The answer to what a black hole is all about can be found right here on earth. We have all seen a whirpool in a tidal current. If one were to be sucked into that whirlpool without proper scuba one would die and be displaced in another part of the ocean ( maybe 20' feet away ) but in any event displaced. A black hole is the same principle, but on a larger scale. A human entering a black hole with the proper equipment ( something like scuba? or a spacecraft? ) will be displaced on the other side of the universe. Very simple to figure out. Comments?

Black Holes are gateways to other parts of the universe. The creator put those there because " IT " knew we would need them... Just like " IT " put the Aluminum in the ground. " IT " knew we would eventually need it. SIMPLE STUFF HERE FOLKS!

i think people are confusing the model of a black hole for how a real one would actually be. there is no top to a black hole, like a funnel or whirlpool, these are just models to help explain the idea. in reality you could enter a black hole from any angle. think of a black hole as a ball reaching out in all directions. this takes a little more effort to get your mind wrapped around it because in our everyday lives things like a pit happen with a top and a bottom. imagining a "pit" in space with no top or bottom is not something easily visualized.

No, not really. It's much more complex than that. A black hole is so hugely small it amazing! It is a GIANT star, like a million times the size of ours, That condensed. The gravitational pull of it was so strong it pulled all of it's body into an atom. Now this is somewhere betwen 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms. Imagine trying to smush that many cookies into the size of a single cookie. Seems supernatural, right? Anyways the gravitational pull gets so strong it creates this black field around it. This black field is literally nothing. The black hole itself is the size of an atom, but the field can stretch for lightyears. You see, this field is the point of no return. We see things by light bouncing off of things and heading back to our eye. Now, when light heads toward it, the gravitational pull is so strong that the escape velocity (how fast you have to got to get away) is faster than the speed of light, which is impossible to exceed. Then even light get's sucked into an atoms width. Now, in a whirlpool, you will just drown and get tossed away. But in a black whole, if it somehow dispersed and someone got your atoms back, they would be so warped and disfigured, all the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put you back together again. But the thing is, it doesn't disperse! The atoms don't go to the other side of the universe, the stay in the same place! Black holes are neither simple nor easy to figure out. We STILL don't know everything about them.

Other than the fact that the whirlpool and the black hole both pull you toward their center, I don't see much in common between them.

There is no evidence (or theory that I know of) that a black hole will displace you to the other side of the universe, or anywhere else. As far as I'm aware, the predicted effect of falling into a black hole is just that your mass will make the hole a little bigger and heavier.

A black hole does not mimic anything else. It does not know how to mimic. It is not intelligent. It is similar to a whirlpool on Earth, though.

A whirlpool forms in the 2D surface of the water, curving it into the third dimension. A black hole curves 3D space into a fourth dimension.

There are major differences, however. A whirlpool does not affect light, whereas a black hole can trap light. A whirlpool does not create gravitational tides. When you get sufficiently close to a black hole, the parts of your body closest to the black hole will have a larger gravitational force on them than the parts of your body further out, and eventually, you will be ripped apart.

well the difference is that, if you enter a black hole directly from the top you will die and your body will end up in a different universe, never seen that done in a whirlpool. also sometimes you will become park of the blaack hole, being conensed into a singularity. not going to happen in a whirlpool. and whirpools start because of currents, blackholes start because the core of a star implodes due to excessive gravity.

Hebrews 11:1-30 1 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. 2 For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them. In other words: the assurance that what you want to be true, will be true, and you demonstrate your assurance in your speech and actions, even though you have no evidence. I believe you misunderstood the "evident demonstration of realities" part. The scripture says "Faith = assured expectation" and "Faith = evident demonstration". So the assurance is of the person who has faith, and the demonstration is the by the person with the faith. Take it however you want. For thousands of years people have used "God did it" to compensate for their lack of understanding of the natural universe. As scientific discoveries accumulate, the tendency to rely on such reasoning reduces, or changes. For instance, some people believe in God, but disagree that mankind is 6000 years young, or that there was a global flood 4000 years ago, in which every animal that lives today migrated to a giant boat, and then spread out to populate the world again. Yet religious organizations persists in discouraging members to challenge these doctrines under the threat of either hell or eternal destruction. So no you are not stupid for believing in black holes in planets. But accepting that doesn't necessarily require you to adhere to a particular lifestyle to meet the approval of black holes and planets now does it? You have little incentive to seek verification, or question it, as it likely has little impact on your day to day life (unless you were an astronomer or an astrophysicist, then you absolutely want to verify those claims) Most religious organizations perceive scientific discovery as a threat because it reduces reliance on the "God did it" argument. So they scramble to come up with arguments against evolution, or to debunk archaeological and anthropological findings, or to dispute carbon dating methods etc etc. Religious organizations are becoming irrelevant in answering the big questions, and they are going down swinging.

.............

A black hole is a star of so big mass (and small volume) that it pulls the light into it with its enormus gravity (that's why it's black, because it doesn't reflect light
