Welcome to the forum.

This is MUCH too broad a question for you to expect an answer. Please do a forum search. Black holes are discussed here VERY frequently. When you have a specific question, you can post it in the appropriate subforum.

i have been reading about them but i should know their basics so please just tell me about its basics.

If you have been reading about them, you should KNOW the basics. Please do a forum search. If you have a specific question about black holes ("please tell me the basics" is not a specific question) then post it in the appropriate forum, NOT here in the introduction section.

The cool thing about black holes they can pull in light yet not gamma rays or anti matter because of the spin, charge or wave length maybe all the above.

VY Canis Majoris shedding 40
https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1546/
every year, VY Canis Majoris sees 30 times the mass of the Earth expelled from its surface in the form of dust and gas. This cloud of material is pushed outwards before the star explodes,

since this star is 4,800 light years away and we are seeing this now whos not to say it already exploded

The future of VY Canis Majoris


But this is just an example for what black holes can do. I think gamma ray bursts can travel faster then light to not be effected by a black holes gravity.

FAQ: Exploring the Mysteries of Black Holes: A Brief Overview

What is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. This is caused by a concentration of mass in a small area, creating a strong gravitational field.

How are black holes formed?

Black holes are formed when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own gravity. This creates a singularity, a point of infinite density, at the center of the black hole.

Can we see black holes?

No, we cannot see black holes directly because they do not emit or reflect light. However, we can observe their effects on surrounding matter, such as the distortion of light and the emission of radiation from the accretion disk.

How do black holes affect time and space?

Black holes have a strong gravitational pull that can bend and distort space-time. This means that time moves slower near a black hole compared to farther away, and the shape of space is also altered near a black hole.

Are there different types of black holes?

Yes, there are three main types of black holes: stellar black holes, intermediate black holes, and supermassive black holes. These differ in size and mass, with supermassive black holes being the largest and most common in the universe.
