What+is+a+Black+Hole+and+Where+Do+They+Lead+To?

Black Hole (What is it):
 * Region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape from it
 * It is a "black" hole because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon
 * Doesn't Reflect
 * Invisible
 * Form when a massive star ends it's life (when the star blows up)
 * has three independent physical properties: mass, charge, and angular momentum
 * A space "vacuum"

What Happens if You Enter a Black Hole
 * You are lost to "outside" observers
 * Spaghettification (a process of something being stretched and ripped apart by entering a black hole)
 * You enter an alternate universe (an infamous theory)
 * You Die (most believable theory)

Theories: You enter an alternate universe: One of a theories for "what happens if you enter a black hole". Some people believe that if you enter a black hole, you don't die, you just enter an alternate universe. If there was an alternate universe, some people think that it is futuristic earth.This is one of the most unbelievable theories.

You Die: Most people and scientists believe that once you enter a black hole you die. Since you never escape, people believe that you stretch as skinny as a spaghetti (also known as "spaghettification"). Let's paint a picture. You are in your space shuttle. You just see starry space. You keep driving through space and then all of the sudden, you see a spot with no stars. You try to stop your space shuttle but it is too late. The force of the black hole pulls forward and slowly, because of the force, you get spaghettified. Then you die. That is one of the most believable theory.

Questions: Q: Could the Earth be swallowed by a black hole? A: No, the Earth is too heavy to be swallowed by a black hole (The earth weighs: 6,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000 kg). Items that a black hole swallows have to be lighter than 6,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000 kg.

Q: Could the sun turn into a black hole? A: No, the sun is too small to turn into a black hole.
