• A flat plain

• The bottom of a valley

What is the effect of gravity on space and time near a black hole?

Why can't light escape from a black hole?

• Because the gravitational pull is too strong

• Because it is too slow

• Because it gets reflected back

What happens to time as an object approaches the Event Horizon?

• It reverses

• It speeds up

• It remains constant

• It grinds to a halt

What is the phenomenon called when light loses energy and shifts to red as it escapes a black hole's gravity?

• Time dilation

• Photon scattering

• Redshift

• Blueshift

What is the cosmic firewall theory about?

• A magnetic field around black holes

• A wall of fire at the Event Horizon

• A cooling effect near black holes

• A protective barrier around black holes

What is the main challenge in studying the Event Horizon of a black hole?

• Its distance from Earth

• The inability to return information

• The interference from other celestial bodies

• The lack of light

What is the term used to describe the stretching of objects as they fall into a black hole?

• Compression

• Spaghettification

• Fragmentation

• Condensation

What happens at the inner Horizon of a rotating black hole?

• It reflects light back

• It stops all motion

• It acts as a particle accelerator

• It becomes a calm region

What is one possible outcome of the extreme conditions inside a black hole?
