Detection of Black Holes

I think that we cannot atribute the discoveries of Black Holes to a one or few
scientist. Whi
This story describes how scientists have studied and story illustrates, much
time usually passes before detected black holes throughout the last century
Black holes still appear to follow the laws of physics. And embodys the most
extreme physics in the community. The theories of relativity, like all good
Universe
Yet black holes repeatedly appeared in the interpret data derived from
research. How is this equations of General Relativity T
the speed of light is absolute, and space and time can be relative to one's
movement through them
The General Theory of Relativity did not come easy to Einstein. In 1908
Hermann Minkowski clarified Einstein's system He had included the
mathematical basis for that one thing which Einstein left out of at Special
Theory: gravity. Minkowski died shortly thereafter from complications with
appendicitis before he got to see his work fully accepted. Inspired by
Minkowski's mathematical spacetime, Einstein began working on his Theory
of Relativity, which discussed though you're moving towards her. You the
curvature of spacetime in the presence of gravity.
The most important feature of General Relativity as it relates to black holes
is the warping of spacetime in a gravitational field
In 1916 Karl Schwarzschild got his hands on a copy of Einstein's article
introducing General Relativity and wanted to mathematically describe the
curvature of spacetime around a very massive object. Schwarzschild
realized that each mass had a critical radius, now called the Schwarzschild
radius,
s in the early 1930s Subrahmanyan Chandrasekha calculated an upper limit
on the mass of white dwarfs, now cal led the Chandrasekhar Limit.
Detecting a black hole is in some ways easy and in other ways very hard.
Because astronomers can't point their telescopes and directly see a black
hole, they need to use indirect resources When the first cosmic X-ray
detectors went into operation in the late 1960s, they showed the Universe
awash in powerful X-ray radiation. The Uhuru satellite was sent into orbit in
1970 and immediately detected X-ray sources much stronger than our own
Sun, stunning astronomers.
Of particular interest was an apparent binary system in the constellation
Cygnus. There was a visible light companion a typical blue giant and a
bright X-ray source, Cygnus X-1. astronomers initially determined that their
X-ray source must be at least 4 solar masses, and more probably 16. This
can be done with Newtonian gravity.
In 1974, Stephen Hawking made a famous scientific wager on this system
with his colleague, Kip Thorne. Cygnus X-1 does not contain a black hole of
mass above the Chandrasekhar limit.
