did you know that _____ ?

[Philly Mike]

Did you know that a black hole is not shaped like a funnel as depicted in illustrations? Sometimes they have an accretion disk around it that gives the illusion that you can sneak up under it and be fine, but in reality it's gravitational pull is equal all around it in all directions at once. It's more like a funnel in all directions sucking into a central location.

Additional on this (if i am not mistaken) a black hole pulls everything in, even light. This is what makes the dark spot you see in the center of the black hole, it is the event horizon, the spot of a black hole that once something reaches it, it doesn't come back.
