    Do Black Holes Really Exist ?

    Do black holes really exist or is it just a fig of scientist's imagination,

    They say black holes have such an intense gravitational pull, that even light cannot escape, Oh my God! so if light cannot bounce off them, then how are they going to look at it using giant earth size telescopes?

    So what are black holes then? and why do they exist? and how are they made, or created, and who creates them or what creates them, what are they made of, some questions I need answers for,

    What worries me is if they're holes, and the universe is infinite where does the stuff falls into them end up ? It can't fall out of the universe, since the universe is the biggest thing. If the stuff that falls into them comes out the other end then I hope it never appears over my garden !!! Oh and black holes do exist, I have one in my sock drawer which explains why I have so many odd socks

        Of all the elements known to us, the heaviest being iradium, or osmium, or even uranium, they are roughly twice the mass of lead, so unless the single atom black hole exists, it must be made of some unknown element that we have not discovered that must weigh by billions of times more than heaviest element we know on earth, so for a single atom blackhole to own intense gravitational pull, intense enough to stop the light escaping it must be made of an element that has not yet been discovered, but really does it might actually exist? I doubt it.

          So can somebody either fill a cement mixer lorry with white paint and spin drum backwards see what happens

          then fill a shipping container with fireworks, drop it in and torch

              you mention "heaviest" but things can be compressed, and whilst their atomic weight does not increase, compression allows more atoms per given area of volume. so there is no need for new elements.
              indeed as studying the elements we have, indicates black holes could/should exist it would seem to preclude the necessity for any "heavier" elements.
              , the existence of Liquid compressed guesses, like CO2, N, O2 really proves this point

              Do they exist? YES.
              Do we have the faintest idea of what they really are? NO. but we do have lots of VERY educated guesses.

              If it proper broke, use it for something else!

                  if you watch SCT ON Thor 6 (0.8?W) Satisfaction Channel Television (Italy) broadcasts in DVB-S2 Panaccess on 11958.00MHz, pol.V SR:30000 FEC:3/4 SID:59 PID:1059[MPEG-4]/2059 then you might find some info on black holes there.....they have specific nights dedicated to the entire topic.

                        Do Black Holes exist? YES.
