Black holes do indeed have a central singularity of infinite density and zero volume where all mass in concentrated; however, the term "solid" describes a state of matter which definition may defy the unclearly described and poorly understood state of matter in the singularity.

Despite the apt metaphor of being a "hole" into which matter and energy can disappear never to return, black holes are not strictly speaking a hole in the common sense; in fact, it might be better described as an unusual region of spacetime answering to infinite spatial or temporal curvature as described by Einstein's General Relativity than it would either as a hole or as a material object.

Is the black hole a solid or a gas?

Neither. A black hole has crushed itself to an infinity dense point. It cannot be considered any state of matter that we are familiar with.


What is more dense black hole or star?

A black hole is more dense. In principle, the black hole exists all at one point. So its volume is zero, and its density is infinite.


What is inside the Black Hole?

At the center of a black hole is a mass that has collapsed to an infinitely dense point.


What is a dense singularity?

Otherwise known as a Black Hole


What is dense grade?

Dense grade: Means after graded, the material will form solid without hole. Open grade: means the solid will have over 15% holes.


What is the most dense bag?

The singularity at the centre of a black hole.


Could you survive a black hole if you were in something more dense than the black hole so you wouldn't get crushed?

there is no such thing as that


IS there anything behind a black hole?

There is no "behind" a black hole. A black hole is not a circular disk. The event horizon is spherical, with a singularity at the center. That singularity is an infinitely dense point.


What is a region so dense that not even light can escape it?

A black hole


What's at the bottom of a black hole?

A black hole isn't a hole as such. It is an extremely dense dead star that attracts all matter into a tiny singularity that has a massive density.


Was is in a black hole?

really really dense material that comes from a supernova explosion


Is a black hole white?

no. it is black because black holes are so dense that light can't even escape from them. therefore making them black.
