There are many things in space. There are planets, suns, stars, other galaxies, satellites, black holes and more. But black holes, they're black, and in space it is black, so are there any black holes?

Many people wonder how a black hole starts, well the answer is. When the star dies all the mass and material collapses inside packing most of the stars mass into a pinpoint. Black holes are so powerful that nothing can escape. Not even light, so how do we see these black holes in a place full of darkness. The gravitational pull is so strong that you can't orbit it. If you tried to orbit it will suck you into the center. Since the gravitational pull is so strong nothing can destroy these holes, so they live forever. Scince the [|gravity] is so strong it is thirty times heavier than than the sun.

To me, in my agree with the statement, there are black holes. Because in science research they claimed that they discovered 14 black holes already. So if there are no black holes how can 14 black holes already been discovered. The closest black hole is 8000 light years away from us. No one really knows whats inside a black hole. We don't know whats inside because no one could survive in a black hole. And the second thing is if we sent powerful signals to a black hole, the signals would be ripped apart from the strong gravitational pull. So even though there are no proof of black holes I personally think there are black holes. Because the fact that there are already 14 discovered.

So what will happen if you get sucked into a black hole? Well no one really knows what would happen. There are a couple of really good guesses tho. One of them is you you get crushed by the gravitational pull. The other guess is you will end up in another galaxy. The last guess is if the earth was sucked into one the earth would be just dark and really cold. What I think is the theory you would get crushed if you were to be sucked into a black hole is true. Because as your getting closer to a black hole you will slowly turn into a spageti shape. Also they allready said that if something landed on Jupiter, it will be crushed because of the gravity. So I strongly believe that you will get crushed if you get into one. But I dont believe that you will come out into a new galaxy if you get sucked into a black hole. To me I do not agree with that at all. Because if that does happen it would be similar to a worm hole. But scientist say that black holes are not worm holes at all so I do not agree with it. The last theory is if the earth was in one it would be just dark and cold. If the earth was to be sucked into one it would be like a human into one. We would be crushed right away. So the only statement I believe in is the statement:You will be crushed by the gravitational pull.
