Black Holes: Imaginary Ideas Of Their Structure
Why do astronomers make such a deep research work on black-holes? Hundred of such blackholes are there in our solar system and outside the galaxy at a distance of hundreds of light years. We are not to obtain anything from them. In their heart of hearts, scientists have a hope that these blackholes are an inexhaustible treasury of energy and in future that energy may be useful to the earth. Of course, this is only an imagination but scientists hope that some time even this imagination will turn into reality. Here a principle of physics is at work. It is that in the whole of the universe, there is a definite quantity of matter and energy. It is never reduced. It is always constant. Therefore, the objects that go into black-holes and get destroyed must undergo some transformation and according to the equation shown by Einstein, energy must be obtained through the destruction of the objects. (Fig.No.1)

But according to the researches that have been made, this does not happen. Some scientists, therefore, think that at the other end of the blackholes, there must be a counter universe (Anti-universe) which is similar to our universe and we invisibly conceive to. The objects gulped from our universe through the black-hole, are obtained across the white hole in a new form. (Fig.No.2)
There are some who believe that the black-hole and the white hole are two divisions of one and only the one universe that we belong to. And, therefore, the universe towards us, to this side of the black-hole and the universe towards that side of white hole are very distantly connected as shown in Fig.No.3. Some scientists believe that the black-hole and the white hole are on the same horizontal level and they are connected by the wormhole. They also believe that our solar system, galaxy etc. lie between them or in some other region outside them. (Fig No.4)
The neutron star shown above has a density generally varying from 1 tonne/cm3 to 4,00,000 tonnes/cm3 and the area of the circular black-hole is 5650 sq. kilometres and near its surface its gravitational force is 1500 crore times greater than the gravitational force on the earth.21 But the weight of the smallest black-hole is 10'5 grams and its size is only as big as that of a proton at the centre of its atom.22
Some modern Jain scholars believe that the black-hole is the kṛṣṇarāji and
