The result of the collapse of a star to a point where the density is so high that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Thus nothing, not even light, can escape from it.

When a very large star (8 times larger than our sun and larger) runs out of fuel, the force keeping the star "inflated" is removed, and it collapses. This creates a huge overpressure, and an explosion - a supernova. This explosion blows off a lot of stellar material away from the star, and compresses the core. The core can be compressed to the point that the electrons and protons in the atoms are crushed together, creating a mass of nothing but neutrons. The result is a neutron star. And, if the explosion is strong enough, the core can continue collapsing until it's nothing but a dimensionless point - this is a black hole.

Is an infinite concentration of the mass and energy in a point. Is a 'place' without space and time. Is a singularity out of the understanding of the mind.

It's the result of the death of a star, it's cold and it sucks you in.
