The multitude of forces we experience in our daily lives can be classified into four main categories: gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, and weak force. Recently, scientists have uncovered potential indications of a fifth fundamental force of nature, as we previously discussed. Now, it is essential to delve into the mechanics of these fundamental forces. Explore…
In order to create a black hole, one simply needs to compress any form of matter to a specific radius, such as water. Once compressed, it will transform into a black hole. Certain black holes are formed when stars reach the end of their lifespan and undergo compression. The outer layers of the star exert…
