All answers written down to you may be considered correct and sensible. I will not answer you in any different way, but I will try to explain to you what and how I understand a black hole is like. This will make you wonder a little; have patient and let me put it to you in most understandable manner. Before I do this, I want you to refer to basic chemistry and what the elements of the Universe are made of: The hydrogen being the first in the periodic table has one electron and one proton and one neutron. Every body knows that, because we were taught the elements in Hi School, and this information is elementary to all. Now what comes next in the table is Helium which has two electrons, and then you start going up scale by counting more electrons and more protons and more neutrons. What makes an element different from another element is how much electrons and protons and neutrons it has. Uranium has 238 protons and 238 electrons, which make it different than Iron which has 55 electron and so forth. I won't go deeper than this preliminary information in chemistry which is prerequisite to understand my answer for your question. When a giant sun has consumed all it hydrogen and start to collapse, instead of exploding in space like a Nova, it collapses on itself and becomes a neutron star; a neutron star like the companion of Sirius. It is a dead sun that has collapsed and because of the immense matter and hence gravitational field that it has due to its collapse, its diameter becomes few thousand miles, and its gravitational field becomes millions fold or millions more than it was before when its diameter was perhaps one million miles. A neutron star as such becomes so condensed by forcing all the electrons that orbits the nucleus be released out of the the atoms and becomes so much packed with neutrons and protons inside the nucleus and hence the name neutron star.

Now the different between a black hole and a neutron star is that a sun that was much larger than the sun which I have described here above consumed all its fuel and collapsed upon itself forming a black hole. The difference between a black hole and a neutron star is black hole is a neutron star that does not stop from collapsing upon itself but continues to experience a ceaseless collapse progressively and thus the name singularity. Now a black hole formed as described start to swallow every matter close to it resulting an in increase in it density which perhaps at this stage has reached billion of kilograms per cubic centimeter. As the black whole eats up the surrounding matter that exist in its space, its density becomes so great that the escape velocity of its surface exceeds the speed of light and therefore any light that passes near to it is also swallowed and becomes part of its collapsing and increasing matter. This situation continues to occur resulting in further and further shrinkage of the black hole diameter, and consequently further and further increase in its density. Some of the very old black holes have reached a stage that the diameter it has becomes perhaps less than the tip of a pin. Never the less, the process of shrinkage is not complete yet, and the process of the size and the diameter and the density of the black hole continues: The size of the black hole decrease more and more; the density increase more and more; and the gravity increases tremendously more and more to the point it starts to swallow stars that are far away in distance; the result of which is lesser diameter of the black hole and greater density and greater gravity. At this point, I want to look at this black hole that has negligible space say (almost zero diameter) and much more than tremendous gravity; all is left is space with gravity that exceeds any gravity known to man. The end of this story is that you have your own imagination; use it to however you wish and tell us what exist at the other side of a black hole!!!!

My own theory: a white hole. That is, the black hole is a singularity, and that singularity acts like a string of pure energy going into the black hole and out the other side, funnel or tunnel like, in a white hole. And perhaps that's what all the stars are. Or perhaps that's what creates galaxies, depending on the scale.

I am not a scientist, I am a philosophy major and science fiction fan who became a legal secretary and a witch. Make of my theory what you will.

A blockhole isn't really a whole
Its just an enourmous mass that has a strong gravitational pull thats strong enought to attract light to it. Inside a black hole is just a singularity of mass. Imagine it as a round thing thats many times heavier than our sun which attracts light and matter to it. THats wh it also looks black or it cant be seen

A black hole isn't actually a hole which has another side, but is rather an area with such a massive gravitation that even light that passes within its gravitation is pulled to it. I would imagine that that kind of gravitation would tend to destroy and break down physical matter that was drawn into it.

Black hole is hole with no end. Their is no end of this. It have very high power to pull any thing pass near it. Even light who have 300000km/s it is also get in that hole. Their is no one who can prove actully what is inside it. But one assumption is about back hole is that any thing goes inside is get distroyed.

Because no one can see into the event horizon no one knows what is on the other side or if there is anything at all. Until we can see beyond the event horizon any answer that anyone gives is theoretical.

black hole ends @ singularity. a point in space-time where all matter is infinitely dense and is infinitely compressed into nothingness.(0 volume)

If atleast light goes near by it does'nt let it go ,that is it has large gravity so that no one can come out of it so no body knows the other side of it

a truly static place-no time as we measure it-everything is everlasting and in the future at the present moment--you'll see in 2012-remember this
