Time Travel, Black Holes, and Relativity

In this black hole worksheet, students read about the three parts to a black hole including the Event horizon, the interior space and the singularity. Students solve five problems which involve using a given formula for the Schwarzschild...

In this black hole worksheet, students solve 3 problems given the equation used to determine the speed of a falling body using its mass, the constant of gravitation and the distance it will travel.

In this power of black holes worksheet, students solve 6 problems including finding the surface area of a black hole, determining the amount of matter in the black hole shell, finding the rest mass energy and determining the time it...

In this black hole worksheet, students use a given equation that relates the rate of matter falling into a black hole to the power emitted by the black hole to determine accreted mass.

For this black holes worksheet, students solve three problems about black holes using given equations for determining the temperature of the gases in a black hole and the visible light from the black hole at given temperatures.

In this black hole worksheet, students read about how images fade to black when they reach an event horizon of a black hole. Students solve 3 problems about black holes using a given equation for luminosity. They find the time it takes...

In this black holes worksheet, students use a formula for time dilation which causes delays in events that occur near the black hole. They solve 6 problems using the equation.

In this black hole worksheet, students read about the black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy called Sagittarius A and observe a Chandra image of the area where the black hole exists. Students solve two problems which include...

How long did it take to get to that altitude? Using a Google Earth file, groups explore a space shuttle launch. Using a calculator, groups determine the function that models the altitude/time data from an actual launch. With the model in...

With the understanding of space-time and fourth dimensional space comes the question of time travel and free will. The physics of time-travel and time relativity is well explained by leading physicists. This is a highly theoretical...
