Black holes are mysterious objects from "summary" of A Brief History of Time by Stephen W. Hawking
Black holes are perhaps the most mysterious objects in the universe. They are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. This fact alone makes them intriguing and challenging to understand. One of the key characteristics of black holes is their immense gravitational force. This force is so strong that it distorts space and time around the black hole, creating what is known as a singularity at the center. The singularity is a point of infinite density and zero volume, where the laws of physics as we know them break down. Another fascinating aspect of black holes is their event horizon, which is the point of no return. Once an object crosses the event horizon, it is destined to fall into the black hole and can never ...
