Of course there are millions of theories out there.
But I've always been interested in knowing what people think it is.
No for the sake of actually finding out what it is (though that would be sweet) but just for the variations.
So, what do you think it is, and why?

To me, a black is a mysterious place where secrets can be found.

according to stephen hawking (and i assume this theory to be the most correct) a black hole is the end of stellar evolution (when a star dies).
Then the star starts to collapse. All the material that makes up the star falls to the center and that part becomes a million times denser than any other object on earth. since the gravity of such a dense object is quite high, the escape velocity (or the speed required for an object to escape the black hole altogether) of the black hole is even higher than the velocity of light.
since man does not know anything that travels faster than light, man has assumed that it is absolutely impossible to escape a black hole. if light and other electromagnetic radiation itself can't escape, how would, say, a man, who accidentally fell into a black hole, escape???

The Black Hole is found in the center of every Galaxy. It is though that it could be the seed of a Galaxy where Galaxies start from. A Black Hole is formed when a star goes Super Nova. If the Black Hole can suck in enough material it then might be able to start a new Galaxy. Our own Milky-way has a Black Hole at the center.... Good Luck

A black hole is a region of space whose gravitational force is so strong that nothing can escape from it. A black hole is invisible because it even traps light. The fundamental descriptions of black holes are based on equations in the theory of general relativity

Extreme gravitational pull that distorts space, (even though it is empty, it is made of something that allows energy and solid forms to exist in it, and is made of grids like anything else) and can warp and bend (compression of billions, trillions, or gazillions of space grids) you or other items into transferring many millions of miles of space quickly to the other side where it ends.
I also think it may also possibly be there as a structure that may be filling or completing empty grids that may have not been created yet, and has been there all along to start with, and is the building block of space.
I only think like this when I have been drinking, and destroying the grid cells in my brain. :)

It's just singularity. A point in space where everything ends. But in order to keep balance in the universe, you must have a point where everything begins: A White Hole. Black holes take in everything and white holes spit it all back out again. How, why where when and what these things are, I haven't the faintest clue...

There are not millions of theories.
There is really just the one.
Black holes are not particularly mysterious objects - read up on them.

i think it is a place with infinite gravity and density! it is a living corpse of a massive star that imploded!
