Black Holes
Within our galaxy alone, there are millions upon millions of stars. Within our universe, there are millions upon millions of galaxies. Humans have known the existance of stars since they have had eyes. Although interpretations may have differed on what they were, they were always thought of as white glowing specks in the sky, but the mystery does not lie within what we can see, but what we can not see. There are billions of stars lighting the darkness of our universe, but the question lies in what happens when one of these enormous lamps burns out. Upon many speculations, one of the most facinating is the black hole theory. Not any star can become a Black Hole. For instance, the possibility of our sun becoming a black hole is highly unlikely, simply because it is too small. Only a very large star has the potential to become a black hole.The definitions of black boles are somewhat sceptical. Generally, a black hole is an area of super-concentrated mass. So concentrated, that no object can escape its gravitational pull. In other words, once you get caught by it's graviational pull, you aren't getting out again. The velocity you need to break away from a graviational pull is called the "escape velocity". Roughly, earth'
Evidence that black holes are real does exist. Even though you cannot see a black hole, as light cannot escape it, you can measure how much mass there is in an area. And if you have a large quantity of mass in a small area, there is a good chance it is a black hole. Hollywood has a big effect on the way we view astronomy, and one of the more recent anomalies taken over by Hollywood is the possibility of the "wormhole". Before you can understand what a wormhole is, you must understand what a "white hole" is. The opposite of the mathematical equation for the black hole has been proven valid. The name for this opposite of a black hole is in fact, a white hole. A white hole is the exact opposite of a black hole. As black hole sucks stuff in, a white hole spits stuff out. Although the mathematical equation is sound, the possibility of it's existence in space is thin. Since a white hole is a time reversal of a black hole, creating one is impossible (as destroying a black hole is impossible). But because the universe's possibilities are endless, we cannot discard the possibility of the white hole. Now, the wormhole is thought to be a "link" between a white hole and a black hole, as the black hole sucks stuff in, the white hole spits it right out. Because space and time are not relevant in a black hole, the link up can go across different regions of space-time, or even different galaxies or universes. If a wormhole did in fact exist, it is thought that its stability would be very limited, as even the slightest perturbation of
