how would you describe the concept of a "black hole"?
user
a black hole is an incredibly dense region of space, created when a star collapses in upon itself due to its own gravity. because the star is so dense, nothing can escape it, not even light, which is why it creates a "black hole" in space. the gravity within a black hole is so strong, anything near it, including stars, planets and even entire galaxies, are pulled in and eventually consumed.
