7.Black-holes: Imaginary Ideas
Of Their Structure
In the boundless universe our earth is nothing more than a mere point. For those who live on the earth, the earth is, however, their all in all. Man's curiosity is so strong that since centuries he has been making efforts to know the earth, its location and importance with reference to the whole universe. As new researches are made in science, various kinds of new problems arise. Sometimes they make the structure of the universe more complex rather than simple and more confusions are created.'
Through the progress of the modern physics, through its modern instruments and through the radio telescope (whose function is to find out unfamiliar space objects moving in the boundless space and give information about their structure), the horizons of astrophysics go on expanding. With their expansion, it is now high time, we dismissed the old concepts of Einstein.
According to the modern physics, there are three main elements in this universe 1. Space, 2. Time and 3. Matter. They alone are thought of everywhere in the physics. Of course, he who thinks of these elements is himself an important constituent element of the universe. In Jain terminology, it is called the living element, soul. But no thought is given to it in the physics because it is non-materialistic. The physics has not been able to give any definite description of it or to make any research on it. Therefore, it has been kept aside, in the whole universe, search is being made for matter.
Nearly in the decade 1971 to 1980 A.D. an influence was drawn with the help of a radio-telescope that there wereblack-holes in the distant deep regions of the universe because from a particular direction, some special kinds of signals were received on the radio-telescope. But with the help of the usual powerful telescope, nothing except a black point was seen in the region. The scientists, therefore, named the black point which was the source of the signals received on the radio-telescope, as the black-hole and they started making inferences about its structure. Of course, they made the inferences according to the principles of the physics.
