According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, time slows down as matter approaches the Event Horizon, stopping altogether at the boundary. breaking down
Hawking Radiation:
According to Stephen Hawking who was a theoretical physicist Event Horizon emits radiation due to quantum effects near the boundaries which is called Hawking Radiation. This means black holes eventually lose their mass and evaporate completely.
Singularity:
It's the centre of black hole where all the masses which are passed in it are accumulated. It is a point of infinite density and zero volume.
3/ 🧵 The intermediate black holes usually fill the gap between stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes. They are not yet confirmed black holes. They are expected to have mass significantly higher than stellar mass black holes but lower than millions to billions of solar masses found in supermassive black holes. Its presence is evident by the velocities of gas clouds and the spectra of accretion disk around these objects. A theory suggests that they are formed as a result of the merging of multiple stellar-mass black holes. Another theory suggests they are formed in the heart of dense star clusters where collision and merging of smaller black holes occurs.
4/ 🧵 As the name suggests they are super massive black holes which have masses of millions to billions of times greater than the sun's mass. They are still shrouded in mystery, challenging our understanding of physics. Mostly they are found at the centre of galaxies. A super massive black hole named Sagittarius A is present in our own milky way. The reason for this type of black hole formation is still not clear till date. Although they play an important role in the dynamics of their host galaxies.
