The Royal Swedish Academy of Science said Tuesday it would give half of the $ 1.1 million prize to Roger Pen-rose of Britain's University of Oxford , ____1____(add) that he had used mathematics to prove that black holes were a direct result of "Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity." Germany's Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez of the United States will share the other half of the physics prize. The academy honored the two scientists "____2____the discovery of a super-massive compact object at the center of our galaxy." That object was a large black hole. The physics prize celebrates ____3____the Nobel Committee called "one of the most exotic objects in the universe." Galaxies are huge systems that contain billions of stars. Black holes might exist at the center of every galaxy. Nothing, not even light, ____4____escape their gravity. Time comes to a stop ____5____it gets closer. Roger Pen-rose proved that the formation of black holes was possible. His work ____6____(base) heavily on Einstein's general theory of relativity.
