Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by
Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.
Einstein's idea of gravity had big consequences. It helped
explain some observations that Newton's idea didn't account
for. It also opened our minds to amazing new possibilities.
For example, taking his cue from Einstein's idea that space
bends, scientist Karl Schwarzschild began to think about
what would happen if a place in space were extremely
distorted. His light would follow the hyper-bent
space, never to turn away from it. This was the first
prediction of a black hole. At first, some scientists (including
Einstein!) rejected Schwarzschild's ideas. Others were
intrigued and began searching the skies for real black holes.
Just decades later, they found the first of them. It just goes to
show: sometimes, as Einstein himself once said,
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Einstein opened our minds to amazing new possibilities
and showed us that imagination is more important than
knowledge.
Scientists searched the skies for decades before they
found the first real black holes.
Karl Schwarzschild used his imagination when he thought
about light and extremely distorted parts of space.
Einstein's idea that space bends inspired scientists to
predict and later discover black holes.
