All around the universe there are "black holes". It is not possible to see a black hole, but its gravitational power is so great that it "gobbles" up anything in its way. A star does not live for ever. It develops over thousands of million of years. The temperature gets higher and higher over the years and when it is hot enough a nuclear reaction starts. The star then starts to swell and becomes what is called a "supergiant". Then two diffrent things happen. If it is a small star it begins to expand and contract over and over again, and, finally, when the star has no more energy, it turns into a white dwarf. If, on the other hand, it is a big star it explodes into a supernova which later becomes a black hole. An object that is drawn into a black hole is lost forever. Noone knows what happens to it or where it goes.

HMM... I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT THOUGH...

LOL i heard about that on a programme called Black Hole High. There is a black hole *hence the name of the school* in the school and these science nerds are trying to find ut how it got there, who is in control of it and why it was there instead of in the sky or space. It was a cool programme and it helped my with my science.

i once heard from a forum that black holes are formed where god divides by zero.

i dunno though, since i believe in the flying spaghetti monster..

oh, what do you think happens when two black holes try to suck each other up? they neutralize each other?

What i was thinking is that a black hole...is just a gravitational pull ..so basically..whatever it "sucks up"..would just get carryed around in it..abit like a hurricane or somthng ...but if there is somthing beyond that..like to another dimention (wow)..lol it could be intresting..cus it could basically be a rip in the space continium thingy majicker that people keep talking about .
have there actually been a supernova recorded ? have they got out that far to see other stars etc ? lol because it does confuse me how they know things like this..or like how they know what they look like (from looking at the pictures).

ehh. isn't the black hole created when two stars collided? ... correct me if i'm wrong. Lol. but there are theories that say, the black hole might be the key for time travel (i doubt that this is true). The reason behind is because the massive gravaity is strong that it can even to bend time. Like the specail relativity theory created by the greatest physictist, Einstein. Time isn't constant. So when you're up higher in elevation (where there are less gravaity), time will actually move faster. So, if you ever get sucked in by a black hole (assume that light could escape and people could see you getting sucked in) to them, the process of you being sucked in by the black hole might take a few hours or days, or even years. That is because the black hole extremely slow down time. And to the observers, their time are moving faster. Even though you might not feel as time is any slower for you, you might die just in a few nano seconds, but to observers.. it will take days. We might never know the truth about it, black hole is just another theory like all the other theories... it cannot be 100% proven because it cannot be seen... impossible to be seen.

Well, what i learnt from chimistry this year is that, supernova is a sun exploding. Why is the sun going to explode? It is because, a fussion reaction is occuring right now at this minute in our sun. It combines hydrogen atoms (or whatever.. can't remember, but hydrogen atoms are the basic) to form harder, denser elements. Like iron and other type of metal, or even harder. During the reaction, some mass will be lost, but then the lost mass was released in form of energy (e=mc^2). After the sun get to a certain point where it has nothign left to create a fussion reaction. It will burn out and explode. Then after that, it will type probably billions of years to get all the ingredients need to form another soon again. The sun is like a huge nuclear reactor =P.

Well.... lol. sorry about the messy explaination. I'm too lazy to read it again. lol.. And remember, i could be wrong.. i'm 15 after all =P.

I think Every hole is A Black One.


PS: Dont count this post for my hosting credit or enything like that.

i've watched it on tv (i think it was on discovery since it was a long time ago) before. they said that anything that is sucked into the hole gets flattened. they theorized that it goes into another realm or something, realm full of nothing.

black holes don't usually result from colliding stars. and i haven't heard of one before.

Well due to the techniquality of explaining everything I suggest you all take a look at the following websites to give you a better understanding of what a black hole is.

Black hole
Stellar black Hole
Mass
Solar Mass
Gravity
Worm Holes

with these links all the information you need is in here. But i can add my insight to what i know. Basically a black hole is the heaviest object in the known universe meaning all objects will get crush (man made) or torn apart (stars planets and other stuff) and be erased from exsistance. But some people believe in worm holes (it moves from end to another at a high rate of speed), meaning that anything caught in a black hole will be transported somewhere else
