Abstract

Trends in the behaviors of a particle near a black hole on a quantum scale remains largely unspecified in the field of astrophysics. Their nature and application are a topic of ongoing research and debate. Simulating different variables of a particle as it nears a black hole (i.e. radial position, polar angle, azimuthal momentum) can reveal significant relationships in the data. However, due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle – which states that we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or electron, with perfect accuracy – the radial position and the momentum of the simulated particle cannot be simultaneously determined in the presence of a genuine black hole at a quantum level. Keeping this limit in mind, the resulting values and trends for both radial, polar, and azimuthal momentums and radial position as a function of time are individually analyzed within the scope of this simulation and used to establish general experimental concepts able to be broadly applied, filling in knowledge gaps in the realm of theoretical physics.
