  3. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...

    To test this prediction, Steinhauer created an analogue black hole using extremely cold atoms trapped in a laser beam. When he applied a second laser beam, it made a sort of step that the atoms ...

  5. 30-year-old black hole mystery has finally been solved

    www.aol.com/news/2016-08-01-30-year-old-black...

    A 30-year-long question about black holes has finally been resolved. Apparently, black holes twist space time like taffy. This finding is based off a principle put forward by renowned scientist ...

  6. Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity

    While in a non-rotating black hole the singularity occurs at a single point in the model coordinates, called a "point singularity", in a rotating black hole, also known as a Kerr black hole, the singularity occurs on a ring (a circular line), known as a "ring singularity". Such a singularity may also theoretically become a wormhole. [18]

  7. Primordial black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial_black_hole

    Depending on the model, primordial black holes could have initial masses ranging from 10 −8 kg [17] (the so-called Planck relics) to more than thousands of solar masses. . However, primordial black holes originally having masses lower than 10 11 kg would not have survived to the present due to Hawking radiation, which causes complete evaporation in a time much shorter than the age of the ...

    Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. The secret recipe of black holes: Study finds ...

  9. Kugelblitz (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)

    In other words, if enough radiation is aimed into a region of space, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime so much that it creates a black hole. This would be a black hole the original mass–energy of which was in the form of radiant energy rather than matter; [ 1 ] however, there is currently no uniformly accepted method of ...
