A supermassive black hole captured from a distant radar by astronauts
Wait a second!!!..!. ARE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES GOING TO GULP THE UNIVERSE LIKE A PIECE OF CAKE???...Letz find out.!!..
A milky way galaxy forming a black hole
In the middle of the "milky way galaxy" hung up in the skies lies a "supermassive black hole" which is 1,000 times as massive as the "black hole" itself...wow..w.!!..!.
And I just had to pause for a while to find out if this whole TRAMP!!..! is just a mere "science fiction" or if the activities of extraterrestrial planets may have triggered the occurrence of this "black holes".
Black holes develop at the center or the middle of galaxies.

According to new research by astronomers and scientists, the "supermassive black holes" are the largest type of black holes and they grow faster than the galaxies in which they emanate or develop from..
One will be curious to know what a SUPERMASSIVE BLACK or a BLACK HOLE is???..
Letz find out..
What is a Black hole??..
wow.. Check this out..t.!!; A demonstration of Black hole sensing
The name "black hole" was coined by in 1967 by an American astronomer John Wheeler although the term "black hole" was first predicted by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity. The first black hole was discovered in 1971.
A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such gravitational effects that nothing; I mean not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light; can escape from it.
A "black hole" is a place in space where gravity pulls are so much that even light can't escape from it. It a region in space having strong gravitational field effect that no mass or radiation can escape
Black holes are without questions, some of the most strangest and mysterious places in the the galaxy of the universe..
Since no light can escape, black holes are invisible. Thus, space scientists, make use of space telescopes and improvised special instruments to help detect regions of black holes on the earth's galaxy.
Some fascinating facts and features of Black holes
- Black holes are relatively massive;
"Stellar black holes" which is a medium-sized black hole can be up 20 times bigger than the size of the sun...
"supermassive black holes" have masses greater than one(1) million suns combined and would fit into a ball with a diameter about the size of the solar system.incredible..e.!!.aren't they??..
They are intensely dense that their centers are called "points at infinity".
They hideously deform space and time.
They are pitch-black because not even light can escape them. This is interesting that one will wonder what it would be like to visit a black hole.
Black holes are regions with strong gravitational effect. The strong gravity occurs because matter has been compresses into a tiny space.
Types of Black holes
The three types of black holes are;
- Stellar black holes (STBHs),
- Supermassive black holes (SPBHs) and
- Intermediate black holes (IMBHs)
How do Black holes form???..
It is believed that the first black holes are thought to have formed in the early universe, after the "Big bang".
Let us consider how each black holes formed
Stellar Black holes (STBHs)
The first on the list is the "stellar black holes"...
I call it "SMALL BUT DEADLY".
The formation of the stellar black hole for example is likened to a "fuel engine". The engine goes off, when its fuel get exhausted.
Stellar black holes forms when a larger star burns through the last of its fuel, when it collapse, or fall into itself. It then compresses and creates a "stellar black hole".
But in a scenario where smaller stars, up to about three times the sun's mass, the new core will be a neutron star or a white dwarf star.
A white dwarf star is a small, almost the size of the earth; it is one of the last stages of a star's life.
white dwarf stars hung up in the skies
STBHs form when the center of a very massive star collapse upon itself resulting into a "Supernova".
A "supernova" is an exploding star which increases it's brightness to typically a billion times that of our sun, though relatively small by the great distances from our sun. A supernova blasts part of its star into space.
Supermassive Black Holes (SPBHs)
The next on my list is the supermassive black holes...THE BAM...M!!..!
Supermassive black holes are billion times massive than that of the sun.
They are said to be the origin of giant and enormous black holes that dominate other black holes..
Scientists aren't certain on how such large black holes spawn but they think supermassive black holes formed at the same time as the galaxy they are in; for example the "milky way galaxy".
Supermassive black holes may be formed as a result of large clouds, collapsing together and rapidly accepting mass.
SPBHs could also be formed as a result of hundreds or thousands of tiny black holes that merge together. OR
Thirdly, I think they could also emerge due to the collapse of a "Stellar cluster"
A stellar cluster; is a group of stars all falling together
A brief explanation of the Black hole
"Intermediate Black holes" or IMBHs are in between the picture, they may be massive or relatively small and may form when stars in a cluster collide in a chain reaction.
SO WHAT THEN WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU FELL INTO A BLACK HOLE???..
If you fell into a black hole, scientific postulates such as the "Einstein theory of relativity" and "Newton's laws of gravity" has long suggested that the gravitational force that exist on the Black hole would stretch you like a spaghetti and your death will come before you reached the "point of singularity". This process is described as "Spaghettificattion".
Spaghettification process
Singularity discussed here is a term used to describe the inner region of a black hole, where its mass lies..
NOW THE QUESTION HERE AS I EARLIER ASKED IS COULD A SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE EAT UP OR DESTROY THE UNIVERSE???...
Here is the answer...Supermassive Black holes do not just wander around the universe like rolling balls
They obey the Newton's laws of gravity just like other objects in space.
The orbit of Black holes would have to be very close (minute distance) to the solar system to affect Earth, which is not likely to happen.
For instance, if a black hole with the same mass as the sun would were to replace the sun, Earth would not still fall into it..
The black hole with the same mass as the sun would keep the same gravity as the sun.
Therefore the planets would still orbit around the black hole just as they orbit around the sun now..

wow..ww!!..I would love to visit any of black holes someday...😁😁😁😁..don't worry I'm just kidding...But just imagine a trip to a black hole.. huh..h..!!..
En gracias...
Well researched post
Thank you sir
This is really a science course. Thanks for the research.
I'm glad you liked it
So the world will end sooner or later, I can only see science backing religion with facts... Thumbs up for this piece quite educating as well
Thank you sir
😬😬😬😬with the way this black hole is, I'm sure it's not a good thing.
@profsam, I'm really not the science type but will this black hole exist forever or it has a period of existence
With astronomical proofs, the sun does not have enough mass to collapse into a black hole.
I believe that in billions of years to come when the sun is at the end of its life, it will become a "red giant star".
Then, when it has used the last of its fuel, it will throw off its outer layers and turn into a glowing ring of gas called a "planetary nebula"
Finally, all that will be left of the sun is a cooling "white dwarf star".
A "red giant star" is a star that is larger than the sun and red because it has a lower temperature while the "the white giant star"was already explained in my article.
So, black holes develops periodically and grows bigger and bigger into supermassive black holes. It therefore entails that, it never stops existing..
Many things happen outside our Earth indeed. It's no wonder people still believe aliens exist.
Nice post, very educative @profsam
Thank you sir
Well written and researched article, keep it interesting bro
thanks sir
Please is black hole in any way related to wormholes?
This is well articulated. Black hole sounds like shithole country... Lol just kidding. You killed it bro
Thanks
Just amazed by the time and effort you put together in researching and composing this. Nice one bro
thank you sir
