Black Holes: Real or Reel?

"Do black holes possibly exist?" This question has been revolving our planet for ages. I heard straight from Stephen Hawking that they actually can. According to him, black holes can exist through the death of a massive star. When a massive star explodes, it turns into a high dense matter possessing an intense gravity and because of this powerful gravity, a black hole is born. This may sound like a science fiction but this is absolutely possible. Another fact is, if Jupiter collapses into a black hole, it would have a diameter similar to the height of an average human being but if our Earth collapses into a black hole, it would only have a size of a tennis ball. What a difference!

"Are black holes really black?" Stephen Hawking once said, "Black holes are not really black after all. They glow like a hot body, and the smaller they are, the more they glow." This is due to the vacuum of the massive star that produces very tiny amounts of energy and as well as matter through the form of photons, neutrinos and other subparticles.

But sad to say, these black holes don't exist forever, it evaporates right away and as this happens, information and facts also fades. That's why everything about it isn't certain, only possibilities.
