    Graduate Have theories been formed yet on how to stop a black hole?

    Why doesn't the black hole collapse on itself? How does it remain stable with all the mass it compresses into nothing?

    Undergrad Why is silicon used in solar panels instead of carbon?

    How does the crystalline structure of silicon make it useful in solar panels? Why is carbon not used?

    Graduate Have theories been formed yet on how to stop a black hole?

    Does the black hole increase in gravitational force for all the matter it sucks in?

    Graduate Have theories been formed yet on how to stop a black hole?

    If Humans ever came under the need of stopping a black hole i.e. reduce its intense gravity by a huge enough amount.

    Undergrad How do hot exhaust gases propel a rocket forward?

    Haha, i see what you did there. Thank you all this really helps me.

    Undergrad How do hot exhaust gases propel a rocket forward?

    Alright i understand that, so it is possible to change direction etc. using hot gases. It may seem like i am asking stupid questions but i just want to be sure.

    Undergrad How do hot exhaust gases propel a rocket forward?

    Yes Newtons law, but is this also possible in space where there are no particles present. I am thinking of a concept of an electric propulsion system which would obviously include the concepts of magnetism and such.

    Undergrad How do hot exhaust gases propel a rocket forward?

    So then if the propulsion is caused by the molecules of gas with high kinetic energy pushing the inside of the rocket, is it possible while in space to heat the gases inside the rocket and release them to cause further propulsion in space

    Undergrad How do hot exhaust gases propel a rocket forward?

    Hi i am doing a project on the future of solar energy. While reading up on rockets and how they are propelled to escape velocity i noticed all references only tell us that the hot gases propel the rocket up. Could someone explain exactly how this happens. What i mean is does molecule collision...

    What is the Physics Behind Everyday Phenomena?

    I am a curious student and am joining so i can clarify all the questions that pop up in my head, all related to physics of course.
