Black Hole - Mystery

Black Hole - Mystery

Black Hole is I think the most popular mystry in Space Science. The word "black hole" certainly thrills most of us. What is black hole ? Black Hole is a huge mass certered in a very small volume and definitely with very very high density. Generally dead star is the source of the mass forming black hole. Some scientists say that if a star undegoes "Supernova" state and explodes, the scattered mass collapses all together and starts forming black hole. With the time these mass become so dense that it occupies almost zero volume and infinite density. This state is known as absolute "singularity". Thus the gravitational filed of this cluster becomes so strong that nothing can come out of it. Even the light cannot escape. As we cannot locate this with emmited or reflected light, it seems dark and we mention this as black hole.
