Black holes are parts of outer space that use the force of gravity to pull objects toward it. The power of the gravity makes it impossible for anything that is sucked deep … Keep Reading → enough into a black hole to escape. There is an area, called a horizon, beyond which it is impossible to escape from a black hole. The center point, or singularity, is the area with the greatest gravitational force. The Theory of Relativity, by Albert Einstein is often cited as helping in the understanding of black holes. Einstein’s explanation of how gravity works is considered central to the concept of black holes. Black holes are thought to exist but cannot be seen because no light can escape.
