Black

The point in the center of the black hole where we believe that physics as we know if may cease to exist

• accretion disk

• singularity

• supernova

• quasar

We can see black holes because

• light can escape it

• energy can escape it

• I have x-ray vision

• we see the light of the stars at its event horizon, they reflect off of objects around the accretion disk
