Three scientists awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on black holes

Stockholm, Ta. Tuesday, October 6, 2020

Britain's Roger Penrose, Germany's Rinehard Genzl and America's Andrea Gaz are the three scientists who will receive the Nobel Prize in Physics. All three researchers have researched the black hole, the mysterious creation of the universe.

The Nobel Committee said Roger presented important evidence regarding the formation of black holes. So half the prize money will be given to them. The other two researchers will share the remaining half between Reinhard and Andrea.

At the center of the galaxy is a black hole that controls the stars in the entire galaxy, according to research by the two scientists. A black hole is a structure of the universe that cannot be seen. But since its mouth has tremendous gravity, there is evidence of its presence. Its gravity is so powerful that even the rays entering it cannot return. That is why it cannot be seen.

Albert Einstein introduced the general theory of relativity about space and black holes a century ago. In 1965, ten years after Einstein's death, Roger established the link between the theory of relativity and black holes. That is why the Nobel Committee now honored him. Roger, 89, is affiliated with the University of Oxford.

Reinhardt, 68, is the director of the world-famous Max Planck Institute in Germany. Andrea, a 55-year-old female scientist, is affiliated with the University of California. Only the first 3 women have won the Nobel in Physics.

Marie Curie in 1903, Maria Meyer in 1963 and Donna Strickland in 2018. Andrea is the fourth woman in history to receive this honor. The two researchers led a team investigating a black hole at the center of the galaxy. And both researchers have established in their own way that there is something very heavy and powerful in the center of the galaxy.
