• Pauli Exclusion Principle: 
No two electrons can occupy the same position in space 
• Electron Degeneracy Pressure :- Electrons are packed 
side by side in a white dwarf This prevents it from

side by side in a Neutron Star This prevents it from

Singularity Theorem 
• Every black hole must have a singularity 
inside itself 
• There is no existence of a naked 
singularly in the universe
Naked Singularity 
Roger Penrose 
(b1931) 
A singularity that is not inside a black 
hole (not 
surrounded by an event horizon), and 
therefore 
can be seen by someone outside it

Black Hole Dynamics 
• First Law 
• Second Law 
• Third Law
First Law 
• If a body with a fixed mass and angular 
momentum is fall into a black hole then 
the mass and angular momentum of the 
black hole increases that much. 
• Resembles with the First law of 
thermodynamics 
• Energy conservation theorem
Second Law 
• The surface area of a black hole is not 
reduced in any process 
• If two black holes combined then the 
resultant surface area is greater than the 
sum of surface areas of each black 
holes. 
• Surface area ->Entropy 
• We cannot reduce the entropy of a 
system.
Third Law 
• The surface gravity of a black hole is 
never become zero. 
• Resumbles to third law in 
thermodynamics 
• We cannot reduce the temp: to absolute 
zero.
Virtual Particles 
•In quantum theory, there is an intrinsic uncertainty 
in energy and time: DE Dt ≥ h/4p 
•This implies the existence of ‘virtual particles’ 
even in a vacuum 
•Virtual particles appear in pairs, consisting of a 
particle and its corres-ponding antiparticle
Hawking Radiation 
Stephen W. Hawking 
(b1942) 
• One partner of a virtual-particle 
pair could fall into a black hole, 
carrying negative energy with it 
• Effectively, the black hole appears 
to be emitting particles and losing 
mass!
But this effect is very tiny 
for normal black holes 
• For a solar mass black hole 
– Temperature = 10-7 K 
– Lifetime = 1067 years 
(age of universe = 1010 years) 
• Since T µ 1/M, this effect is more 
pronounced for small black holes 
• Mini black holes created during 
the Big Bang?

• Closed Universe 
– Mu <Critical Mass 
– Universe started Contracting after a particular time 
• Flat Universe 
– Mu = Critical Mass 
– Expansion rate of universe become constant 
• Open Universe 
– Mu > Critical Mass 
– Expansion rate increases with time

that. Lemaither

Big Bang Theory Proofs 
• Background Radiation 
• Large Scale of universe 
• Distribution of Galaxies
Other Theories 
• Stedy State Theory 
• Inflation Theory 
• Big Crunch Theory 
• Oscillatory state Theory
Will the Universe 
Recollapse? 
• Gravitational pull of the galaxies on each other 
is slowing down the rate of expansion 
• Required density for the universe to 
recollapse is 4.5 x 10-30 g/cm3 
• Observed density of luminous material 
(stars, galaxies) is about 3 x 10-31 g/cm3
Dark Matter 
• But there may be about 10 
times this amount 
in the form of ‘dark matter’ 
• So the universe is very 
close to the threshold 
for recollapse! 
Measurements of the velocities of stars in 
a galaxy show that there must be more 
matter in the galaxy than is apparent. 
This ‘dark matter’ is known to form an 
invisible halo around the galaxy
Gravitational Waves 
• The Variations in space-time (When 
body Accelerated) causes 
Gravitational Waves. 
• Speed of Wave = C 
• Large gravity related Phenomena 
• Supernova, Black Holes etc…
Gravitational Wave Detector 
• When GW passing through a body it 
will expands the body in that 
direction and contracts in opposite 
direction by measuring this we can 
detect GW.
LIGO 
• The Laser Interferometer 
Gravitational-Wave 
Observatory Caltech.
Forces of Nature 
• Gravitational 
• Electromagnetic 
• Weak 
• Strong
Standard Model - Quarks 
• 6 Quarks 
[up,down,top,bottom,strange,charm] 
• Gluons – Exchange Particles 
• Super Symmetry
Graviton 
• Exchange Particle for Gravity
Unification of the Four Forces 
• Electricity + Magnetism 
= Electromagnetism 
• Electromagnetism + Weak 
= Electroweak 
• Electroweak + Strong 
= Grand Unified Theory 
(GUT) 
• GUT + Gravity 
= Theory of Everything 
(TOE)??
Gravity 
• Due to geometry rather than exchange of 
particles 
• Remains impossible to incorporate within 
the framework of quantum field theory 
like the other forces
Quantum Gravity? 
• Does space-time fluctuate in 
a quantum fashion at very 
small scales? 
• Called space-time foam 
• How to describe this 
mathematically?
Superstring Theory 
• Best candidate for a TOE is superstring theory 
• Assumes all fundamental 
particles are actually 
string-like objects rather 
than point-like objects 
• Different particles correspond to different 
vibrational modes of the same string
Point particles and 
strings 
interact differently
Extra Dimensions? 
• Superstring theory 
predicts that space-time 
is 10-dimensional (9 space + 1 
time) 
• The extra 6 dimensions 
are thought to 
be rolled up to a very 
small size
Unsolved Problems 
• Why Gravity happens? 
• No – Graviton in Standard Model 
• Dark Mater
