About this ebook
TV and movies will have you believing that black holes are huge holes in space and anything that falls into them is lost for all time – possibly falling into another universe or another time, or even falling forever.
You may think that black holes run around in space like huge vacuum cleaners sucking up everything in their path. This is not true.
But what actually is a black hole and what do they do? This book will help you find out.
