How Can Black Holes Form and Behave in Our Universe?

AI Thread Summary
Black holes form when matter becomes highly concentrated, distorting spacetime significantly, particularly within the event horizon. The expansion of space does not prevent black hole formation, similar to how it does not inhibit the creation of stars and planets. Hawking radiation suggests that black holes can evaporate over time, although this effect is minimal for larger black holes. During the Big Bang, rapid inflation prevented the universe from collapsing into a single black hole by allowing matter to spread out quickly. Understanding these concepts requires exploring cosmological theories and the nature of spacetime.

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.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
