Ok. Today I'm goin' to tok about my blog's origin. I actually thought of the name after goin to the first day of the NUS Maths and Science camp. There was a topic about the compo "I am curious about..." at the camp, so apparently I thought of the issue my brother juz mentioned to me 2 days ago-The mysterious black hole! I plainly took the 2nd and 3rd words(Mysterious Black) and altered it into "Black-mystic".

This is a summary of a black hole: A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull after having fallen past its event horizon.

(Two important surfaces around a rotating black hole. The inner sphere is the static limit (the event horizon). It is the inner boundary of a region called the ergosphere. The oval-shaped surface, touching the event horizon at the poles, is the outer boundary of the ergosphere. Within the ergosphere a particle is forced (dragging of space and time) to rotate and may gain energy at the cost of the rotational energy of the black hole (Penrose process).


Anws, I have a few pics adapted from Wikipedia about black holes...

Firstly, I have a pics showing how a Black Hole looks like...



( Simulated view of a black hole in front of the Milky Way. The hole has 10 solar masses and is viewed from a distance of 600 km.) Pls see it as a 3D pic.


Next is a pictures that depicts a galaxy passing in front of a Black Hole, and the gravity from the Black Hole is exerted at such a great amount that even the light that is travelling into our eyes from the galaxy is bent by the Black Hole. Enjoy...(Pls see it as a 3D pic too.)



(Gravitational lensing of a black hole caused from going by a galaxy in the background.)


Next is a picture of a Black Hole "sucking" light from a star.

Enuf of black hole tok.
