Scientists created a black hole in lab to test a theory, then it started glowing extraordinarily
Black holes are one of the most elusive objects in the space, but this simulation created by researchers in Netherlands might help us know more about their mysteries.
NASA says that black holes are the most mysterious cosmic objects that have been studied a lot, but still, many aspects of their existence remain a mystery. The most commonly known thing about a black hole is that gravity and spacetime are so strong in it that even light can't escape. Recently, scientists have created a valid enough simulation of black holes that might contribute to their studies. The black hole analog replicates the theoretical radiation emitted by the real thing, as per Science Alert and can help scientists study the black hole in actual detail.
These scientists have used a chain of atoms in a single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole and experienced what is known as the "Hawking radiation." The phenomenon can be described as particles born from disturbances in the quantum fluctuations caused by the black hole's break in spacetime.
The researchers believe that the simulation can help resolve the friction between two conflicting frameworks that describe the universe i.e. the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. The general theory of relativity, also known as Einstein's theory of relativity, describes the behavior of gravity as a continuous field known as spacetime. Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles using the mathematics of probability.
