  2. Black hole greybody factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_greybody_factors

    Black hole greybody factors are functions of frequency and angular momentum that characterizes the deviation of the emission-spectrum of a black hole from a pure black-body spectrum. As a result of quantum effects, an isolated black hole emits radiation that, at the black-hole horizon, matches the radiation from a perfect black body. [ 1 ]

  3. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    If one were to fall into a black hole feet first, the gravity at their feet would be much stronger than at their head, causing the person to be vertically stretched. Along with that, the right side of the body will be pulled to the left, and the left side of the body will be pulled to the right, horizontally compressing the person. [3]

  4. Body roundness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_roundness_index

    Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape. Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation. [1] Introduced in 2013, the BRI calculation can be used to estimate total and visceral body fat.

  5. Ergosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergosphere

    A black hole with modest angular momentum has an ergosphere with a shape approximated by an oblate spheroid, while faster spins produce a more pumpkin-shaped ergosphere. The equatorial (maximal) radius of an ergosphere is the Schwarzschild radius, the radius of a non-rotating black hole. The polar (minimal) radius is also the polar (minimal ...

  6. Black hole thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_thermodynamics

    In physics, black hole thermodynamics [1] is the area of study that seeks to reconcile the laws of thermodynamics with the existence of black hole event horizons.As the study of the statistical mechanics of black-body radiation led to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, the effort to understand the statistical mechanics of black holes has had a deep impact upon the ...

  7. 3D body scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Body_Scanning

    This in part due to the lack of ergonomic theory relating to how to identify key landmarks on the body morphology. [8] [9] The suitability of 3D body scanning is also context dependent as the measurements taken [10] and the precision of the machine [11] are highly relative to the task in hand rather than being an absolute. Additionally, a key ...

  8. Kerr metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_metric

    The Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon.The Kerr metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; these equations are highly non-linear, which makes exact solutions very difficult to find.

  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.
