Physics
This continuum gets distorted by the gravity of black holes.
What is spacetime?
These theoretical objects could allow for instantaneous time travel within without any time dilation.
What is a wormhole?
Sagittarius A*, which lies at the center of the Milky Way, is thought to be one of these.
What is a supermassive black hole?
This ‘point of no return’ is actually a sphere whose distance from the center of a black hole is referred to as its Swarzchild radius.
What is an event horizon?
This object could eject matter from a black hole in a parallel universe where time runs backwards.
This scientist denied the existence of black holes even though his work predicted their existence.
Who is Albert Einstein?
This ‘part’ of a black hole heats up to millions of degrees, emitting x-ray radiation that can be detected on earth.
What is an accretion disk?
This branch of physics could (tenuously) explain the existence of naturally occurring wormholes.
What is string theory?
The ratio of the mass of an object to its mass after it collapses into a black hole.
What is 1?
This scientific theory predicted that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
What is general relativity?
DAILY DOUBLE
What is a bomb?
This unappetizing process would happen to you if you fell into a black hole.
What is spagettification?
This phenomenon, named after the scientist who proposed it, might cause the eventual death of black holes.
What is Hawking radiation?
This property of black holes could one day be used as a source of energy?
What is rotation/spinning?
The object formed by the collapse of a star too small to form a stellar black hole.
What is a neutron star?
