Black holes have remained one of the most unexplored phenomena in space for fifty years. We do not know exactly where they came from and why they are needed, but scientists are sure that solving the essence of black holes will be the day when people will understand the basic laws of the universe. So far, physicists have only been able to get a couple of photographs of the black hole.
Creators
Black holes create new universes. Likely. This theory has been actively promoted by physicists in the last year, and Stephen Hawking was the first to express this strange idea. The fact is that the singularity of black holes violates existing physical laws, which means that their activity is regulated in other universes. Those who themselves create holes.
Disappearing
Scientists cannot understand exactly how black holes disappear. Back in 1974, the same Hawking found out that over time, a black hole disappears into the surrounding space - but no one understands where it goes.

Slowing down time
Another inexplicable feature of these strange space formations is their ability to slow down the flow of time itself. In theory, at the very event horizon of a black hole, time for an astronaut would move so fast that he could travel into the future.
Population control
Star formation occurs when the gas cloud cools. But radiation from a black hole prevents the clouds from cooling and thereby regulates the number of stars in the universe. Physicists believe that this may be the practical purpose of black holes.
They are loud
In late 2003, astronomers "heard" a strange noise emanating from a huge black hole 250 million light-years away. Now it is assumed that the black hole makes sounds, converting matter into energy.
Energy source
The most daring physicists claim that someday humanity will learn to use black holes as an inexhaustible source of energy. Converting atoms into subatomic particles does indeed release fifty times more energy than nuclear fusion we know.
Bead game
Our world is a bit like Lego constructors: everything in it is created from the same parts - atoms. But without black holes, which literally take matter apart, there would be no subatomic elements from which stars are born. In fact, a black hole is God in the interpretation of physicists.
