What are black holes and worm holes in the universe?
Black holes are places in space containing matter so dense and compressed that their escape velocities exceed the speed of light. The place where the escape velocity goes from under the speed of light to over it is called the ‘event horizon’, and any light trying to get out from beyond the event horizon will just be curved around back into the black hole without ever escaping. Furthermore, objects that come too close to a black hole will also be sucked in by the immense gravity and become part of the black hole. Black holes are formed after the explosions of certain kinds of massive stars, when they run out of hydrogen fuel. There is still some debate over whether black holes really exist, but it is fairly certain that at least something resembling them exists, because objects with black hole characteristics have been observed in other parts of the Universe. Worm holes are a bit like black holes in some ways, but overall are quite different. In theory, they are places where the space o
Black holes are celestial objects with such intense gravity that not even light can move away from them which means such objects can’t be seen, hence the name “black hole.” Most black holes are the remnants of stars much more massive than our own sun that have ended their lives. Worm holes are theoretical shortcuts through space which supposedly could form if enough energy were available to actually bend space in such a way that the distance between two places would be shorter. To get a rough idea of how this might work, put two dots on a flat sheet of paper about 8 inches apart. Then fold the paper (space) in such a way that the two dots are opposite each other. You can see that the 8″ distance is now significantly less. NOTE: Nothing like a worm hole has ever been observed so far.
