What are black holes? And how are they formed? Black holes are probably the most fascinating (theoretical) objects in astronomy. Such objects, which scientists believe must exist, would account for the spin-rate of our...read more

A black hole is defined by the escape velocity that would have to be attained to escape from the gravitational pull exerted upon an object. For example, the escape velocity of earth is equal to 11 km/s. Anything that wants...read more

Black Holes ala Motion in a Matrix The Motion in a Matrix model* for the universe has a very simple explanation for "Black Holes." In the model, mass and energy can be considered as two manifestations of the de...read more
