Cosmic Holes

     Cosmic Holes are points in space where physics tends to act different than how we normally perceive our universe. Black Holes and Wormholes are two primary examples of cosmic holes. A Back Hole is a singularity resulting from the violent compression of the remnants of dying stars. As massive stars die, they create a violent massive and deadly explosion called a Supernova. A Black Hole does not form from the death of every star. That is to say a Black Hole is not created from every Supernova. There have been many observable instances of  supernovae (this refers to more than one supernova) that have dazzled ancient civilizations for centuries. 

     Every Supernova seems to give off an incredible amount of deadly gamma radiation, as well as other forms of radiation like Infrared (IR), Microwave, Visual Light, Ultraviolet (UV) and Radio Waves. 

     A lot of Supernovae often unnoticed. When a star emits light, that light is sent across the universe. Though the energy emitted is traveling at the speed of light, it still takes time to reach earth. Even though our sun is our closest neighbouring star, it still takes the light emitted from it to reach Earth. We know that the amount of time it takes light from the sun to reach Earth is about eight minutes. Try to imagine that with other stars. 

     It is often thought of that if we were to look out in to the universe, we are looking back in time. This may sound insane and crazy, but suppose I'm using a telescope and I'm using to gaze directly at the sun (don't try this with out a special filter by the way, this would possibly cause permanent eye damage) I would be seeing the light emitted from the sun as it was eight minutes ago. If I were gazing at stars further away I would be seeing further back in time. 

     So in a way, a telescope could be thought of a time machine of sorts. Does time travel seem as impossible as you thought? 

     It seems frustrating that we are not able to completely keep tabs on the rate at which most Supernovae occur, but I'm confident that we will be able to create better telescopes that will be able to help us get and become accurate at predicting when stars will go supernova.

     There is a theory that Black Holes have the capability to generate wormholes. A Wormhole is a tunnel through space that is often thought of as a shortcut to your destination. When you pass through the event horizon of a Black Hole the traveler is sent through a wormhole to what could be another dimension or universe. 

     From what scientists have noticed, no one can really survive a trip through a Black Hole. The high amount of gravity generated by the Black Hole would cause a lot of friction and G-Forces resulting in a large amount of heat and pressure that coud literally tear your spaceship into pieces. Light cannot even escape the intense gravitational pull of a Black Hole. We have not been able to explore, nor prove the existence of Wormholes, but Albert Einstein was convinced they exist. Some physicists refer to wormholes as an Einstein–Rosen bridge.
