Ive always wondered about black holes. I know that it is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing can escape after having fallen past the event horizon, not even light. Does anyone know anything else, because I am so curious about it!:p

Well, what do you want to know that wikipedia doesn't cover? :)

I guess some myths, or legends about it. If anyone has a theory about it.
