In the vast universe, there is such a mysterious black hole, which contains millions of times more mass than ordinary black holes, and some can even reach hundreds of millions of times.
This is a supermassive black hole, and it is also a supermassive black hole, what exactly is it, and how is it formed?
Super black holes
With the development of astronomical science, scientists have explored this supermassive black hole in the universe, and there is such a supermassive black hole in the galaxy where we are located.
The super-black hole in the Milky Way, about four times the size of the Sun, is the same as the black hole, and it is constantly devouring a large amount of matter around it, thus forming such a huge mass.
And in the center of the Andromeda Galaxy, scientists have also observed such a black hole, and the size of this super black hole, scientists estimate that it is about 100 million suns.
Such a huge super black hole has also been confirmed by scientists in their exploration, it exists in the center of a galaxy, surrounding a huge galactic nucleus, and it also has a huge attraction to the outside, and it is this gravitational attraction that attracts surrounding celestial bodies and galaxies.
While attracting celestial bodies, super black holes can also continuously devour the surrounding matter and energy, so it can be said that super black holes are a mysterious and fascinating celestial body in the universe.
The formation of super-black holes
There is still a great deal of debate about the formation of such super-black holes, but scientists have observed super-black holes and provided a theoretical overview of them.
Although this theory has not been fully confirmed, many scientists still theorize that this kind of super black hole is a space phenomenon that eventually leads to the appearance of this magical celestial body in the process of material growth and black hole merger.
Because black holes can swallow light in the universe, black holes have the property of not emitting light, which makes it difficult to see black holes, and when scientists discovered black holes, they distinguish the reasons for the appearance of black holes and characterize them as stellar black holes or small black holes.
Stellar black hole is a kind of black hole formed by the collapse of the core region of a massive star after the death, and scientists call it a stellar black hole, which is about dozens or hundreds of times the size of the sun.
This kind of black hole is also the most common in the universe, but when scientists discovered another kind of giant black hole, they discovered this kind of super black hole, located in the most central region of each galaxy, a supermassive black hole.
When the supermassive black hole in the universe was discovered, the scientific community generally believed that this kind of super black hole was generated when stellar black holes collided and fused with each other, because in the universe, in the central region of galaxies, there has never been a shortage of aging stars that can form black holes, and when these stars die, they will form stellar black holes.
After the creation of these stellar black holes, they will merge with each other under the gravitational pull of each other, and eventually form a larger super black hole, as long as the universe exists long enough, it will inevitably produce supermassive black holes with greater mass.
However, this theory has not been proven, and with subsequent astronomical developments, this theory has been disproved, and it is true that a new discovery will always overturn a previously unproven claim.
With the advent of the Webb telescope, it has discovered the existence of supermassive black holes tens of billions of light-years away in the exploration of the universe.
As early as the early days of the Big Bang tens of billions of years ago, such supermassive black holes had been formed, and at that time, the existence of stars was very few, which was simply not enough to support the fusion of stellar dead black holes, and there were no fusion conditions for the formation of super black holes, which made the fusion theory directly overthrown.
Soon, scientists put forward a theory about the embryo of a black hole, and the emergence of this theory was also speculated at the time of the Big Bang.
The theory is that such super-black holes could have existed since the early days of the Big Bang, when they would have been like the seeds of black holes, just like ordinary black holes, with very small masses.
As the universe skyrocketed after the Big Bang, this kind of black hole will inevitably attract a lot of matter when it is close to the center of the Big Bang, and it will expand and develop from the early days of the Big Bang, and finally after the baptism of time, it will form today's supermassive black hole.
The Sun is a star, what are the consequences of becoming a black hole
The generation of stellar black holes is the black holes formed after the aging and death of stars, and the sun is also a star, so it naturally has the possibility of aging and death, and what will be the consequences on the earth in the solar system.
According to the calculations and theories of scientists, the main body of the black hole after its formation is completely composed of the singularity at the center of the black hole and the event horizon radius that encloses the singularity.
Although the current solar body is very huge, once it collapses and becomes a black hole, while the mass density increases, its size will also change dramatically, and the volume will become very small, and if the sun becomes a black hole, according to the Schwarzschild radius calculation method announced by scientists, the radius of the black hole formed by the sun is about 3,000 meters.
And such a size is not even as big as the moon, so naturally it will not swallow the earth quickly, but with the change of time, the huge gravitational pull of the black hole will still affect the earth, and it will eventually be swallowed.
