Black holes not only eat stars, but also "pull" out matter

Part of the residue was flung into the solar system

Because of the influence of dark matter and energy, the universe has gone from expansion to acceleration, eventually becoming a space so vast now, filled with endless supernatural matter, that it has amazed the world's most distinguished astronomers. However, within the infinite universe lies a creeping mystery.

Einstein's theory of relativity predicts that a special object called a "black hole," with a mass that is the sum of billions of suns, will most likely appear in the middle of the Milky Way, but of course, this is no longer a secret. Although scientists have not fully understood the formation process of black holes those incredibly large materials do exist in the center of the galaxy, even the smallest galaxies, will swallow the galaxy's gas, dust, and stars, and will become even heavier than the small galaxies.

The latest images captured through NASA's James Webb Space Telescope can help us understand the history of black holes. A study from Dartmouth has discovered a rapidly developing super-massive black hole, the core of an active galaxy. These super black holes radiate a variety of different colors, and they also have different brightness and spectral properties. Astronomers discovered in the late 1980s that spatial light signatures, ranging from wireless to x-rays, are most likely caused by active galactic nuclei.

It is generally believed that these objects are surrounded by a ring of gas and dust. It is believed that the different brightness and hues associated with these objects are due to the angle at which they are located. However, a recent study challenges Dartmouth's theory: the amount of dust and gas surrounding a super black hole is directly related to its rate of growth. As a black hole rapidly engulfs, its energy blows away dust and gas, so it becomes less invisible and appears brighter. This finding provides us with the strongest evidence that they are fundamentally different from each other, meaning that supermassive black holes possess different optical signatures.

Black Hole

Of course, this variation cannot be explained simply from the interior of Sagittarius or in the vicinity of the core of a moving star. Although this finding confirms that the configuration of Sagittarius around the black hole is not perfectly uniform, this configuration is linked to its growth process. Scientists have now discovered that black holes that are well hidden are quite different from active galactic cores that are not hidden.

One of the most important questions currently plaguing scientists is how super-massive black holes are created. Theoretically, these supermassive black holes could create a new world. We all understand this, especially since we cannot be sure that there are other universes. A very simple explanation is that the world we live in now if you change any of them, even the smallest, will not exist. In the center of every black hole, there is a singularity that defies the basic laws of physics, and it is theoretically possible to change this state and thus create a new, slightly altered world. Yes, this is evolving, from something that swallows planets and stars to something that makes a new universe.

Stephen Hawking noticed this result in 1974, a phenomenon called Hawking rays, and to figure out the whole principle behind it, we must know two things: one is a black hole, a field of view. Any object passing through this line of vision, as soon as it gets close to the center of the black hole, is sucked into it and never returns to its original position. In the darkest parts of the universe, these black holes are created automatically, for no apparent reason, and they immediately annihilate each other and disappear completely, without a trace. It looks as if energy has been extracted from a vacuum and released in the process of destruction.

Strange to say, things look as if you are somewhere outside the black hole horizon, and suddenly a particle and antimatter appear out of thin air, only to be drawn into the horizon of the black hole as they perish from each other, one never to return, while the other is inevitably drawn in and escapes. At that time, the energy from the universe will not come back. Such a loss of energy is to be compensated by reducing the mass of the black hole. The amount of reduction is just equal to the mass of those lucky particles so that everything in the entire universe is guaranteed to be in a state of absolute equilibrium.

At any distance from the black hole, we can see a faint, continuous, decreasing stream of lucky particles. The so-called Hawking rays are named by Stephen Hawking. One would find a large number of black holes as large as stars because there is enough food for these to expand quickly before they evaporate, but if they are small, they evaporate quickly.

But scientists have discovered a troubling problem. Researchers have found that black holes not only swallow stars but also lose some of their energy. These objects feed on objects that are too close to the orbit, as scientists have observed with an unlucky planet that has been continuously swallowed up in the last decade. But scientists also found that part of this planet ran away to the solar system, how did they escape from the hands of the black hole?

The answer to this question is simple: they are made of matter that slips off the accretion disk and condenses into chunks before passing through the black hole. In the Sagittarius galaxy, it swallows up so much matter that it can enter our solar system in a flash at 20 million kilometers per hour. Fortunately, there is no danger of a collision with any known black hole on Earth and we will not be swallowed, but that does not mean we will not be disturbed by the huge black holes, especially those that sometimes spew out planet-sized spouts, which may fly towards our beloved planet.
