What are black holes? Why do they exist in the first place anyway?

    Black holes are formed when the gravity of a star becomes so great that nothing in its vicinity can escape, not even light.

    I am sorry I don't know where to discuss this but, I signed up here because someone advertised a job for translators and directed me to this site to find Translation jobs. But, I don't see anything like Translation jobs just like as a Freelancer finds it on the Freelancing websites. Any help please?` Thank you!

    Black holes are created when matter compacts enough to deform spacetime, generally when stars implode. Around the compact mass, there will be an area from which nothing can escape - even light. It should be noted that no-one has ever observed a black hole, but there is evidence of their existence.
