph of 1/x. What on earth happens at x=0 that causes the numbers to change from negative infinity to positive? I can’t help feel the mysteries of the universe are locked within the centre of a blackhole. Perhaps if I ever worked out how many zeroes are in one I’d understand how everything came to be…
And I agree, a dying star is a beautiful thing. The universe is a strange place, I’m glad you share my enthusiasm for it!
