What happens on the other side of a black hole?

The discovery of light from the other side of a black hole was predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The research began with a slightly different aim of a more common light formed by a black hole: the corona which wraps around the outside of it, formed as material falls in.

Can a black hole eat a quasar?

When black holes are feasting on stars, they turn into quasars that glow brighter than anything in the universe. Now scientists have discovered CQ 4479, a galaxy birthing so many stars, so fast, that the supermassive black hole at its center can’t engulf the energy from them fast enough.

Will our galaxy ever be destroyed by the supermassive black hole in its center?

In the short term, no. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is 26,000 light-years away. Even if it turned into a quasar and started eating stars, you wouldn’t even be able to notice it from this distance. If a star gets close, without hitting, it’ll get torn apart, but still, it doesn’t happen very often.

Could the Milky Way become a quasar?

The only way that a quasar could form in the Milky Way would be when the Andromeda Galaxy collides with our own Milky Way galaxy approximately 4 billion years from now, and if by chance the supermassive black hole at the centre of Andromeda passes through a large cloud of gas and dust.

Can quasars destroy the earth?

The illumination from a quasar, along with all the radiation it throws off, would mess with Earth’s atmosphere. The light is enough to energize particles that make up the atmosphere and frees them from Earth’s gravity. And we really need our gravity. Without it, Our atmosphere would be destroyed.

Does the Andromeda Galaxy have a quasar?

Quasars are ignited by monster black holes voraciously feeding on infalling matter, unleashing a torrent of radiation. The Milky Way and Andromeda have such black holes at their hearts, which are now sleeping giants. As the two galaxies in each quasar pair, move closer together, so do their quasars.

How do scientists think supermassive black holes form?

Scientists think supermassive black holes form as a fundamental part of galactic evolution. These black holes start small, when a galaxy is still young and regularly gobbling up groups of neighboring stars.

What happens inside the event horizon of a black hole?

Inside the event horizon is where physics goes crazy. Calculations suggest that what the fabric of spacetime looks like inside a black hole depends on that particular black hole’s history. It might be turbulent, twisted, or any other number of things. One thing’s for sure, though: the tidal forces would kill you (see below).

How is a black hole like a valley?

Think of the black hole like a hole at the bottom of a steeply sloping valley: the steep ground outside the hole is the space just outside the event horizon. It’s still steep enough that light has to struggle to climb up, but it’s outside the hole itself.

Are there any singularities in a black hole?

It could be that, in real black holes, singularities don’t even exist. Wormholes are theoretically possible, given the right conditions. But those conditions almost certainly would never exist in the real universe. What would happen if you fell into a black hole?
