this is your answer

Explanation:

Neutron stars and black holes are among the most exotic objects in the universe. A lump of neutron star matter the size of a sugar cube would weigh as much as all humanity, and the stars have magnetic fields a trillion times Earth's. Since we can't reproduce such conditions in laboratories, we have to observe neutron stars with telescopes to figure out their properties. Recently the Rossi Explorer, a new X-ray satellite, discovered a remarkable new phenomenon of neutron stars that strip matter from their companion stars: their brightness varies almost periodically more than a thousand times per second. I will describe how this phenomenon gives us a sensitive new tool to probe the properties of neutron stars, and how it may even help us search for black holes.

Intro to Black Holes

A black hole is a region of space in which the matter is so compact that nothing can escape from it, not even light; the "surface" of a black hole, inside of which nothing can escape, is called an event horizon. The matter that forms a black hole is crushed out of existence. Just as the Cheshire Cat disappeared and left only its smile behind, a black hole represents matter that leaves only its gravity behind.

Black holes are usually formed when an extremely massive star dies in a supernova. However, some people think small black holes were formed during the Big Bang, and that the resulting "mini black holes" may be in great abundance in our galaxy.

In principle, black holes can have any mass; black holes formed by stellar death have at least twice the mass of our Sun. Unlike ordinary things (e.g., rocks), which have a size roughly proportional to the cube root of their mass, black holes have radii proportional to their mass. The event horizon of a nonrotating black hole the mass of our Sun has a radius about 3~km. Thus, large black holes aren't very dense! A black hole a billion times as massive as our Sun, such as is thought to exist in the center of some galaxies, has an average density just twenty times the density of air.

Black holes, like any gravitating objects, exert a tidal force. If you approach a black hole feet first, the gravitational force at your feet is greater than the force at your head. The tidal force at the event horizon is smaller for larger black holes: you would get torn to shreds far outside a black hole the mass of our sun, but at the event horizon of a billion solar mass black hole the tidal force would only be a millionth of an ounce!
