The Stars Series: Black Holes
The Star Series: Black Holes
In the night sky the stars pierce through vast darkness
But there is a darkness darker then even we can see
Of course I am talking of black holes
We know they exist because of the effects they cause
They give out no light of their own
They warp light that surrounds them
They suck in and devour any hapless matter
They sag the very fabric of the cosmos
They take space-time and curve it to the infinite
Any matter that is unfortunate to get to close
Enters the event horizon a point between existing and nothingness
The poor matter can see no light
Time drags almost to infinity
But the matter does pass through this horizon eventually
To be crushed by the dark heavy point of singularity at the center
Is the black hole evil
No they just know
They are just doing what black holes do
