Black Holes: Not Cosmic Vacuums

Black holes don't just swallow everything in their path. That's the biggest misconception about

them. In reality, if our Sun suddenly became a black hole right now,

Earth would keep orbiting exactly as it does today. The gravitational pull would be identical.

Black holes only devour what crosses their event horizon, an invisible boundary where escape becomes

impossible. Think of it like a drain in your bathtub. Water only goes

down when it gets close enough. The rest swirls peacefully around it.

These cosmic giants are actually quite predictable, following the same laws of physics

that keep your feet on the ground. They're not monsters lurking in space, but natural endpoints
