Black Hole
Gravity's ultimate trap warps space and time beyond escape
39 hours ago

What key feature of a black hole marks the point beyond which nothing can escape, and why is it significant?
The event horizon; it represents the boundary where escape velocity exceeds the speed of light, sealing an object's fate.
The singularity; it is the surface that traps light and matter.
The accretion disk; it prevents anything from escaping the black hole.

What is the primary consequence of crossing a black hole's event horizon according to general relativity?
An object experiences immediate destruction at the event horizon.
The event horizon emits detectable signals warning of its presence.
An object cannot escape and is inevitably drawn toward the singularity.

What is the primary consequence of crossing an event horizon around a black hole?
Objects can freely move back and forth across the boundary
The event horizon is a physical surface that objects bounce off
No signals or information can escape back to an outside observer

What role does Earth's magnetosphere play in relation to cosmic radiation?
It amplifies cosmic rays, increasing their energy before they reach Earth.
It deflects most cosmic rays away from reaching Earth's surface.
It converts cosmic rays into visible light that can be seen from Earth.

How does gravitational lensing help scientists study dark matter in the universe?
By directly detecting the light emitted by dark matter through gravitational lensing effects.
By observing the way light from distant objects is bent and distorted, scientists can map the distribution of dark matter that does not emit light but has mass.
By measuring the temperature changes in light caused by dark matter during gravitational lensing.
