1. What are black holes? Black holes are places where gravity has become so strong that it overwhelms all other forces. Once something enters a black hole‚ nothing can escape its gravity‚ not even light. 2. How do scientists look for black holes in space? Describe what a black hole looks like using one of the different ways of seeing the sky? Scientists look for black holes in space using telescopes that pick up x-ray‚ visible light‚ and radio waves. Using an x-ray telescope‚ a black hole can be

A.G.: Can you believe that everything in the universe‚ all of the stars‚ the galaxies‚ and even our world‚ was once the size of this‚ a mere marble? All that we are comprised of was compacted into this tiny space. And then it expanded into a trillion times its size in less than a trillionth of a second. All of the things we see and hear about and what you have just heard or will hear about‚ are all a product of what happened‚ trillions of years ago. Hosted by Morgan Freeman‚ Through the Wormhole

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)‚ the Universe was formed somewhere between 15-18 billion years ago in a single violent event known as the Big Bang. They later confirmed that the Universe continues to expand as a result of that supernatural event. Backed by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity‚ along with Hubble’s discovery of an ever expanding universe‚ this particular theory is accepted by the majority of the scientific community. This theory made a huge

ID: 0807 10/29/2014 Differences in the Possibility of Past and Future Time Travel The possibility of time traveling to the past or future has been extensively explored by physicists and philosophers ever since Einstein first published his theory of relativity in 1905 (Davies 5). Many theories and explanations addressing the senses in which they are physically and metaphysically possible have been developed over the past century in an effort to someday turn theory into reality.

String Theory Essay Man has always had many questions regarding his surroundings. We are always curious to answer many unknowns and many will remain unanswered‚ but what if there was a theory that would allow us to explain at least all of nature’s forces within a single all encompassing coherent framework. What does this exactly mean? Well‚ explaining the universe in the most intricate and basic detail so one can stand in awe of its beauty and elegance. There is an idea floating around these days

Big Bang From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia "Big Bang theory" redirects here. For the American TV sitcom‚ see The Big Bang Theory. For other uses‚ see Big Bang (disambiguation). According to the Big Bang model‚ theUniverse expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. A common analogy explains that space itself is expanding‚ carrying galaxies with it‚ like spots on an inflating balloon. The graphic scheme above is an artist ’s concept illustrating the expansion

Stephen Hawking Stephen William Hawking‚ (born 8 January 1942) is a British theoretical physicist‚ cosmologist‚ and author. Among his significant scientific works have been a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularities theorems in the framework of general relativity‚ and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation‚ often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set forth a cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum

April 2005 Physics Honors Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking was born on January 8‚ 1942. He is the first child of Frank and Isabel Hawking. During the second World War‚ Isabel was sent from her husband’s home in Highgate‚ to Oxford. This was considered a much safer place to have children during the war. Soon after his birth‚ his family moved back in together in their north London home. Hawking began his schooling here at Hertfordshire School. Hawking moved only once during his
