How Can Black Holes Form and Behave in Our Universe?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion addresses the formation and behavior of black holes, focusing on key concepts such as spacetime distortion, cosmic inflation, and Hawking radiation. Participants clarify that black holes can form despite the expansion of space, as gravitational forces can overcome this expansion. The conversation also highlights that Hawking radiation allows for the potential evaporation of black holes, challenging the notion that they can only gain mass. Additionally, the discussion contrasts the early universe's inflationary phase with black hole formation, emphasizing the unique conditions present during the Big Bang.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and spacetime concepts
  • Familiarity with black hole physics and event horizons
  • Knowledge of cosmic inflation and its implications
  • Basic grasp of quantum mechanics, particularly Hawking radiation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics"
  • Explore "Cosmic inflation and its role in the early universe"
  • Study "General relativity and its implications for spacetime curvature"
  • Investigate "The lifecycle of black holes and their formation processes"
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students interested in astrophysics, particularly those exploring black hole formation, cosmic inflation, and the fundamental laws of the universe.

Ok here is a thing I don't understand: How can a black hole exist? There are several things bugging me about black holes:

1) The more concentrated the matter is, the more deformed spacetime is and the slower the time is (from our point of reference). How can Black Hole be created in finite amount of time from our perspective?
2) Shouldnt the expanding of space prevent black hole from being created? Pulling the matter appart just around the borders of black hole creation?

3) Hawking radiation, how can a black hole be evaporated by hawkings radiation? Once the mass lowers under the critical mass needed for black hole it should not undergo the process of radiation and should start gaining the matter back, no?

And something extra:

4) Just want to know, during Big Bang, when all the matter was super concentrated, the super inflation prevented the space from becoming one big black hole by stretching the space so fast that the matter could clump togever?

Thank you for answering my dumb questions. :)
Cheers

The matter, on large scale is uniformly distributed, but this isotropy is broken by the mass of the object, this object create a gravity that contrasts the expansion anti energy.

It's only really distorted inside the event horizon - what happens inside the event horizon is anyones guess.

No more than it would stop planets or stars forming.

3) Hawking radiation, how can a black hole be evaporated by hawkings radiation? Once the mass lowers under the critical mass needed for black hole it should not undergo the process of radiation and should start gaining the matter back, no?
Hawking radiation means it may be impossible for micro black holes to grow, the effect on stellar size black holes is very small.

4) Just want to know, during Big Bang, when all the matter was super concentrated, the super inflation prevented the space from becoming one big black hole by stretching the space so fast that the matter could clump togever?
You can regard the initial universe as sort of the opposite of a black hole - this was one of the early models.

Thank you for answering my dumb questions. :)
They're very good questions.
 
Durin inflation the velocity of expanding was c?

No, it was order of magnitude greater.

I can't link in this forum yet, but someone posted a nice link to an explanation of what inflation was.

Just check out "Cosmic inflation" on wikipedia, you should find all the answer you need.

Or there is always the library for more valid info.
 
you can always type out 'www dot awesomewebsite dot com' or something like that if you know a good site and can't yet post URL's.
