I've not really gotten the chance to learn a lot about black holes. I'd like to, and I think this essay was definitely a good start. Well-written and easy to understand, only I think you should have put a double space between the paragraphs to make it a bit easier on the eyes. Good job, though.

*is off to research more about Black Holes*

the thing with the trains...is that the doppler effect max is talking about?

The subject matter for this one is quite intriguing. You did this subject well and you really did your research about a Black Hole. I am impressed. I usually read in the horror section but I thought I would give this a read for a change of pace. Is this for a college paper or a high school one? One suggestion I would make with this is to make it a lot longer. You got a lot of strong subject matter here and some theories that I wished my science teacher talked about when I was in school, you did this nicely and I will be looking at your other work.

This is fairly well written, but more importantly, it's very well researched. I do think that you could have simplified a few things, though... whatever happened to Einstein's example with a train, or something like that? Actually, that may have not been Einstein...

Anyway, my point is that you should strive to make it so that the people with the least intelligence who read it can still understand it.

Also, isn't a "white hole" a quasar?

And now that I think about it, why didn't you use the evidence of the marvelous movie, Event Horizon? That proved that once you go through a black hole (if it was a black hole) your eye appears in the palm of your hand and you chant random latin words. Which is really ** cool.

Long and in-depth; certainly not for kiddies indeed. Try reading Stephen Hawking's "A Breif History of Time." It touches upon everything you've mentioned here and, in the illustrated edition, includes pictures that make the concepts easier to get across. You get marks for taking on such a huge subject and comeing off as well as you did, but I think there were still some problems. Cheif among these is your formatting.

Which style of formatting is it that you chose for this report? What I've seen matches neither APA or MLA standards. Using the numbered footnotes resulted in several instances where lists became confused with citations, and just pointing to the sources used does little to aid the reader looking for specific information. On something so large as this topic, it would be helpful if your citations included where in the sources you got your information. There are no other formatting problems I can see, but I do have some suggestions:

1) Double Space.

2) When making a list, do what I'm doing here.

3) Set the subject headers apart from the regular text in some way.

4) Try to break up these monolithic paragraphs you've got going.

These suggestions are just my preferences of course, and I suggest them only because I've found it makes things easier to read.

Other than that, a good run. If someone wanted to find an essay on this site that dealt with Black Holes, I'd send'em to you.

This is very nicely written.

I think this was very interesting, not my type of science though...I lean more towards Freud, and it was very well written and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
