The Universe in a nutshell

5 – Comments
- The properties of black holes that have been discussed thus far don’t raise any great problems with determinism.
- Time will come to an end for an astronaut who falls into a black hole and hit the singularity, but one is free to measure time at different rates in different places.
- On the time- and- distance, the surface of constant values of this new time would be all crowded together at the center, below the point where the singularity appeared.
- The difficulty with determinism arose when Einstein discover that black holes aren’t completely black.
- If a black hole is present, one member of a pair of particles may fall into the black hole, leaving the other member free to escape to infinity.
4 – Question
- How could a black hole pull things/ matter in the hole?
- Why scientist calls the hole, black whole if is not the color black?
- How small is the inside of a black hole?
- How does the black hole affect space and time continuum?
3 – Vocabulary
- Quantum gravity = a theory that merge quantum mechanics with general relativity.
- Neutrino = a changeless species of particle subject only to the weak force.
- Mass = the quantity of matter in a body, its inertia or resistance to acceleration in free space.
2 – Literary terms
- The speed of light is like somebody having the ability to freeze time.
- The black hole is like a vacuumed, that suck everything in
1 – Overview
- This part of the story is about the speed of light and how interesting is the black hole.
