For the first time in the history of the space object was created in the laboratory. Laboratory black hole is working in the microwave spectrum. And, as I hope scientists may soon she will be able to catch part of the visible light. Then you can get solar panels unprecedented efficiency. But not will suck if she mankind together with the Earth, as a vacuum cleaner? It is known that the hole is a region of space-time with an unusually strong gravitational field. What would it neither came back it would not return. This applies even light, which is why black holes and got its name: the body, absorbing all the light that falls on it, and does not emit its own seems to be absolutely black. And so they are invisible.

Scientists judge the existence of black holes only on the radiation falling into them, and warmed up with this cosmic body. So, for example, supermassive monster the center of our galaxy, the milky way, astronomers were able to detect because in this place every day disappears interstellar matter. And we all will be gone without a trace in the Chinese hole?

But scientists calm: before you start to fear the possible consequences, laboratory black hole is not a subject of great gravity, which are located in the centers of galaxies, but the device, consisting of dozens of bands metamaterials, which simulates the curvature of space-time, creating an artificial event horizon - it absorbs electromagnetic radiation, writes zex2.ru.

Physics sure is an experiment that can truly revolutionize the future of solar energy.

By the WAY

Eating black holes?

"MEALS" - COMETS...

In June 2010 the researchers of the European space Agency has enhanced the image with the Japanese orbital telescope Suzuki. And 53 million light-years from Earth have discovered a black hole mass of several million times the mass of the Sun. According to the head of the astronomical Institute of Kharkiv Oleg Sideline, this black hole feeds" comets. One of them, and gave her whereabouts. Ice comet, flying through the Solar system, was part of a comet cloud, which revolves around this hole.

- We noticed that they disappear in this place galaxy with a frequency of two years, explains Sidelin. - Cloud gradually reduced, because the gravitation of a black hole is very strong. The force of attraction hole breaks a comet and forms one of the rings of matter around it. When they fall in a hole, we fix large bursts of x-rays.

...STARS

on March 28, 2011, scientists were able to observe how the powerful gravity of the space monster tore a star literally in pieces in a matter of minutes. And the dying star has sent into the Universe her last breath - the most powerful flash of radiation. The murders occurred in the constellation of the Dragon. Captured its orbiting gamma-ray telescope "swift".

...AND GAS CLOUDS

In December 2011 at the center of our galaxy using located in the Chilean Andes giant telescope (Very Large Telescope, astronomers from the max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial physics in Garching (Germany) has discovered gas cloud, which weight exceeds the mass of the Earth three times.

It rotates in a spiral around the black hole, the mass of which exceeds the mass of the Sun is four million times. Speed of rotation of the cloud today - 2350 kilometers per second, and it is constantly increasing as a result of exposure monstrous gravity. While "lunch" holes is from her 40 million kilometers. According to calculations, in the "stomach" holes he will be only towards the end of 2013. According to the assumed scenario of astronomers, during the "meal" black hole can tear gas cloud in "shreds". Then there will be an explosion of x-ray radiation due to the compression and heating of gas. And ground-based and space telescopes can fix the outbreak of radiation.
