Topic: Competence and no holes in modeling Abstract Motivation: When a model is not competent then it fails to produce what is required by the system. Hence the performance of the system drops. If there are defects in the model, the system might perform differently than what it is suppose to do. If the defects are identified during modeling, it requires less effort and cost to fix it. Incompetent model will produce a poor quality system. Goal: To prevent defects or holes in modeling and to come

Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space. Although

Black Holes Black holes are some of the most interesting objects in the entire Universe. What Is a Black Hole? A black hole is a place in the space where the gravitational pull is so much that even light rays can not escape. This strong gravitational pull is because of the matter that has been squeezed into a tiny space. This thing can happen when a star is dying. Black holes can not be seen by us,because no light ray can get out from it. They are like invisible.We can only study the black

Black holes are one of the most mysterious and arguably one of the least understood entities in our universe. They are still somewhat of an unknown due to the difficulty astronomers have studying and researching them. It is hard to examine black holes due to their vacuum-like composition and the fact that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Signals such as radio waves and X-rays can be sent into a black hole, but cannot escape, thus, making further investigations inside almost impossible. Furthermore

Black Holes: How are they formed? Black holes have been studied and researched for quite a long time. It has been proven that black holes contain such incredibly dense and compact matter, that its gravitational force is strong enough to prevent anything and everything, including light, from escaping. Although they do not emit any detectable light, scientists are able to measure the X-rays , visible light, and radio waves emitted by the material objects orbiting around it. By doing this, you can

Black holes are regions in space, where gravity is so immense that light itself can not escape1. A Black Hole is invisible to the eye, because there is no light inside of a black hole. However, this does not mean that we do not know where they are. Scientists have learned to look at the stars that are around the location of the black hole. Stars will act different when there is a black hole near them. Black holes are formed when the radiation of the star dies out. When the star dies out, it

Introduction- the Evidence and Explanation of Black Holes In order for there to even be a chance of a formation of a stellar black hole(one of the largest types of black holes), a supermassive star must be present. The definition of a supermassive star is a star with a mass more than 50 times the mass of the sun(Dictionary.com), which is approximately 9.9455 x (10 to the power of 31) kilograms, and that's only the minimum needed for a stellar black hole.

Down the Rabbit Hole Boys journey to becoming a man “One of the signs of passing youth, is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them” (Virginia Wolfe).
