Black holes have been around since the begining of the Universe. We do not know a lot of facts about Black Holes, but we do happen to know a few of the important things about Black Holes, and there are still a lot of questions about them. What are Black Holes? Black holes are the evolutionary endpoint of stars, and they are ten to fifteen times as massive as the sun. A Black Hole is a star that has its density maxed out. Black Holes have a tendency to suck in all matter that gets close to it, including light. The reason is because a Black Hole has a immense gravitational force because of its great mass. Once the object has been sucked into the Black Hole it is trapped, because it can not break the gravitational force. Black Holes are very hard to see, sence they are only a few tens of Kilometers in size. When a Black Hole passes through a cloud of insteller matter, or gets closer to another star, the Black Hole pulls the matter into it. As the matter is pulled into the Black Hole, it gains Kinetic energy, which is the heated up and squeezed by many forces. When the atoms are finished heating up to a few million degrees, The X-ray's sent off into space can be seen before the matter crosses the Schwarzchild radius. Finally we are able to see the Black hole.

For example, the media and the public belieave that a Black Hole is like a Worm Hole, but with a different name. I disagree with the idea because it is impossible. My opinion is a Black Hole is made up of mass, that is why it pulls things in. It could not be a Worm Hole because if there was an exit to a Black Hole, you would not be able to escape the big force of matter that is between the entrence and exit. A worm hole has to do with time and space, a worm hole has no mass to pull you in. To get in a worm hole you would have to fly right into it, and since there is no mass in the middle between the entrance and the exit, you will make it through in one piece, but end up in another place and time. Black Holes could possibly have an entrance and an exit, but with all that mass it is impossible to make it to the other side.
