Timeline of black hole physics

A black hole is an incredibly big and powerful object in space that is so big and has so much gravity that nothing can escape, not even light. Scientists have been studying black holes for a long time, and over the past few hundred years, we've learned more and more about what they are and how they work.

Black hole physics is the field of science that studies black holes. It began in the 1700s when people started to think about the idea of a black hole, and how it might affect things around it. Since then, scientists have studied black holes in more and more detail.

In the 1900s, scientists learned how a black hole's gravity affects light. They also developed special tools, called telescopes, to study what happens when light travels near a black hole.

In the 2000s, scientists started to better understand how black holes interact with other objects in space, like stars and galaxies. They also used new technologies to try to look inside black holes.

Today, scientists are still exploring and learning more about black holes. They are trying to figure out what happens when you get close to a black hole, and if it's possible to travel through one.
