A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Formed from the remnants of massive stars that have collapsed under their own gravity, black holes challenge our understanding of physics, particularly in the realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Gravitational pull is the attractive force exerted by a massive object on another object due to their masses and the distance between them, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This force is responsible for the orbits of planets, the tides on Earth, and the structure of the universe on a large scale.

understanding of physics

General relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein, is a theory of gravitation that describes gravity as the warping of spacetime by mass and energy, rather than as a force acting at a distance. It fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe, predicting phenomena such as the bending of light around massive objects and the existence of black holes.

general relativity

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the physical properties of nature at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It introduces concepts like wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement, which challenge classical intuitions about the behavior of matter and energy.
