Pulsars and black holes..
Neutron stars are the remains of exploded stars. As more matter falls into a neutron star, its mass and gravity increases. Ultimately, a point will be reached where gravity would grow so much that not even light will escape it, thus a black hole forms.
Most neutron stars discovered today are in the form of radio pulsars. They are called radio pulsars because they emit radio waves. These radio waves (pulsars) can be detected and heard by simply connecting a radio telescope to a loud speaker. Pulsars sound like someone is continuously knocking. In other words, we can hear a pulsar knock. And if matter continues to fall into this pulsar, a black hole will eventually form.
Muslims believe that this is what Allah says in the Quran. The Quran describes a star by "The one who knocks" and, that it is "The one who makes a hole".
Allah says in Quran:
"By the heaven and the "Knocker" (tariq in Arabic) How could you know about the "Knocker"? The piercing star (thaqib in Arabic)]"
(Quran 86:1-3)
The Arabic word "Thukb" means a hole; "thaqib" means the one who makes the hole. The Quran is describing a knocking star that makes a hole.
Ty to hear the sound of a pulsar..isnt it a knocking star?
