YET another YETI

The ancient hindu scriptutres ..Ramayana ,Mahabharata mentioned about this yet mythical creature vividly long back (Hindu Religion is more than 5000 years old ) ..so does the jain texts and so does the folklore (tagged so by western media till date ) of Nepal ,India and Tibet . Itz called by different names .In the forests and plains of Siberia and China these are called Alma ,Sasquatch in South America seems to be the half brother of YETI in Asia and why to forget Yowie in Australia .

YETI is not discovered and we are still clueless but this is my views on it.
YETI might be a gigantic snowman /ape .We can find that evry species we see ,today has or had a giant look alike .Like tigers for cats ,mammoth for elephants , Neanderthals for human, Dinosaurs for Lizards ,so why not YETI for apes ?
Well some proof /counter proof of it now .....

• In 1889, a British army major named L. A. Waddell found large footprints in the snow in northeastern Himalayas.

• In 1925, an expedition led by a Greek photographer N. A. Tombazi noticed a human-like creature about 300 yards away. The creature disappeared before Tombazi could take a picture.
  
• In 1951, an expedition found a track on the Menlung Glacier between Tibet and Nepal, at an altitude of 6000 meters. The footprints they saw were 33 cm by 45 cm and were made by a foot which has 5 toes of which the inner toes were larger than the others. The heel was flat and exceptionally broad. The track itself appeared to be fresh so the footprints were not enlarged by melting snow. This was clearly shown by the many photographs they took. Although there were many doubts about these photographs, if they were believed to be true at all. But those who did belief were certain that was not made by any known animal.

• British mountaineers Eric Shipton and Michael Ward took some of the best pictures of "the footprints of the Yeti" in 1951. Each footprint were thirteen to eighteen inches long.

• In another expedition by Sir Edmund Hillary, the first ever to climb the Mount Everest. He funded this expedition himself, for he and his guide Tenzing Norgay had seen footprints of a Yeti on a previous expedition. Unfortunately, his expedition was as unsuccessful as those who had gone before. However, he brought back with him a borrowed artifact: the upper half of the skull of a Yeti. This scalp came from the Khumjung Gompa (monastery) in Nepal where it is kept as a relic. It is some 300 years old, 20 cm high and has a circumference of 65 cm. Scientists said it belonged to a serow (mountain goat) which lives in eastern Asia.

The theory that YETI exists ,is confined mainly to finding of skulls ,footprints ,hairs,and foolklore or reports during expeditions or rarely by some sections of press This got a SCIENTIFIC support in 1954 when Dutch zoologist Bernard Huevelmans put forward the theory of Gigantopithecus,in Paris. Gigantopithecus is an ancestor of the giant ape, first identified in the fossil record by Dutch paleontologist Ralph von Koenigswald (or von Koenigwald) when he found a tooth in a Chinese apothecary shop in 1934 that he believed belonged to a giant ape tall that lived around half a million years ago.Bernard stated that Gigantopithecus, unable to compete with anatomically modern humans, took to remote mountainous regions to survive and that it is a modern descendant of the huge ape-like creatures that are now called Yeti. Unfortunately for this theory, Gigantopithecus doesn't match the average reported height of Yetis'; Yetis average five feet tall, while the Gigantopithecus theoretically averages eight to ten feet

Black hole

History of Black hole

The concept of an object from which light could not escape (e.g., black hole) was originally proposed by Pierre Simon Laplace in 1795. Using Newton's Theory of Gravity, Laplace calculated that if an object were compressed into a small enough radius, then the escape velocity of that object would be faster than the speed of light

Detect the Black Hole

There are many black holes scattered across the universe and the "reputed " astrononmical institutes have reported to have detected them ...
This report is from NASA

Using NASA's the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite, the scientists claim to have seen space being warped, as expected. They detected bright hotspots in small regions of an energetic disk of material that swirls into the black hole, approaches the speed of light, and is superheated.

The Black Holes are scattered across the universe ..reports of it being seen in other universe was cited by astronomers
The new research looked at a galaxy called NGC 3516, which is thought to harbor a supermassive black hole in its core, which contains the mass of billions of Suns. Gas in this central region glows in X-ray radiation as it is heated to temperatures in the millions of degrees under the force of the black hole's extreme gravity.


The Making of a Black Hole

Black holes are thought to form from stars or other massive objects if and when they collapse from their own gravity to form an object whose density is infinite: in other words, a singularity. During most of a star's lifetime, nuclear fusion in the core generates electromagnetic radiation, including photons, the particles of light. This radiation exerts an outward pressure that exactly balances the inward pull of gravity caused by the star's mass.
As the nuclear fuel is exhausted, the outward forces of radiation diminish, allowing the gravitation to compress the star inward. The contraction of the core causes its temperature to rise and allows remaining nuclear material to be used as fuel. The star is saved from further collapse -- but only for a while.
Eventually, all possible nuclear fuel is used up and the core collapses. How far it collapses, into what kind of object, and at what rate, is determined by the star's final mass and the remaining outward pressure that the burnt-up nuclear residue (largely iron) can muster. If the star is sufficiently massive or compressible, it may collapse to a black hole. If it is less massive or made of stiffer material, its fate is different: it may become a white dwarf or a neutron star.

Black Holes The Good ,The Bad ..and the Ugly ...

They are not in our good Books
coz it sucks evrything in its vicinity.The gravity of a black hole is the same as the gravity of a star with the same mass. For instance, if the sun suddenly became a black hole (couldn't happen, but just for instance), Earth would continue to orbit the black sun as usual. The danger is that if you get too close to the black hole, like only a few miles away, the gravity would be extremely strong and it would be hard to escape.

This bring us to another intersting question

How close can something get to a black hole before it is sucked in? Could it suck in another black hole?

That depends on how much matter has been pulled into the black hole. The more matter, the stronger the gravity (just like everything else). It also depends on how something is moving near the hole. A planet could be in orbit around the black hole and not be pulled in. For instance, suppose the sun suddenly became a black hole (couldn't happen, but just suppose). It has the same amount of matter, so it has the same gravity. All the planets would continue to orbit it. It just would get pretty dark!!!
If a black hole were inside a cloud of gas, the gas near it would probably be pulled in. Well, since the hole then has more matter, it has more gravity. So it can pull in more gas. More gas, more gravity. Or maybe it's in a cluster of stars and some stars fall in. The hole could start growing. If there were a smaller black hole nearby, it could get pulled in too.
