This discussion centers on the relationship between black holes and physics, prompted by a student's need for foundational information for a research paper. Participants recommend starting with the definition of "black hole" to understand its significance in physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of grasping basic concepts before delving deeper into related topics such as general relativity and quantum mechanics.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, astrophysicists, and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental concepts of black holes and their significance in the field of physics.
coyotewater said:I have to write a research paper on a topic of my choice for physics class, I chose black holes simply because they interest me and it was one of the few topics unchosen. Can anyone with more scientific intellect then myself provide some insight as to how black holes relate to physics? Just some base information would be great and I can work from there, I just need some topics to expand upon. Thanks!
