A black hole is a region of spacetime wherein gravity is so strong that no matter or electromagnetic energy (e.g. light) can escape it. [2] Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. [3] [4] The boundary of no escape is called the event horizon.
