To those of you who are not familiar with the concept of a "Black hole" a simple definition of this phenomenon is:
"In physics and astronomy, a black hole is a region in time and space within which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even electromagnetic radiation such as visible Light. Black holes are thought to surround certain celestial objects." (source: http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid183_gci961932,00.html
