Einstein in 1915 predicted that as matter gets close to a black hole, it will plunge straight in due to the massive force of the space-time tear's gravity.
In 1915, Einstein predicted that as matter gets close to a black hole, it will plunge straight in due to the massive force of the space-time tear’s gravity.
Studying plunging regions may lead to new information related to the fundamental nature of space-time. Until today, this was just a prediction and has never been observed in reality. However, NASA’s NuSTAR and NICER space telescopes have confirmed that these regions do exist.The discovery was made possible by a team of researchers led by the Department of Physics at Oxford. The team also found that this region exerts some of the strongest gravitational forces yet identified in the galaxy.
“This is the first look at how plasma, peeled from the outer edge of a star, undergoes its final fall into the center of a black hole, a process happening in a system around ten thousand light years away,” said Dr. Andrew Mummery, of Oxford University Physics, who led the study.
