Black Holes and Wormholes Part 2: The Black Hole

After that big discussion on gravity, you are now ready to hear about black holes. As I said before, mass causes a "dent" in the fabric of space-time. This can be illustrated by this picture:

Any mass in the universe has this effect on the fabric of space-time. The greater the mass, the steeper the slant of the "walls". A black hole, though, is differant. It creates an infinite "tunnel" through space. There is no "bottom" to the "pit". Look at this pic:
As you can see, there is no bottom. As you can probably imagine, this creates a problem in physics. The straightest path through space in a black hole goes into nowhere. With normal object, the path either leads to a collision of the two objects, or an orbiting path. In a black hole, though, most paths lead into nothing. There is the small chance you can orbit, but where does everything else go? Please ask questions, because I have much more info that I can't quite figure out how to integrate. I will be posting more on this; I'm not done yet! ;-) There will be at least a part three!

Black Holes and Wormholes Part 1: Gravity

Finally, after many months of waiting and anticipation, I have completed my research and I am ready to give you the lowdown on all of this.

Black Holes are one of the most misunderstood things in our universe. Many people have no clue what to think when sombody says "black hole", and others picture a gigantic spacial tornado that sucks in everything in it's path. These, of course, are not true. That is why I am here! ;-) With my vast knowledge of astrophysics and Einstein's laws of special and general relativity, I can inform you of the way things really are. In order for me to explain Black Holes, though, you first need a correct understanding of gravity.

All of your life you have probably been told that gravity is a sucking force that causes things to be pulled toward the source of that gravity. This is not entirely true. Gravity, according to Einstein, is the result of mass warping space-time. Before I explain this, I have to make one key point: everything in the universe is trying to travel along the straightest line possible. Gravity, then is the effect of warping space-time. When space-time is bent, all straight lines are made to curve. This can be pictured by taking a sheet, streching it out, and putting a bowling ball in the middle. The bowling ball causes the sheet to sag in the middle, causing everything else that is on the sheet to roll towards the bowling ball. A planet has the same effect on space-time. The mass of the planet warps the space-time fabric, causing all of the Straight lines to become curves. That is what gravity comes from. I know this is very difficult to picture, and if you just can't figure it out, I may be able to find a picture somwhere to help. That's all for now, but the other parts are on the way...really...

Black Holes and Wormholes Research

Right now im working on researching my theories to makesure they are sound, so be ready soon for the full length post...

I Still Exist!!!

I am still alive, but I got thrown off after ACT. I'm back, and I'm getting ready for a new "discussion" on black holes and wormholes. I've been REALLY busy the last couple of days, and exepect to be for a while, so if I dont post for a while, That's why. L8ER!

Back to the plan

After all of those tangents, i'm going to be getting back to the real reason for this blog. I'm not sure what i'll talk about, but hey! I'll think of somthing. Later.

video HTML

Here is how to put that music video of "the fray- how to save a life" on ur blog. Go to youtube, find your video, and copy all of the text out of the small box that says "embed", go to customize, add page element on the bottom, then choose html/javascript. paste the code in the main box, and save changes. ur vid should be there on the bottom of the page. Enjoy!

WMV bar

Check out my new vid bar beneath my profile. I'll change the vid to somthing more sciency soon.... oh and mos, the vid bar won't work on firefox, so you'll have to use internet explorer if you want them to work. Excuse my html here....





IT WORKS!!!!
