re: Someone Explain to me what a Black Hole is..

Hmm I'll try... everything that ever has been, is affected by gravity. Bigger things have more effect than smaller things. And black holes are where all the monsters live

I think a 5 year old may have more important things to worry about than relativity. i.e. naptime, cooties etc


The question in a sense asks to explain the cause of gravity, of which there is currently no widely accepted theory. Not to say Bro's question is unanswerable; Einstein was tasked with summing up his theory into one sentence:

"Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. (Albert Einstein)"

Chew on that one.
