The lab is stimulating a black hole in a 'high-tech bathtub' in order to advance our understanding of black holes.
“It is easy to get intimidated when thinking about black holes. All the effects predicted to occur around black holes seem so bizarre, so weird, so different,” Weinfurtner told theIn this ongoing experiment, the black hole conditions are being stimulated with the help of a tiny vortex produced inside a bell jar of superfluid helium. To show the quantum nature of a black hole, helium is cooled to -271 degrees Celsius.
The ripples formed on the helium's surface resemble radiation approaching a black hole. Scientists closely study this rippling effect using a high-resolution camera with nanometre precision. By stimulating superfluid helium, scientists may gain a better understanding of the underlying causes occurring in the black hole that might exhibit quantum effects.This lab-based scenario might potentially be utilized to better understand Hawking radiation, which is the thermal radiation released spontaneously by black holes.
