Unveiling the Mystery of Black Holes
Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is on a mission to capture an image of a "photon ring," a thin ring of light believed to surround every black hole.
According to physicists, black holes are regions of the universe where spacetime is severely warped, making it impossible for anything to escape. However, particles of light, or photons, can graze the edge of the black hole without falling in, orbiting it one or more times before breaking away.
This phenomenon creates a tendril-thin halo of light, known as a photon ring, which has the potential to reveal secrets about the black hole's edge. An image of this photon ring could also test Einstein's general theory of relativity.
A mysterious ring of light is thought to surround every black hole.
Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse this elusive photon ring, which could lead to groundbreaking discoveries about black holes.
