The Singularity Guide To Buying A Black Hole

Many Have asked:  "Why Buy Property That Sucks?"

We have the answer!  It's because with a Black Hole, you know it sucks up front before you buy!

But what is a black hole? In general relativity, a black hole is a region of space in which the gravity well is so deep that gravitational time dilation halts time completely forming an event horizon.

Imagine owning property where time has stopped! Never have to paint again!

The event horizon, is a one-way surface into which objects can fall, but out of which nothing can appear. Now that's privacy! 

It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.  That means it never fades like those Chinese made Brown Holes!  Quantum analysis of black holes shows them to possess a temperature and Hawking radiation (don't worry, this is good for cooking Turkeys).

Despite its invisible interior, a black hole can reveal its presence through interaction with other matter; which means you can always find your way home. A black hole can be inferred by tracking the movement of a group of stars that orbit a region in space which looks empty - sneaky huh?. Alternatively, one can see gas falling into a relatively small black hole, from a companion star.

Once you own a black hole, you don't need to travel to see the universe - it comes to see you!

LARGE BLACK HOLES

The first large black holes in the universe likely formed and grew deep inside gigantic, star-like cocoons that smothered their powerful x-ray radiation and prevented surrounding gases from being blown away.

The formation process involved two stages: The predecessors to black hole formation, objects called supermassive stars, probably started forming within the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang some 14 billion years ago. A supermassive star eventually would have grown to a huge size - as much as tens of millions of times the mass of our sun Sol - and would have been short-lived, with its core collapsing in just in few million years.

It's calculated how supermassive stars might have formed, as well as the masses of their cores. These calculations allowed modern scientists to estimate their subsequent size and evolution, including how they ultimately left behind "seed" black holes.

The hydrogen-burning supermassive stars would had to have been stabilized by their own rotation or some other form of energy, such as magnetic fields or turbulence, in order to facilitate the speedy growth of black holes at their centers. What's new now is that scientists think we have found a new mechanism to form these giant supermassive stars, which gives us a new way of understanding how big black holes may have formed relatively fast.

The main requirement for the formation of supermassive stars is the accumulation of matter at a rate of about one solar mass per year - that means they eat the mass equal to our sun every year. Because of the tremendous amount of matter consumed by supermassive stars, subsequent seed black holes that formed in their centers may have started out much bigger than ordinary black holes -- which are the mass of only a few Earth suns - and subsequently grew much faster.

After the seed black holes formed, the process entered its second stage, which is called the "quasistar" stage. In this phase, black holes grew rapidly by swallowing matter from the bloated envelope of gas surrounding them, which eventually inflated to a size as large as Earth's solar system and cooled at the same time.
