What is Black hole’s center?

A black hole’s center is like the tiniest, most powerful marble ever made, and it's super squished!

Imagine you're playing with a ball in a very small room. If you push the ball really hard, it gets squeezed into a tiny spot. Now imagine that ball is made of super dense matter, and instead of being pushed by your hands, it’s being squeezed by gravity, the same force that keeps us on the ground.

What's inside the center?

At the center of a black hole lies something called a singularity. Think of it like a marble that has been squished until it has no size at all, zero size, but with infinite density. It’s like if your marble was made of the whole Earth, and then you squeezed it into the tip of a pencil.

What happens near the center?

Around the singularity is the event horizon, which acts like the "edge" of the black hole. If something goes past that edge, it can't come back, just like how a toy car might roll off a table and fall to the floor. But the center itself? That’s where all the squishing happens!
