black holes are one concept that have disturbed me as well...ever since i heard about them the first time in school.i wonder what actually happens to something that moves into a black hole....
according to the general theory of relativity, black hole is a region of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. It is the result of the deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass. Around a black hole there is an undetectable surface which marks the point of no return, called an event horizon. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.Under the theory of quantum mechanics black holes possess a temperature and emit Hawking radiation.
not even light!IMAGINE THAT!
