  2. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    In astrophysics, an event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Wolfgang Rindler coined the term in the 1950s. [1]In 1784, John Michell proposed that gravity can be strong enough in the vicinity of massive compact objects that even light cannot escape. [2]

  3. Horizon (general relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_(general_relativity)

    Event horizon, a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect the observer, thus referring to a black hole's boundary and the boundary of an expanding universe; Apparent horizon, a surface defined in general relativity; Cauchy horizon, a surface found in the study of Cauchy problems; Cosmological horizon, a limit of observability

  4. Mental image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_image

    Image codes are things like thinking of a picture of a dog when you are thinking of a dog, whereas a verbal code would be to think of the word "dog". [31] Another example is the difference between thinking of abstract words such as justice or love and thinking of concrete words like elephant or chair.

  5. Trapped surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_surface

    Closed trapped surfaces are a concept used in black hole solutions of general relativity [1] which describe the inner region of an event horizon. Roger Penrose defined the notion of closed trapped surfaces in 1965. [2] A trapped surface is one where light is not moving away from the black hole.

  6. Ergosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergosphere

    It is the speed of light that arbitrarily defines the ergosphere surface. Such a surface would appear as an oblate that is coincident with the event horizon at the pole of rotation, but at a greater distance from the event horizon at the equator. Outside this surface, space is still dragged, but at a lesser rate. [citation needed]

  7. Light cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

    Events inside the future light cone of E are those affected by a material particle emitted at E. Events inside the past light cone of E are those that can emit a material particle and affect what is happening at E. All other events are in the (absolute) elsewhere of E and are those that cannot affect or be affected by E.

  8. Visual thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking

    Psychologist E.R Jaensch states that eidetic memory as part of visual thinking has to do with eidetic images fading between the line of the after image and the memory image. [ citation needed ] A fine relationship may exist between the after image and the memory image, which causes visual thinkers from not seeing the eidetic image but rather ...

  9. Event Horizon Telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Horizon_Telescope

    The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a telescope array consisting of a global network of radio telescopes.The EHT project combines data from several very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) stations around Earth, which form a combined array with an angular resolution sufficient to observe objects the size of a supermassive black hole's event horizon.
