1)A few years ago NPR had a guest speaker who spoke on Black Holes,according to the guest speaker black holes (if we were able to make them) could be made by making particles infinitely small and applying gravity,or something along the lines of those words. Bear in mind I am a high school grad w/no collage,so please keep your responses very simple and even a yes or no would be ok. There are follow up questions that I would like to ask after this but I'm not sure you have a place for questions relating to my experience yet.

Black Holes theoretically can come in any size, though Hawking radiation would cause any below a certain size to "evaporate" rapidly. Some theorize that BHs of all sizes were formed during the period of high density immediately after the Big Bang. Some theorize that some extremely large BHs were formed at that time, becoming the "seeds" of the early galaxies. But it is possible(again, in theory)to form any size BH by compressing a mass(no matter how small)to a radius smaller than the Chandrasekhar limit for that mass. This limit is also the term for the mass of a white dwarf beyond which it will naturally collapse into a BH(approximately 1.44 solar masses), any star which produces iron and is unable to blow off enough mass to be below this limit will instantly become a BH(again, theory). It is also possible(theoretically)for a sufficiently violent supernova explosion to cause a core that is somewhat less massive to collapse beyond the radius and form a BH.

It is all because of the gravity of the mass involved and the radius where gravity becomes more than the nuclear forces can counter.

I just noticed that in my question after my first sentence I should have asked if the speaker was correct on some level and should have reiterated "please keep your answers simple",my mistake. Nice answer,big words, but than you must be a highly educated individual and not used to honoring the requests of the lowly. My reason for asking the question was because for many years when I would sometimes lay down and relax and than focus on a particular image I had the ability to experience snip-its(short visions) of the future, these snip-its were always preceded by the sensation of myself(see speakers comments from interview in question) 1)becoming infinitely small 2)immediately followed by and coupled with an energy pulling me downward but not so strong of an energy that I couldn't resist and when I did resist(because of the overwhelming fear of the sensation) I was was abel to extricate myself from the process,but when I didn't resist(lets just say that somedays my balls were bigger than on other day's) than I proceeded to 3) the final stage, this stage can only be described as going into death, the sensation is unbearable 98% of the time. Only when I bore the ordeal of all three stages was I rewarded with a short vision(3 to 7 sec.) of the future. Bearing in mind the speaker on NPR and my repetitive experiences with the "snip-its" I think that most people would agree that asking my question here isn't entirely inappropriate. So smart
guy,got some big words for me now or have I just cast my pearls before swine.

Actually you have it reversed. After your second post the Smart one [sic] has just discovered pearls were thrown to a swine. Interesting psycology lab piece you are though.

Some serious psycho-chemical imbalances there.


I think the biggest word in the answer you received was "Chandrasekhar", which is a name.

You did understand the smaller words? The ones like "Black" and "hole" and "the" and "a"?

Let's answer your intial post, in simple, easy to understand words.

No.

Minor (epileptic) seizure where you remain conscious?


QUOTE
What are they?

Epileptic seizures are due to recurrent, major disturbances of brain activity. Just before a seizure the person affected may have a brief warning period with, for example, a strange feeling, or a particular smell or taste.

Symptoms

Symptoms of a minor epileptic fit may include sudden blankness, twitching limbs and strange noises, for example, smacking of lips.

Never mind gentleman forget that I as ever here I know I will. No disrespect intended but I haven't read anything that deserves my attention. Some of you probably went to collage and this is the best you can do, it really is disheartening . Again, no disrespect intended, just my lowly opinion.

To answer this question for you.

Stars come in many sizes and shapes, but they usually radiate light. Depending on their nature, they radiate some sort of light. White, yellow or red. But they all radiate immense heat. A Black Hole, is a star that radiates only heat, and no light. Pretty much like coal, the white coal is the hottest, not the red or yellow one.

Concerning the star size, and wether it collapses on itself. Whatever it's gravity may or may not be, is not really important. As they are only speculations.

Totally wrong. In every statement.
