Right here, right now, in your very next comment, without openning any new tabs or resources you must try and explain 'black holes' to the best of your knowledge. Just do it!
They're formed from a star that's died, and forms an exponential hole (extreme bend?) in the space-time continuum. They're places of extreme energy, and suck in energy and matter. If you went into one, in theory you'd split into two instances, one dead and one alive where you'd keep falling for the rest of eternity (supposing the whole was wide enough), keeping on accelerating. There's a theory that says that matter can't be copied, but since no-one from the outside would see that you lived (they'd just see the dead you that was burnt and stuff) no-one would see both copies, and therefore it would be acceptable.
They're so scary though, aren't they :O
This is from memory from an article I read last year on the BBC.
They have a singularity/are a singularity (?)
And I heard you get spagettified if you fall into one.
And time is different there but I can't remember how.
Oh and it has a very strong gravity so like, nothing including light can escape out of it.
From what I recall they're mostly like vacuums? In a game/space simulator I have, black holes pretty much pull things in and shoot it far off out the other side at an extreme speed.
