“GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE is a fascinating phenomenon, responsible for producing remnants of massive stars known as compact objects. Compact objects are categorized as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs depending upon the mass of the stellar object. The final consequence of gravitational collapse entirely depends upon the original mass of the celestial body.” https://lnkd.in/dBkPtJE View in LinkedIn

SIZE MATTERS. “Stars having a mass of less than eight solar masses (M⊙) create white dwarfs, whereas stars of greater mass transform into neutron stars or black holes as a result of the collapse. The existence of white dwarfs as well as neutron stars can be detected in our universe, but the presence of black holes is affirmed only through some hypothetical observations.” https://lnkd.in/dBkPtJE View in LinkedIn

IMPACT WAVES. “Compact relativistic objects are extremely dense as well as relatively small, and pairs can combine together to generate gravitational waves. Hawking determined an upper limit for the gravitational radioactive energy ejected as a result of collision between black holes. Wagoner examined the energy produced by the rotation of neutron stars.” https://lnkd.in/dBkPtJE View in LinkedIn

TRASH CANS FULL OF GALAXIES: “These giant bubbles were moving away from the supermassive black holes at the galactic centers.That heat map showed a clear pattern of turbulence. Even the smallest eddies here are on an unimaginable scale, large enough to easily swallow our solar system. After all, they're taking place in what amount to dense "trash cans full of galaxies." https://lnkd.in/d_aQyg7 View in LinkedIn

CURIOUS LINK. “Bird et al. and Sasaki et al. have recently proposed the intriguing possibility that the black holes detected by LIGO could be all or part of the cosmological dark matter.“ https://lnkd.in/dTxqzGc View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM CHEMISTRY OBSERVED. “The experimental results are simply stunning. They have achieved a resolution that 20 years ago would have been deemed as unattainable.” https://lnkd.in/dXVEHDB View in LinkedIn
