Brief History of Black Holes!
All black holes MUST rotate. |
Rotating black hole |
In a strong gravitational field, space is highly non-Euclidian, and closed orbits are not possible (the force does not go like the inverse square of the distance). |
Relativistic jets are a feature of many exotic astronomical objects. Black holes themselves do not have magnetic poles or magnetic fields. So it remains somewhat of a mystery as to what provides the spinning magnetic fields that propel energetic and enormous polar jets out perpendicular to an accretion disk, as seen with some black holes at galactic centers, but not others. |
In 1979 Disney Studios released a live-action science fantasy movie called THE BLACK HOLE. At the end of the film (based loosely on Melville's MOBY DICK, with the Black Hole taking the role of Moby Dick) it was revealed that a black hole is a portal to hell itself!
