Are Black Holes vortexes or something that take you somewhere else? I just wanted to know where do black holes take you. I know how they're made, (a really giant star collapsed on its on weight) but I wanted to know were they take you, when and who discovered. Thanx

Nobody knows. If someone tried to find out they wouldn't be able to come back to tell us where they go.

Goldenwolf

that was a fast answer

They take you to the collasped star surface where the weight of the gravity would crush you.

someone is watching way too much sci fi as to openings to somewhere else.

Goldenwolf

hahahaha lol

What about Einstein? he needed black holes to prove his theory, because light bended and stuff where the black hole was

Agreed on the other answers given, however it should be noted that Kerr's solution states:
* The properties of space-time between the two event horizons allow objects to move only towards the singularity.
* But the properties of space-time within the inner event horizon allow objects to move away from the singularity, pass through another set of inner and outer event horizons, and emerge out of the black hole into another universe or another part of this universe without traveling faster than the speed of light.
* Passing through the ring shaped singularity may allow entry to a negative gravity universe.

However all of this is of course theoretical and unproven in any way, and even if proven would prove useless, since anything grasped by said black hole would be distorted and disrupted beyond restoration and usefulness.

What use is an alternate universe if you're dead?

thanx!

Hmmm : so "heaven" could well be a black hole ...

.
The entrance to a black hole is some form of funnel with the rim being the "event horizon" after which the strenght of gravity is so big that all incoming matter and light enters a one-way street inwards, circles faster and faster to the bottom in the center, the black hole itself, where the conditions are as already indicated by others.
.
There is no reason - nor is there any theoretical support - for the assumption that a black hole provides passage to some other place (for instance by being connected to a "white hole"). Only the "Captain Kirks" under us normal human beings use black holes as shortcuts to other places.
But than : Captain Kirk has "gone where no-one has gone before".
If he or his shipmates ever got there, or ended up as black hole matter is not known, as nobody has "gone where Captain Kirk has gone before", and returned.

.
That is just one way to make them. At Cern they expect to make (small) black holes also.
But as small black holes tend to grow to big black holes, all our hope should be on Stephen Hawkins who predicted that ultra small black holes will evaporate. Let's hope he is right on that !
