Black hole theory discovered by


        The idea was first announced by John Michell in 1783. The center of the Milky Way, where stars and galaxies are born and evolve is known as a black hole. These compact objects have nothing to do with light, matter, or gravity; all they can do is suck up energy and create a vacuum called spacetime. Astronomers have long theorized that these massive (upwards of 100 billion times the mass of our Sun) bodies could be responsible for certain types of cosmic phenomena. For example, how their gravitational pull bends the fabric of space-time could alter the motion of nearby atoms or even planets around them, and thus affect Earth's orbit around the Galaxy. 

                               

        What exactly could such hypothetical supermassive bodies be? How would they hold themselves together? This question has become part of several popular theories of physics, including one called "the dilutive collapse model," which suggests an explanation based on Einstein's general relativity and a specific equation to describe how two different particles that interact gravitationally should behave. The other "physics" solution is the famous Hawking field, which posits that the surrounding "black" substance acts like a thin sheet of graphene stretched across the entire Universe and wrapped around the Hubble Space Telescope. It does so by generating a magnetic force that protects the surface from radiation, but it also means that electrons still exist and can be used as an important source of information about the stellar activity. In recent years, however, both the dilutive collapse model and the Hawking field have been challenged by more rigorous observations, leading many scientists to reassess their theories. 


        

        One area of research that is gaining attention is studying dark matter, especially dark baryons — the invisible particles that makeup approximately 85 percent of the total mass in the universe. As these mysteries continue to be solved and new evidence continues to emerge, there appears to be little doubt that some form of interaction between extremely dense matter and gravity does play a role in our universe, and possibly elsewhere in the cosmos. Dark matter may be present everywhere in the Universe in addition to galaxies and stars, perhaps acting in much the same way that particles do everywhere else. But if we cannot find dark matter, then dark baryons would need to provide this missing piece of data. Here we offer a simple interpretation of dark matter called a "black hole theory." Because dark matter interacts with gravity in ways unlike any known form of matter, it stands to reason that some kind of relationship between that reality and the observable universe could be formed. To explore this idea, we need to get comfortable with the theoretical concept of black holes. We know that most things can't exist without being part of something larger, so, at its core, the word "black" has a rather ominous connotation behind it. However, the true meaning of the term is quite easy to understand. A black hole is a region of space that gets too densely packed to contain anything but itself. This definition makes us wonder whether if a black hole had existed, we would not be able to see it anymore. Perhaps, because its existence destroys ordinary space (which itself may vanish due to interactions with other forms of matter), it would eventually be no longer detectable.
        Black holes only last so long before collapsing under their weight, leaving behind nothing. The answer to that question is straightforward: Our current understanding of what matters in the Universe is incomplete and inadequate, and perhaps we shouldn't take any comfort in knowing that it has a black hole at its heart. And yet, we seem perfectly happy to accept that a big chunk of our cosmic material exists. Despite this fact, the question remains whether or not we can learn anything from this existence beyond simply observing our surroundings. Unfortunately, we still do not fully understand everything that surrounds us: What does matter, life, and dark matter all look like? If we can figure out what they are, then maybe we will have a better chance of figuring out why they are in the first place. While it may be true that we don't know everything about our environment, we do appear to know much more than we thought possible. By looking at the vastness of the universe, we have uncovered some incredible complexity within it. 
        Indeed, it is difficult to overstate how fascinating science can be when you consider its greatest gifts: Everything seems possible when you just keep asking questions, and, as time goes by and knowledge builds upon itself, the potential becomes clearer and clearer. Of course, for all of its beauty, science isn't perfect, but it is certainly improving rapidly, and hopefully one day it will answer the mystery of the impossible.
