Black Hole analysis

Michael Finkel does an amazing job in “Black Holes” mainly due to his point of view or his take on black holes. He centers his information on what the famous theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, thought about black holes. Finkel states in the article that although Einstein knew that black holes where a possibility he could not imagine the world producing such a thing.  This sort of grabs the reader’s attention because it was one of the few things that Einstein was wrong about. Now several years later tons of scientific facts have proven that they do in fact exist. A majority of scientists never wanted to claim this because of Einstein’s opinion. That perspective is what helps engage the audience to keep reading it ,while still being able to be factual and portray all of the facts by using Huxley’s 3 directions. At the beginning, he used Einstein as a historical reference that everyone would be able to understand. Then he goes more personal into what it would feel like as an outside observer to experience getting to slip into this black hole. This was one of the most interesting parts because you could picture yourself getting pulled into the black hole and getting ripped apart, yet it was all very factual. I was still able to learn all of the elements that goes into producing and getting into one of them. From this article, I took away not only a ton of information about black holes, but different techniques I could use on my next essay. The most important tip was probably to get the audience involved somehow whether it be putting them into the shoes of someone experiencing whatever I am writing about or by giving them real world examples. Either way I would probably need to do it in a fun and factual way like when he said that some physicists called getting ripped apart in a black hole call it getting “spaghettified”. I also really liked how he kind of did subheadings by bolding important phrases of a paragraph, this made it a lot easier to keep track of the article.
