Surf these sites: Black Hole FAQ -- A NASA site divided into three sets of questions based on the readers prior knowledge. Black Hole FAQ -- Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull Black Holes -- The "Newton''s Apple" explanation of black holes, including some interesting science fair projects on the curvature of space. Black Holes -- A set of slides on black holes used for a presentation at the University of Winnipeg. Black Holes -- Lecture notes for a course on Black Holes given at Cambridge. The course covers some of the developments in Black Hole physics of the 1960s and 1970s. Black Holes -- A one hour lecture given to senior liberal arts students on the concepts surrounding black holes Black Holes -- A site with general information about black holes, with material on white holes and worm holes as well Black Holes Simultions -- A series of images and simulations of various phenomena associated with a black hole Black Holes and Beyond -- A brief description of Black Holes for the layman Black Holes made Simple -- An overview of modern research in black holes without the use of mathematical equations. Black Holes, White Holes, and Worm Holes -- A set of answers to frequently asked questions. Black Holes: A general introduction -- This article presents in a pictorial way the basic concepts of black hole''s theory, as well as a description of the astronomical sites where black holes are suspected to lie. Cambridge Relativity - Black Holes -- An overview of black holes and information on current research from Cambridge General Relativity and Black Holes -- A set of notes on aspects of black holes. Geometry Around Black Holes -- An exhibition on relativistic computer dynamics used to present the theory of black holes. Gravitational Redshift -- An overview of the effects on light in the presence of a black hole. Hawking Radiation -- Classically, black holes are black. Quantum mechanically, black holes radiate, with a radiation known as Hawking radiation, after the British physicist Stephen Hawking who first proposed it. Higher Dimensional Chern-Simons Theories and Topological Black Holes -- It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. In this paper, a brief summary of these new black holes is given. Kerr''s Rotating Black Holes -- A mathematical overview of rotating black holes, including several VRML movies. Modern Research by Eduard Westra -- Research done about low mass black holes. On the level of 2nd year astronomy students. Orbits in Strongly Curved Spacetime -- A JAVA applet which simulates the orbit of a low mass test particle orbitting a non-rotating black hole. Relativistic Disk Images -- A series of images which represent an accretion disk around a black hole as it would appear to a distant observer. A relativistic ray-tracer calculated the photon trajectories Schwarzschild Geometry -- The Schwarzschild geometry describes the spacetime geometry of empty space surrounding any spherical mass. Schwarzschild metric in Kruskal Coordinates -- A set of coordinates in which the event horizon is not a singularity of the Schwarzschild metric. Schwarzschild''s Spacetime -- A site explaining the Schwarzschild solution and how it leads to black holes. Stringy Black Holes -- A set of notes of string theory in the presence of black holes. Virtual Trips to Black Holes and Neutron Stars -- Downloadable computer simulations of black holes, neutron stars, and the surrounding areas.
