If a black hole was to advance towards Earth, all things on the pathway would be swallowed. These are sentiments echoed by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The next thought comes – is escape possible?
A black hole has gravitational acceleration so huge that nothing has the capability of escaping. Nevertheless, researchers have been astonished by the manner in which a star was breaking out of a black hole occurring at the Milky Way. This incident happened at the beginning of this week.
Tyson’s black hole concept
Tyson presents a damning outlook of how life will be if planet Earth was to be approached by a black hole. In 2007, based on his “Death By Black Hole” findings, he illustrated some gruesome facts about the human experience in such a situation.
In a public lecture, Tyson asserted that the black hole’s gravity was so severe to the extent that light had no ability to escape. This is founded on a high flight velocity that exceeds the speed of light.
Tyson utilized the light example to assert the view that nothing had the ability to come out of a black hole’s pathway.
He also explained that if death occurred, it would be difficult to investigate what happened.
Black hole’s gravity
Tyson deduced that the black hole’s gravity has similar characteristics as that of Earth. However, it has an aspect of continually pulling things inside. As a result, as a person falls in, he/she disappears and dies.
Additionally, a black hole is huge to the extent that an individual’s size is minute. Nevertheless, his/her height is of the essence once drawn inside.
A person’s feet fall first before the head and this is a dire situation. Originally, stretch and cosmic yoga feelings are experienced, but they go past the comfort zone because of the presence of tidal forces.
As a result, a person breaks into two parts most probably at the spinal cord’s base. This shattering continues until a stream of atoms is witnessed.
Science advancements have been instrumental in depicting the black hole concept. The others being witnessed include the development of electron rockets by Rocket Lab.
Probability of a black hole
A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
Theoretically, matter and energy falling into a blackhole could come out a “white hole” in another universe. Both the black hole and the white hole originated from an Einstein-Rosen bridge, popularly known as a wormhole.
With that in mind, theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski at Indiana University conjectured that when a black hole forms upon the collapse of a dying star, a universe is born at the same time from the white hole on the other side of the wormhole.
“Our universe could have itself formed from inside a black hole existing inside another universe,” he said.
Recent research has been debunking previous theories of physics and it might need a closer look to ferret out the truth if one is armed with the right tools of science and logic.
