What is a black hole ? 
“A black hole is a region of space that is so 
incredibly dense that not even light can 
escape from it.” 
“Black hole is a great amount of 
matter packed into a very small area.”

Do not let the name fool you 
Black hole is nothing but Empty Space.
Continue… 
• Black holes don't have any greater gravitational force 
than any other star of the same mass but it has higher 
density. 
• Mass is so great in such a small volume that the velocity 
needed to escape is greater than the speed light travels. 
• Though they are black they are invisible to us. 
• Not tangible also.
EVENT HORIZON and SCHWARZSCHILD RADIUS 
• Sensational Fact: If our sun suddenly became a black hole of 
the same mass the rest of the objects, including Earth, would be 
unaffected gravitationally. The Earth would remain in its current 
orbit, as would the rest of the planets.
Sun is in its 
original form 
Sun convert into Black Hole 
• No any effect to Earth 
and any other planets. 
• Of course other things 
would be affected, such 
as the amount of light 
and heat that Earth 
received.
Continue… 
• The boundary of the region of black hole from which no escape is 
possible is called the EVENT HORIZON. 
• The center of the black hole is a point of infinite density and zero 
volume, called a SINGULARITY. 
• Event Horizon radius is known as Schwarzschild Radius. 
• Objects start to travel at the speed of light after they reach the 
INNER EVENT HORISON. 
• For the simplest case (a non-rotating, charge neutral black hole). 
The event horizon radius would be defined as 
Rs = 2GM/c2 
G=Gravitational Force ; M=Mass ; c=Velocity of light.
Black Holes  [Krunal Saija]
HISTORY OF BLACK HOLE 
• In the 1783, John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace first 
mentioned about the objects with a huge gravitation, from which 
even light cannot escape. 
• In 1915, Albert Einstein developed the theory of GENERAL 
RELATIVITY. Which says that Gravity influence light motion. 
• Karl Schwarzschild did find black holes as a solution to 
Einstein’s equations by using Newton’s theory. (1916) 
• Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder predict that 
massive stars can collapse into black holes (1939)
LIFE CYCLE OF STARS 
• In the normal life of a star there is a constant tug of war between 
gravity pulling in and pressure pushing out. 
• Thermo Nuclear reactions in the core of the star produce enough 
energy and pressure to push outward. 
• Gravity and pressure balance each other exactly, and so the star 
is stable. 
• However, when a star runs out of nuclear fuel, gravity gets the 
upper hand and the material in the core is compressed even 
further. The core matter is forced into an extremely dense state 
and concentrate in very small volume.
Black Holes  [Krunal Saija]
DO ALL STARS BECOME BLACK HOLES? 
It all depends on 
the amount of 
mass stars 
contain 
Mass < 1 sun 
Mass ≈ 3 suns 
Mass > 8 suns 
Becomes 
a Nebula Becomes 
a Neutron star 
Becomes 
a Black Hole
FORMATION OF BLACK HOLE 
One Star's End is a Black Hole's Beginning 
• The most common way for a black hole to form is probably 
in a supernova, an exploding star. 
• Astronomers suspect that most black holes are produced when 
massive stars (at least 8-10 times the Sun's mass) reach the end 
of their lifecycle. 
• Start that has 8 to 20 times the mass of our Sun converted in to 
Stellar Mass Black Hole. 
• Start that has million times the mass of our Sun converted in to 
Supermassive Black Hole.
Mid Mass Supermassive Stellar mass
Growth of Black Hole 
• Once a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by 
absorbing additional matter. Any black hole will continually 
absorb gas and interstellar dust from its direct surroundings 
and omit present cosmic background radiation. 
• Another possibility is for a black hole to merge with other 
objects such as stars or even other black holes
Size of black holes 
• Black holes are available in variety of size. 
• Smallest Black hole’s size is equal to atom size of Helium. 
But it contains thousand times more mass than sun. 
• A typical 10-solar-mass black hole would have a radius of 
30 kilometers.

on the basis of CHARGE and motion : 
FOUR types of black holes 
• Schwarzchild black holes : 
Don’t rotate and have NO charge. 
• Reissner – Nordstrom black holes : 
Don’t rotate but have charge. 
• Kerr black holes : 
Rotate but have NO charge. 
• Kerr - Newman black holes : 
Rotate and have charge.
How do we find BH in Space ? 
• Nobody has literally seen a black hole yet, but there are some 
methods and instruments with which astronomers detect and 
study BH. 
• Actually we cannot find exact location of BH. 
Methods: 
• Predict using various equations like space-time gravity (given by 
Einstein in GTR) and Schrodinger’s equation. 
• Binary X-ray sources are placed to find strong black hole . 
• Continuous fluctuation and Sudden change in gravity.
Some important terms 
• Physical Information : In Physics, Physical Information refers 
generally to the information that is contained in a physical 
system in wave form. That is, all of its properties, all that makes 
it distinct from other things. It is a complete description of the 
thing, but in a sense that is divorced from any particular 
language. 
Example: Mass, KE, PE, Momentum etc… 
• General Theory of Relativity [ GR ] 
• Quantum Theory of Physics [ QT ]
Open questions on bh (GR v/s qt) 
• In 1974, using Quantum Theory of Physics, Stephen 
Hawking told that BH produces Radiation named as 
Hawking Radiation. He is the first who had started 
analyzing BH using QT and gave some controversy. 
• Theory of GR strictly says that, any matter (even light) 
cannot escape from BH BUT in 2004, Hawking told that 
Physical Information can run off from BH, with this some 
energy also release from it which make Firewall above 
Event Horizon which is known as INFORMATION 
PARDOX.
Continue… 
• This fact is totally opposite to General Theory of Relativity. 
According to Theory of relativity there is no any other 
things or information above Event Horizon. 
• Researchers follow QT believe that we are able to get 
some information which is available on Information Pardox 
and get knowledge about BH. 
• In Modern approach of Physics, both of theories are used 
to solved this type of labyrinthine problems.
