Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 187 Black Hole! (Seeking monthly votes!!!)

Right, everything is right!
At this moment, all the questions that had troubled Jiang Yang, countless scientific researchers, and countless people who fought for the continuation of human civilization until their last breath, and all the questions that had kept countless people searching for answers, finally had definitive answers.

The Einstein ring is a peculiar phenomenon in the universe.

As we all know, light can also be distorted by massive celestial bodies.

From a relativistic perspective, massive celestial bodies cause the distortion of space, and light travels through space.

Therefore, when space is distorted, the light traveling through that space will also be distorted.

It's like when chopsticks are inserted into water, they appear bent to people.

So what happens when a massive celestial body happens to be in the middle of a luminous object—whether it's a star or a galaxy—and a human observer?

Clearly, the light from that star or galaxy would also be bent by a massive celestial body. Light that would normally travel in other directions would be distorted and reach the eyes of human observers.

Thus, to people's eyes, it appears as if it has the ability to create multiple clones, presenting multiple images through a series of complex mechanisms. These multiple images connect to form a circle.

This is the Einstein ring.

At that moment, Jiang Yang saw the sun distorted into the shape of an Einstein ring. What did this mean?
This clearly means that a massive celestial body has appeared between him and the sun.

Massive celestial bodies are typically very large, such as entire galaxies like the Milky Way or the Andromeda Galaxy.

However, at this moment, there are clearly no such massive celestial bodies in the solar system.

What celestial body is small in size but possesses super strong gravity, enough to warp space and cause Einstein rings?
Based on existing scientific theories, Jiang Yang knew that there was only one candidate.

Black hole!

Only a black hole, with its extremely small size, can cause enough distortion in space to bend sunlight and cause a solar ring to appear!
Black holes are amazing celestial bodies.

As we all know, the greater the mass of a celestial body, the stronger its gravity. So, a question arises: suppose a celestial body has an enormous mass and an unimaginably strong gravity, what would it rely on to counteract its own gravity?

Gravity is essentially an inward compressive force, while the object itself possesses repulsive forces between molecules and atoms, which is an outward expanding force.

When two forces are in balance, an object can maintain a stable shape and exist stably.

However, when the gravity becomes too strong and the repulsive force within the matter cannot be overcome, it will continue to compress until it becomes a black hole.

At the boundary of a black hole, the escape velocity equals the speed of light. The speed of light is the fastest speed allowed in the universe; any object with mass, even a neutrino with extremely small mass, cannot exceed the speed of light.

Once it crosses the boundary of the black hole, the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light.

This means that once something enters a black hole, nothing can escape.

If we were to turn the Earth into a black hole, we would need to compress the entire Earth to the size of a soybean.

To turn the sun into a black hole, it would need to be compressed to a radius of only 3 kilometers. One can imagine the immense gravitational pull near a black hole. Under such gravity, warping space and bending the path of light would be effortless.

So……

Holy crap, it all makes sense! All the previous questions and unbelievable phenomena now match up!

Why do massive earthquakes occur that cover the entire Earth? Why did experts ultimately conclude, based on the 310GB of data, that the energy causing these massive earthquakes did not originate from the mantle but rather acted upon the entire Earth?

The earthquake occurred because a black hole appeared next to the Earth, and the huge tidal forces acted on every part of the Earth at the same time, causing the entire Earth to face the fate of being torn apart!

In reality, it wasn't an earthquake, but rather the Earth being torn apart by the immense gravity of a black hole!

Why will the Earth disappear?

The reason is quite simple: Earth was torn apart by that black hole and ultimately swallowed up!
Earth has already been "eaten" and merged into the black hole, becoming part of it. How could our side possibly find any trace of Earth?
Why is there such a violent electromagnetic storm?

It's clear that the black hole's gravity stirred up the entire Earth, including its core. The Earth's core is the engine that creates its magnetic field; its disturbance inevitably led to a more erratic magnetic field than ever before. Add to that the intense radiation released during the black hole's tearing apart and devouring of the Earth, and it would be a miracle if the electromagnetic environment wasn't raging.

Why did I see the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon all brighten at the same time when I was on the space station in my previous life, leading me to mistakenly believe that the Sun had become brighter and that the root cause of the massive global earthquakes was the Sun?

In retrospect, it's not that the sun became brighter at all. The sun hasn't actually changed; it's simply that the light from the sun reaching the Earth and the moon was distorted by the black hole, creating a kind of "focusing" effect, which led to this phenomenon.

And because of the wrong angle, he did not see the solar ring phenomenon in the space station in his previous life, so he did not make the connection to black holes.

The reason I can see the Einstein rings right now is simply because the angle is just right.

Why did the moon's surface experience extremely high levels of radiation so soon after the apocalypse, almost melting the entire lunar surface?
That's radiation released by the black hole as it devours the Earth!
When a black hole devours an object, the object does not fall directly into the black hole.

Under tidal forces, it will first be torn apart, then rotate at high speed around the black hole, forming an accretion disk.

The matter within the accretion disk rubs against each other violently, causing its energy to rise extremely high, which obviously releases intense radiation.

This radiation includes all types, naturally including infrared, visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, etc., which carry heat.

At that moment, it released energy comparable to the sun, easily scorching the moon.

We should probably even feel fortunate about this.

Jiang Yang knew that during the process of forming an accretion disk around a black hole and a large amount of matter falling into the black hole, there would also be jets at the two poles of the black hole.

Compared to the conventional radiation of the accretion disk, the energy carried by the jet is unimaginably high.

Their speed can even reach more than 80% of the speed of light!

If the jet had been aimed directly at the moon, the entire moon would have been completely torn apart in just a few seconds, instead of just electromagnetic disturbances and the moon's surface being scorched.
