Black holes in fiction

Black holes in fiction are made up creations. They are objects in stories, shows, and movies that represent a big hole in outer space that is so strong and powerful, nothing can escape it, not even light! People think black holes are mystical and cool, so writers often use them in their stories to add an element of mystery and magic. People can't actually travel to black holes in real life, so writers have to come up with their own fantasy versions of black holes.
