The little robot, black holes, and spaghettification
Jorge Pinochet
The tidal forces generated by a black hole can be so powerful that they cause unlimited stretching, known as spaghettification. A detailed analysis of this phenomenon requires the…
Three easy ways to the Hawking temperature
Jorge Pinochet
In this work, three heuristic derivations of the Hawking temperature are presented. The main characteristic of these derivations is their extreme simplicity, which makes them easil…
Graphic relation between amplitude and sound intensity level
Jorge Pinochet
We present a simple experiment that allows us to demonstrate graphically that the intensity of sound waves is proportional to the square of their amplitude, a result that is theore…
Classical Tests of General Relativity Part II: Looking to the Past to Understand the Present
Jorge Pinochet
The objective of this second part of the work is to present heuristic derivations of the three classical tests of general relativity. These derivations are based on the Einstein eq…
Classical Tests of General Relativity Part I: Looking to the Past to Understand the Present
Jorge Pinochet
Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR) provides the best available description of gravity. The recent detection of gravitational waves and the first picture of a black hole h…
Hawking for beginners: A dimensional analysis activity to perform in the classroom
Jorge Pinochet
In this paper we present a simple dimensional analysis exercise that allows us to derive the equation for the Hawking temperature of a black hole. The exercise is intended for high…
