Black Holes : Imaginary Ideas Of Their Structure

7,50,000 kms/second. With the change of velocity, there can be more or fewer red shifts in the spectrum received from the object.
Here I have theoretically represented only my views in a descriptive form only in accordance with the doctrines of Jain philosophy. I conclude this article with the hope that Jain scholars of physics will help me in future to do more research work mathematically, precisely in this subject.

1. Each new advance poses still more questions, sometimes making the universe more puzzling, not less.

2. If we cannot see a black-hole, how do we tell what it looks like? The pencil and paper calculations of the theoretical physicists help us here. [Ibidem, p.14).
3. The radius is numerically equal to 2.95 kilometres times of the mass of the hole in solar masses. Our ten-solar-mass hole is thus 30 kilometres in radius or 60 kilometres across. [Ibidem, p.71).
4. On Phobos the force of gravity is so small that men's arm would be strong enough to put a small stone into orbit around it, or even send it into orbit about Mars itself, some 9000 kilometres away.
The escape velosity is only 5 m/s for Phobos....... [Black Holes, by Jean-Pierre Luminet, Cambridge University Press, U.K., p. 6, 7).
5. To put a satellite into orbit, the rocket launcher has to reach a certain altitude, incline itself to be parallel to the Earth's surface and then increase its velocity to at least 8 km/s. At this velocity the centrifugal force (directed into space) balances the gravitational force (directed towards the centre of the Earth). [Ibidem,p. 6].
6. This critical velocity - identical for a pebble or a rocket - is called the escape velocity. On the Earth's surface it is 11.2 km/s, and it can easily be calculated for any planet, star or other celestial body. [Ibidem, p.7).
7. The escape velocity is only 5 m/s for Phobos and 2.4 km/s for the moon, but 620 km/s for the Sun. From a more dense star, such as a white dwarf, it reaches several thousands kilometres per second. [Ibidem, p.7].
8. The greater the mass, the greater the escape velocity, and for a given mass
