[|Black holes] are huge holes in space that suck in anything that passes it. Black holes are made from stars collapsing in on itself, which causes a supernova. It sucks in stars, matter, radiation and visible light. They're packed so densely with matter that nothing can escape. Black holes have a huge gravitational pull that pulls everything that towards its' center, causing everything to pull towards it. Black holes can no be seen unless it interacts with matter. Sucking in a star would cause it to be seen. Stars are made up of gas, when the gas spirals inward, it heats up to a high temperature and a large amount of light. No one has gotten close enough to take pictures of black holes, only x-rayed them.

One theory about black holes are that they lead into a [|white holes]. Black holes pull things in through it's gravitational pull and white holes spit them out. Some scientists believe that if you enter a black hole, you will come out of a white hole; when that happens, it is called going through a [|wormhole]. No one knows where a wormhole may lead, it may lead you far away from where you entered the black hole, or it could lead you to a different universe. Some wormholes are convenient enough that they could lead you far distances or even to another galaxy. Some scientists say that they could lead you into the past or even into the future. However, if a star did collapse in on itself, it would not form a wormhole. Of course, I'm probably going out on a limb saying this, I think that if wormholes weren't formed by stars then they would have been formed by some huge explosion tearing at space. In other words, space is like a huge blanket, and something tore at the blanket, forming a wormhole.

Wormholes may exist, but nothing could pass through them. They are unstable, so if matter went through them the 'throat' of the wormhole would break. If you did get through, there would be no guarantees that it could hold you, it could snap shut on you.

Scientists think that a wormhole would basically look like this:

In my opinion, I do believe that black holes are wormholes. No one has ever really figured out what would happen if you went into a black hole. One can really only use their imagination as to what's in a black hole and what could happen.
