Sentences with phrase «extreme gravity of a black hole»

A new NASA computer simulation shows that dark matter particles colliding in the extreme gravity of a black hole can produce strong, potentially observable gamma - ray light.

Not exact matches

Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, so only the most extreme events — black holes colliding, neutron stars twirling, a supernova erupting — would produce detectable waves.

The gap between Einstein and Newton increases as gravity gets stronger and the curvature of space more extreme — black holes being the most extreme case of all.

General relativity has never been tested in places where the effects of gravity become truly extreme — for example, at the edge of a black hole.

This behavior aligns with Albert Einstein's predictions about extreme gravity near rotating black holes, published in his famous theory of general relativity.

A century later, that insight underpins cutting - edge physics: searching for gravitational waves, probing the extreme gravity near the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, tracing the origin of the universe.

The gap between Einstein and Newton increases as gravity gets strongerand the curvature of space more extreme — black holes being the mostextreme case of all.

But once this is achieved, EHT astronomers expect to be able to resolve an image of Sagittarius A *'s shadow and see small - scale structures surrounding the black hole, confirming some of the most extreme theories for physics in this strong gravity environment and, perhaps, revealing some surprises along the way.

If the observations are confirmed, then it shows that Einstein's theory of general relativity holds even under extreme conditions — in gravity fields produced by objects like the galactic center's black hole, which contains the mass of 4 million suns.
