Black holes are like giant cosmic magnets. They pull everything in, even light! When things get really close to a black hole, space and time start to stretch, it’s like the universe is bending around them. Imagine throwing a ball near a super strong magnet: the closer it gets, the harder it pulls, and the more distorted its path becomes. That’s what happens with space and time near a black hole, they get warped in amazing ways.
Examples
- If you stood near a black hole for years, your twin on Earth would be much older than you.
