While you cannot technically 'see' a black hole, you can see the accretion disk which forms around it.

The accretion disk is a large amount of matter that has collected around the mass (black hole) and orbits the mass VERY fast. Picture looking down the drain when your sink is running...the water swirls around the drain before going down, but you cannot see down the drain itself. (Unless you had a flash light)

What would happen if someone traveled into a black hole xy?

There are black holes in space, probably the most famous is the one in the constellation of Cygnus (the swan) and is called cygnus X1, there is also thought to be a giant black hole at the centre of the galaxy. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that once inside the edge known as the event horizon nothing can escape not even light. Therefore we do not know what is like inside and even if we sent someone in to investigate they would never be able to tell us because their communication would not be able to get out. If someone went inside the event horizon they would die fairly quickly, the difference in gravitational pull between your toes and your head would stretch you out like a long piece of spaghetti altough with very massive black holes you will not spaghettify until the moment you come very close to the hole. At that point tidal forces would eventually rip you apart, then rip your atoms apart and you would eventually become more of the black hole's mass. There is speculation that space could become so warped and distorted the very fabric of reality is broken down which leaves the door open to just about anything but that borders on meta-physics. Depending on the side of the black hole it is possible that turbulance around it may prevent you from actually reaching the outer shell of the black hole called the "Event Horizon". Once past that point, there is no escape back outside of the horizon (currently) but you could survive within the event horizon for a period of time (current theory at this time) but eventually you will meet your doom at the center. If you were to travel directly towards one, without going inside. More then likely you would see a weird distortion as light from objects behind it are bent around it. As you got closer you would more then likely see a growing blank spot. If you are travelling directly at it you would then be sling shot around it and off on your merry way. If you approach it just right you would get locked into an orbit around it seeing again a weird warped image of the objects around it. Given yourself a bit of a push and you can start to fall inwards towards the mass.After that, you go right in and die. Yes -there are many black holes in the universe. It's believed that at the center of each large galaxy, there lies a black hole. Supposing you tossed a ball into a black hole, it would reach relativistic speeds fairly quickly, so time for the ball would appear to be very different. To you, it would appear as though the ball would slow down and stop before it reached the black hole. To an ant on the ball, it would appear as if the universe around it sped up, aging billions of years, and eventually reaching an "infinite time" before it hit the black hole.


Is a Bunsen flame hottest when the hole is open or close?

A Bunsen flame is hottest when the air hole is open. When the air hole is open, more oxygen can mix with the gas, resulting in a hotter and more efficient flame. Closing the air hole restricts the amount of oxygen, leading to a cooler flame.
