A black hole is a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong that not even light the
fastest known entity in our Universe can escape. In the first image released by the event horizon collaboration on
April 10th, 2019. It showed a plasma orbiting in a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87
(Messier 87), the plasma of M87 in the image shows that it’s coming towards us since its getting brighter in our
perspective. Radio waves where being used in order to get the image since it can pass through the accretion desk
and inter-stellar dust to reach our telescope.
One’s star end is a black holes beginning. It is because as stars collapses a strange thing happens,
in their core nuclear fusion crashes hydrogen atom into helium releasing a tremendous amount of energy. This
energy in the form of radiation pushes against gravity and maintain balance between the two forces (Radiation
and Gravity). As long as this two forces are balanced nothing will happen with the starts but once it gets broken
it collapses feeding more mass into the core then a star dies in a supernova explosion. This produces neutron star
but if the star is massive enough it can create a black hole.

The picture below shows the parts of a black hole.

There are four types of black holes the stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature but the
most common black holes are the stellar and supermassive.
STELL is a black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a star. They have masses ranging from
about 5 to several tens of solar masses. The process is observed as a hypernova explosion or
as a gamma ray burst. These black holes are also referred to as collapsars.

Intermediate is estimated to have a mass between 100 and 1000 solar masses. No single star could ever
form such a heavy black hole. The only way astronomers think such black holes could form
is for a single black hole to devour lots and lots of material to get up to the required heft, or
for individual black holes to merge together.

SUPERMAS is the largest type of black hole, with mass on the order of millions to billions of times the
mass of the Sun. Black holes are a class of astronomical objects that have undergone
gravitational collapse, leaving behind spheroidal regions of space from which nothing can
escape, not even light.

A black hole has a beginning therefore it has its own end also or death. Once a black don’t have
any food to consume or matter/ mass in space that it takes in, it will eventually radiate the whole thing
away and then die. Although it would take huge amount time to make that happen, there hasn’t been
enough time in the universe for it to happen.

What happens inside a black hole is still a mystery it’s because anything that comes close to it
gets sucked, not even a probe can help us on what really is the activity inside of it since when it gets
sucked the probe can no longer give out signals from the outside world. It will always be a mystery that
we all have to wonder.

Of relativity
The theory of general relativity of Einstein as I watched the video I understood that the theory of relativity
is a major building block of modern physics. It explains gravity based on the way space can 'curve', or, to put it
more accurately, it associates the force of gravity with the changing geometry of space-time. It explains on why the
best short path is curved and not straight.

The theory of special relativity was proposed by Einstein in 1905. It is called special relativity since it can
only be applied to some situations where the different frames of reference aren’t accelerating. The special relativity
tells us that the speed of light is always constant whether you’re moving or in space it is always going to be the
same which means time and distance will have to change. When time change it is called time dilation and when
distance changes it is called length contraction. Therefore special relativity tells us that light travels in constant
speed and so time dilates and length contracts to compensate.

The speed of light will always be constant it means that whenever we see things moving from our
perspective it’s not the speed of light that adjusts it’s time and distance and that the shortest path is not a straight
line but curved.
