Black Holes -- details
• Remember – gravity is same as before, away from
mass
– Black holes do NOT necessarily pull all nearby material in
– A planet orbiting a new black hole would just keep on
orbiting as before (assuming the ejected material or
radiated energy didn’t have an effect)
• Any mass can potentially be made into a black hole –
if you can compress it to a size smaller than RS =
2GM/c2
