The video explores the enigmatic nature of black holes, which are regions in space with immense gravitational pull, preventing even light from escaping. Scientists observe them indirectly through particles and radiation. Black holes form when stars collapse, creating a dense mass that attracts nearby objects. They have two main layers: the event horizon and the singularity. Black holes vary in size, from primordial to supermassive, with the latter found at the center of galaxies. The video also discusses the hypothetical impact of a black hole in our solar system.
