      There is still a lot we don’t know about black holes. The two biggest theories in physics don’t play nice with each other when you try to use them together on black holes. A lot more science-ing is required.

      But yes, they basically must exist. We’ve also seen indirect evidence of a supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. There is something there, that doesn’t emit light, but has a lot of gravity.

      The evidence points in that direction so scientists are pretty confident that black holes exist yes.

      Yes absolutely – it’s even predicted that there is one at the centre of our galaxy
