Black hole An interesting fact is that the closer you get to a black hole thee slower time runs . Material that gets to close too close to a black hole gets sucked in and can never escape. Black holes were first proposed to exist in the 18th century but remained a mathematical curiosity until the first candidate black hole was found in 1964.
