Are black holes in space for real?

yes, black holes really exit.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

As far as I know, there are only 2 real-life examples of such a process: the Big Bang and a black hole.\n\nThe Big Bang caused 'everything' to expand into 'nothing'. That in itself is an infinitely large expansion; it's like dividing infinity by 1.\n\nA black hole is, in essence, where matter collapses to zero size, thus reaching infinite density and creating a hole in space-time. Little is known about the interior of such black holes, or, indeed, if there is such a concept.

Nope.  Whoever told you this has been watching too much science fiction.\n\nBlack holes are just collapsed stars, and their gravity is no bigger than any other star (except to things that are very close to it).  There are enormous black holes at the center of galaxies, but these don't pose a threat to the majority of the galaxy ... and the earth is way out near the edge of our galaxy.  And there is no black hole even theorized that is big enough to swallow entire galaxies.

unless this is a "zen" question, it doesn't "go" anywhere.  A black hole is a former star that has died and collapsed in upon itself and had its mass "infinitely" compressed into a tiny tiny volume.

Black holes are full of electrons.They are not capable of any expansion or constriction. Time also does not expand.

a black hole is a region of spacetime from which nothing can escape because of gravity, and yes, they exist.  this was not a very detailed answer, but i may write more later.  you can follow the link below.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

No, because a black hole is a collapsed star, and the closest star to us, besides the sun, is thousands of light years away. They also suck in EVERYTHING including light and destroys it.

The mathematics of black holes shows that they might be able to transport you to another region of space or possibly another universe. However, the mathematics also shows that the connection only lasts for a fraction of a second at a time, and that the link to other universes depends on a specific set of conditions which scientists do not believe to exist. Even if it were likely, however, the strong gravity field of the black hole tears apart any material falling into the hole so it would not come out the other end of the Black Hole looking anything like how it went in, so in other words you would  have to really want to make this discovery because you’re going to die trying.

I don't believe it has ever been proven one way or another. The event horizon has never actually been observed. But it would appear by the way the outer arms of a spiral galaxy move in a clockwise direction, the same might hold true for a black hole, but when time itself stops, and gravitation as we know it is warped, anything is possible.

A black hole is defined as a place where light can not escape due to the gravitational force.  The proof that they exist are the equations of gravity and experiments in labritories where miniture black holes have been created that evaporate in nanoseconds.

Their existence has been postulated, but more often in science fiction than in actual science.  Some suggest that quasars (which are extremely bright) are actually white holes, and that white holes are possibly connected to black holes via wormholes.  But white holes seem to violate the second law of thermodynamics, and therefore probably do not exist.

Black holes are a concept in cosmology and theoretical physics.  The idea of going into one doesn't really fit in with the science. \n\nUsing a mechanical model of the universe, black holes are extremely dense concentrations of matter with such a high gravitational force that everything (including light) is sucked in and cannot escape.  If you went near a black hole, you would be broken down into subatomic particles and crammed into the lump of compressed matter at the centre.\n\nHowever, quantum physics gives an alternative theory.  Black holes could be the ways in and out of shortcuts across the universe so that something sucked into one could be spat out of another.  This is probably something best not tried at home.

You don't need a black hole to be able hold itself together through gravity. Just look at the earth or the moon for example. They are nowhere near as dense as a black hole, yet they support themselves gravitationally.

well Black Hole is hole which is created when a star after growing for millions of years erupts. It is created actually due to little gravititional force which the black hole has & it starts acting like a tornado tries to bring everything towards it's centre. it is so powerful that even light cannot escape.\nas u know it forms when a star erupts so it is noemally located in space

I'm not sure I understand the question.  However, newton's laws of gravitation do not describe anything like black holes.  Black holes fall out of Einstein's theories of general relativity.

yes!!\n\nBlack holes are predictions of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. In particular, they occur in the Schwarzschild metric, one of the earliest and simplest solutions to Einstein's equations, found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915. This solution describes the curvature of spacetime in the vicinity of a static and spherically symmetric object, where the metric is\n\n    ds^2 = - c^2 &#92;left( 1 - {2Gm &#92;over c^2 r} &#92;right) dt^2 + &#92;left( 1 - {2Gm &#92;over c^2 r} &#92;right)^{-1} dr^2 + r^2 d&#92;Omega^2,\n\nwhere d&#92;Omega^2 = d&#92;theta^2 + &#92;sin^2&#92;theta&#92;; d&#92;phi^2 is a standard element of solid angle.\n\nAccording to Schwarzschild's solution, a gravitating object will collapse into a black hole if its radius is smaller than a characteristic distance, known as the Schwarzschild radius. Below this radius, spacetime is so strongly curved that any light ray emitted in this region, regardless of the direction in which it is emitted, will travel towards the center of the system. Because relativity forbids anything from travelling faster than light, anything below the Schwarzschild radius – including the constituent particles of the gravitating object – will collapse into the center. A gravitational singularity, a region of theoretically infinite density, forms at this point. Because not even light can escape from within the Schwarzschild radius, a classical black hole would truly appear black.\n\nThe Schwarzschild radius is given by\n\n    r_s = {2&#92;,Gm &#92;over c^2}\n\nwhere G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the object, and c is the speed of light. For an object with the mass of the Earth, the Schwarzschild radius is a mere 9 millimeters — about the size of a marble.\n\nThe mean density inside the Schwarzschild radius decreases as the mass of the black hole increases, so while an earth-mass black hole would have a density of 2 × 1030 kg/m3, a supermassive black hole of 109 solar masses has a density of around 20 kg/m3, less than water! The mean density is given by\n\n    &#92;rho=&#92;frac{3&#92;,c^6}{32&#92;pi m^2G^3}\n\nSince the Earth has a mean radius of 6371 km, its volume would have to be reduced 4 × 1026 times to collapse into a black hole. For an object with the mass of the Sun, the Schwarzschild radius is approximately 3 km, much smaller than the Sun's current radius of about 700,000 km. It is also significantly smaller than the radius to which the Sun will ultimately shrink after exhausting its nuclear fuel, which is several thousand kilometers. More massive stars can collapse into black holes at the end of their lifetimes.\n\nMore general black holes are also predicted by other solutions to Einstein's equations, such as the Kerr metric for a rotating black hole, which possesses a ring singularity. Then we have the Reissner-Nordström metric for charged black holes. Last the Kerr-Newman metric is for the case of a charged and rotating black hole.\n\nThere is also the Black Hole Entropy formula:\n\nS = &#92;frac{Akc^3}{4&#92;hbar G}\n\nWhere A is the area of the event horizon of the black hole, &#92;hbar is Dirac's constant (the "reduced Planck constant"), k is the Boltzmann constant, G is the gravitational constant, c is the speed of light and S is the entropy.

The answer to the question asked is no because black holes exist.\n\nNow then, except for black holes which are only absorbing radiation and matter, all other objects, made of atoms and molecules, present  in the universe are absorbing,reflecting and re-emitting radiation and will continue to do so as long as temperature differences/imbalances exist indicating a disequilibrium in energy distribution exists. Weak radiation activities come from changes in the electronic structures of the atoms and molecules and strong radiation activities from changes in their nuclear structures.\n\nThe second law of thermodynamics helps describe and predict the direction of all the energy exchanges taking place in the universe between objects especially the atomic/molecular objects we understand. The possibility exists however, that  --radiation may not play a part in the poorly or incompletely understood mechanics and structures of astronomical and quantum mechanical objects. TWH 06292006
