Which is more massive the sun or a black hole?

Peppered throughout the Universe, these “stellar mass” black holes are generally 10 to 24 times as massive as the Sun.

Can a black hole run out of space?

Eventually, as the universe ages, the material around a black hole will run out and its doomsday clock will start ticking. As a black hole evaporates, it slowly shrinks and, as it loses mass, the rate of particles escaping also increases until all the remaining energy escapes at once.

Do black holes bend space time infinitely?

According to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, any massive object actually distorts the space-time around it, including our Sun, Earth, or even us. A black hole is an extreme case in the sense that at its singularity the curvature of space-time becomes infinite, preventing even light to escape.

Can a human be turned into a black hole?

Scientists say humans could indeed enter a black hole to study it. Of course, the human in question couldn’t report their findings—or ever come back. The reason is that supermassive black holes are much more hospitable.

How can a human become a black hole?

To make a black hole, one must concentrate mass or energy sufficiently that the escape velocity from the region in which it is concentrated exceeds the speed of light. Some extensions of present physics posit the existence of extra dimensions of space.

Can Sun become a black hole?

Will the Sun become a black hole? No, it’s too small for that! The Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole. In some 6 billion years it will end up as a white dwarf — a small, dense remnant of a star that glows from leftover heat.

What would happen if there was no matter in space?

A mass that accelerates through a changing gravitational field will radiate energy away, and that radiated energy is a rippling through the fabric of space known as gravitational waves. Without matter or energy there any longer, there’s nothing to maintain the curvature to space.

What is the relationship between space and matter?

Matter tells space how to curve, and curved space tells matter how to move. That’s the basic principle behind Einstein’s General Relativity, which linked, for the first time, the phenomenon of gravity with that of spacetime and relativity.

How do black holes and neutron stars interact with each other?

Now take two very high mass objects, neutron stars and black holes. Find 2 of them, in any combination, close to each other and they will be orbiting each other at near relativistic speeds. These generate high levels of frame dragging that interact with each other to generate gravity waves.

What happened to space-time after the Earth was created?

As the earth leaves a place in space, space returns to the shape it was before the earth was present, so it seems that space-time was ‘compressed’ and then returned to it’s original shape. I find it interesting that space can be expanded, inflated or curved but not compressed.
