Black Hole Physics

Abstract

 Based on the simple definition, a black hole refers to a point in space with extremely high gravity and density such that even light cannot escape from it. This gravitational force is so strong that it compresses all matter into a tiny region of space. In 1916, Albert Einstein first proposed the possibility of black holes existing through his general theory of relativity. The term "black hole" was coined a few years later in 1967 by the American astronomer John Wheeler. According to general relativity, a mass that is sufficiently compact can warp spacetime and form a black hole. The boundary from which nothing can escape is called the event horizon of the black hole. Black holes do not reflect any light, but they can be detected through their effects on surrounding matter and objects.

This paper aims to briefly explore the mathematical physics of black holes.
