The lack of instruments made it only worse for them to imagine the worst as always.
Famous astronomers only lit the fire of terror in people with fresh discoveries out there. A gateway to heaven is one of the many ridiculous things they imagined the universe, or rather anything outside our earth, to be.
Well, this might stir up some controversy as we are still oblivious to what the universe holds in store for us.
A telescope seemed like a gift from God himself, or even an eye of God. Galileo’s modifications made life easier for everyone. The entirety of the cosmos, the distance, the colorful displays of nebulae, all of them bend the laws of thinking, funnily.
We are just an atom ridden with our own problems inside of a tiny dot(earth), making ourselves make any sense and bringing a sense of relevance to our lives. Not to drift into nihilism, but this is the beauty of it all.
Stars, bigger than comprehensible, planets with different life forms, none known to us, galaxies circling the Local Group, and whatnot.
The discovery of black holes stands as one of the most revolutionary and transformative moments in the history of science, reshaping our understanding of the cosmos and challenging fundamental concepts in physics and astronomy.
From their theoretical prediction to their direct observation, black holes have altered our perception of the universe and catalyzed groundbreaking advancements in astrophysics and cosmology.
Initially proposed as a consequence of Einstein's theory of general relativity, black holes were a theoretical curiosity—regions of spacetime where gravity is so immense that nothing, not even light, can escape.
However, it wasn't until the latter half of the 20th century that astronomers began to accumulate compelling evidence for the existence of these enigmatic cosmic objects.
The discovery of black holes profoundly impacted astrophysics by providing insights into the life cycles of stars and the dynamics of galaxies.
Stellar-mass black holes, formed from the collapse of massive stars, play a crucial role in stellar evolution, influencing the fate of galaxies and the distribution of matter in the universe.
Moreover, the existence of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies has transformed our understanding of galactic dynamics and the evolution of cosmic structures.
This in itself is more fascinating than everything, and that is an understatement. The biggest black holes, TON 618 and Phoenix A, are literally bigger than imaginable. Phoenix A roars with 100 billion solar masses.
The size is what boggles everyone’s mind, UY Scuti, VY Canis Majoris, Betelguese, etc., are known to be the biggest stars of the universe, and they are not even close to the size of the block hole behemoths.
On top of that, all these stars are about to go supernova. So the result of that is also a black hole.
All these wouldn’t have been possible without the discoveries of vital instruments by astronomers. Every country’s space agency looks to only reach different planets in the solar system, and that is also a stretch, for now.
We’ve started seeing the depths of space, but reaching there would be an impossible task due to the universe continuously expanding. Who knows what lies trillions of lightyears away? We’re still stuck at billions, which in itself we cannot wrap our minds around.
