develop a 1-page proposal explaining your topic and areas of focus. Your research proposal should include the following:

a short paragraph that introduces your topic
an explanation of the reason this topic interests you
an explanation of the research questions you plan to address in your research paper
an explanation of potential additional topics you identified that relate to your main topic
preliminary ideas about potential sources you will use to gather information

black holes

main question: How are black holes created?
5-10 other questions:
how does fusion work?
diferent ways black holes are made?
What are the different types of black holes?
What is the event horizon?
Can black holes collide with each other?
How do astronomers detect black holes in space?
Is it possible for a black hole to evaporate over time due to Hawking radiation?

Black holes have been a topic of fascination and mystery for scientists and the general public for decades. As one of the most enigmatic and powerful forces in the universe, understanding how black holes are created is a fundamental question in astrophysics.

The reason this topic interests me is because of the sheer magnitude of black holes and their ability to warp space and time. The concept of something so massive that not even light can escape its gravitational pull is both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

In my research paper, I plan to address the following research questions:
- How are black holes created?
- How does fusion work?
- What are the different ways black holes are made?
- What are the different types of black holes?
- What is the event horizon?
- Can black holes collide with each other?
- How do astronomers detect black holes in space?
- Is it possible for a black hole to evaporate over time due to Hawking radiation?

In addition to these main research questions, I have also identified potential additional topics that relate to black holes such as the theories of general relativity, the concept of black hole mergers, and the role of black holes in galaxy evolution.

To gather information for my research paper, I plan to utilize a variety of sources including scientific journals, books on astrophysics, articles from reputable websites such as NASA's website, and interviews with astronomers and scientists who have studied black holes. Additionally, I will explore databases such as arXiv and Google Scholar to access the latest research and studies on black holes.
