How do black holes form, and what are their properties and effects on surrounding space-time?
Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity at the end of their life cycles, creating regions of extreme gravitational attraction where matter is densely packed into a singularity. Black holes have properties such as an event horizon (the point of no return), gravitational lensing, and time dilation. They influence surrounding space-time by distorting light, accelerating matter, and generating gravitational waves.
