EXCUSE ME BUT I'M EDUCATING THE PEOPLE OF LOTC. NOW AS I WAS SAYING A BLACK HOLE IS A REGION OF SPACETIME WHERE GRAVITY PREVENTS ANYTHING, INCLUDING LIGHT, FROM ESCAPING. THE THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY PREDICTS THAT A SUFFICIENTLY COMPACT MASS WILL DEFORM SPACETIME TO FORM A BLACK HOLE. AROUND A BLACK HOLE THERE IS A MATHEMATICALLY DEFINED SURFACE CALLED AN EVENT HORIZON THAT MARKS THE POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS CALLED “BLACK” BECAUSE IT ABSORBS ALL THE LIGHT THAT HIT’S THE HORIZON, REFLECTING NOTHING, JUST LIKE A PERFECT BLACK BODY IN THERMODYNAMICS. QUANTUM MECHANICS PREDICT THAT BLACK HOLES EMIT RADIATION LIKE A BLACK BODY WITH A FINITE TEMPERATURE. THIS TEMPERATURE IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE MASS OF THE BLACK HOLE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBSERVE THIS RADIATION FOR BLACK HOLES OF STELLAR MASS OR GREATER.

SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE
