What is a black hole?

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

"A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull after having fallen past its event horizon. The term "Black Hole" comes from the fact that, at a certain point, even electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible light) is unable to break away from the attraction of these massive objects. This renders the hole's interior invisible or, rather, black like the appearance of space itself.

Despite its interior being invisible, a black hole may reveal its presence through an interaction with matter that lies in orbit outside its event horizon. For example, a black hole may be perceived by tracking the movement of a group of stars that orbit its center. Alternatively, one may observe gas (from a nearby star, for instance) that has been drawn into the black hole. The gas spirals inward, heating up to very high temperatures and emitting large amounts of radiation that can be detected from earthbound and earth-orbiting telescopes.[2][3][4] Such observations have resulted in the general scientific consensus that — barring a breakdown of our understanding nature— black holes do exist in our universe".(...)[5]


A black hole is a black hole.

Is not a symbol.

This therm can be use as tool for controll.

Spreading fear. "Do what I say or you will go to a black hole... Planet Earth".

But you know, there is nothing to fear for the ones who have Peace. For the Hearts that are Clean. Because even if Planet Earth went or go to a black hole in the Universe the Purest will be fine but not the dirty ones.

Isn't the concept of the black hole an amazing one? What is so strong in that thing that even light cannot escape? And if it is a hole in space, where does it lead to? And what is outside of space if there is a hole in it. Amazing. I agree with you, peace is essential and it eradicates a great deal of fear. Thanks for this post!

Thank you A Zelta

and well is not only one black hole, i'm not an astronomist but as far as I know, there are many black holes in the Universe, not just one.

and also i have heard somewhere or think about the relation of the black holes and a mother giving birth to a child...

is like... a new life.. and like in every other thing in the Universe and It's wisdom, the new life is according to our actions, thoughts, feelings, intentions, etc, etc

Aren't black holes at the center of all the galaxies that we know about?
If that is true, picture this:

Planets, which may or may not be able to support life, revolve around suns.
Suns, which may or may not have planets around them, revolve around black holes.

What do black holes revolve around?

yes there are many...but it is so interesting to me. It is hard to imagine that gravity can trap light because it seems light is not physical, I know sunlight is made of photons and waves, but I wonder about our little household lights too


Very cool

Here is a good article on Black Holes

Thanks again for posting this Ines

ah very nice link AZelta, thank u!!

I have to go out of the black hole, I mean out of the computer, ha ha, but I'll be back!!

thanks to u too Greenguy, interesting and funny what u said,

see u guys later, keep the fun on!!

P&L!!

yuhuuuuuuu!!!

yep, not even the light.

cos actually light is physicall too.

the sun has a mass.

and the light we see is what the sun send to us.

it's physicall.

we can feel it with our tact. like a caress from the sun.

.....and the light.... from what i read... are waves of photons... very little particles.........

i would like to study more about the light... and things like this..

the cosmos, the beauty and wisdom of The Universe.

and i know u know.... but i'm just fascinated with this....

about the little household lights.... well.... i know but.. u know what....

u remind me when i was in a physics lab... and we were learning about electricity and how awesome was for me to see... how when u make that move in the switch ur cutting or letting pass the electrones.... so that u have light or not in the bulbs...

so cool, hey?

WOWWWWWWWWWW that is way cool *daydreams* I am speechless. Beautiful simply beautiful

I'm speechless too now... ha ha....

i'm happy u liked it, i will posting more about this.

it's just so ... beautiful, yes ur right.

So.. the fact that a black hole can trapp even light can be understood if we see that light is physical.

Another fact that light is physical, is that the eye can detect it.

eye, sight, physical sense.

"That it is visible for the human eye".

"Light is composed of elementary particles called photons".

And what we see is a fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum which is infinite.

And I don't know... still need to study and read more, but... the scientits.. call it an object.

But before studying .. I think.. that... is not an object but it is just movement....

A circular movement.

so strong.

and... they say... u only can notice a black hole in the Universe if is something around of it....

A movement....

When u move water, for example in a glass, with ur finger... U notice ur doing a hole in the water...

Also, they say, the name "black" hole.. is because light cannot exist in it...

"hole" ... must be because of it's circular form....

and... it also suggests that u can go inside of it........

But... "Life" could end in there?.....

No. I don't think so...

so.. it is truly about "transformation"...

because... everything that starts... ends... and everything that ends... starts again....

that's transformation.

energy it's never destroid only.. transformed..

So.........If... and only If... Planet Earth would go into a black hole...

It would be only about a transformation......

We live, we die, we die, we live....

I think... fearing a black hole.... would be the exact same thing about fearing "dead"....

Why would we should fear dead?....

If it's only about a transformation.

Well..... many times we fear dead... because we know we are not ready for it.
We wanted to do more things, we have more things to do...

We can do so many transformations being alived.

....The next is off topic but... still I want to mention it. A friend of mine... one of my best, and dearest friends in my life, commited suicide.

He wanted to do that all his life, ironically... Well not all his life. We met at kindergarten.. when we were 2 years old and met again at age 14 and 19... And around that age, he told me we wanted to kill himself ... And he tried until he could do it.. when we were... like 22, 23...

The thing is I heard he said to me... a few time after he died... "my problems didn't finished when I died, actually now is worst cos I can't do, what I could when I was alived".

"the problems doesn't finish, just dying"...

There is always life after dead...

So other reason... we can fear dead... is because we know... we're gonna face our consequences....... Sooner or later we do. And I think it's a blessing when we face our consequences alived, so we can do something about it. Learn, change, transform... forgive, be forgiven...

....I also think that.... "awakening" is to be able to see, to realize something...

We repeat and repeat our mistakes so many times until we learn... something and then.... We... can go and learn something else.... So, the faster we can recognize our mistakes........ or the things that we learnt wrong from others... the faster we evolve... Cos we can go to the next, and the next and the next... "level"...

Now...

What is "darkness"?....

is it like they say... "the absence of the light"...?...

No, I don't think so.

Darkness is still light "living" there... In the darkness...

Darkness... is ....Light in it's lower frecuency.

So.. the fact that a black hole... can trapp "light"... to me this is saying.... It's absorbing the light....... And with such a gravitational force.... A very very strong.... movement which pulls the light... which pulls everything but even the light which must be... the most sutil ....... form of matter.... those so little particles called photons.......

Just.. reading a little about what is Light......... I'm in awe........ I'm in awe when I see the light of the day........ and I realize..... "it's physical!!"......

wow.... really........it's.......going outside and see the magnificense of.... this "object"... so.......sutil...... so..... with that huge range..... So...... Beautiful........... That is light.........
