Introduction Black holes represent one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe. These celestial entities captivate the imagination of scientists and enthusiasts alike, primarily due to their extraordinary properties and the profound implications they hold for our understanding of physics, cosmology, and the very fabric of space-time. This blog aims to demystify black holes by delving into their formation, characteristics, and the significant role they play in the cosmic landscape. Formation of Black Holes Black holes are born from the remnants of massive stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. When a star significantly larger than our Sun reaches the end of its life cycle, it undergoes a catastrophic explosion known as a supernova. This explosion ejects the outer layers of the star into space, while the core collapses under its own gravity. If the remaining core has a mass greater than about three times that of the Sun, no known force can stop the c...
