Karl did not "discover" a black hole -- he simply showed, on purely mathematical grounds, that Einstein's equations for general relativity could lead to a mass density singularity from which light itself could not escape. He did so in 1915 while, incredible as it may sound, as a World War I soldier on the Russian front.

Would one cubic light year of water form a black hole?
No, water cannot form a black hole, no matter the quantity. Black holes are only formed after the collapse of a supergiant star.
How close can you get to a black hole without falling in?
You can get as close as you want, as long as your tangential speed is high enough to maintain an orbit. Inside of some distance, that'll require the speed of light (or more). The distance depends on the mass of the black hole.
How big was the hole in the ozone layer in 1880?
There is no way of knowing. We did not discover the recurring ozone hole until the late 1900s.
What does a black hole do to space and time?
Per Einstein's General Theory, which is the theory of gravitation, gravity affects space itself. A black hole (or any mass) by way of analogy is like a weight on a rubber sheet which stretches the sheet; in this sense a black hole is shown to 'stretch' space to an extreme curvature or gradient which is effectively infinite. Rotating black holes are also calculated to evidence a phenomenon called frame-dragging, in which the space itself around them in spinning in the same direction as that of the black hole.
Is there a black hole in earth solar system?
In Earth, no. Black holes are only formed when the initial mass of a star is great enough that at the end of its life, it will either go supernova (massive explosion) or turn into a black hole. The sun is a medium sized star, and will most likely just burn out and turn into a white dwarf.
What year discover the ultimate bottom?
The ultimate bottom itself is when space is discovered. No one really knows when a black hole opens up, Is it bottomless. I think yes. The question however is: What year did people discover the ultimate bottom.
Would one cubic light year of water form a black hole?
No, water cannot form a black hole, no matter the quantity. Black holes are only formed after the collapse of a supergiant star.
How did einstein discover the black hole he farted and started to laugh because it tickled?
The answer is this: it's pathetic that, when given the infinite opportunities for intellectual discourse given by the Internet, the only thing you can think to do is to make jokes that a three-year-old would find immature.
Which is smaller a black hole or the milky way galaxy?
Most identified black holes are much smaller than the Milky Way. If there was a black hole the mass of the Milky Way (which is probably 100,000 light years across) it would only be about 2/5ths of a single light year in width. Even the largest known black hole is much smaller than our galaxy.
Can canis magoris become a black hole?
Yes it is possible for Canis magoris to become a black hole, but at its current age it may either explode and turn into a dwarf star or implode and become a black hole. The process will take millions of year, but the possibility is there. But for a definite answer that is impossible at the current status of data. Their are just too many factors that could come into play.
What is the distance from the sun to a black hole?
1,600 light years. There is 5,865,696,000,000 miles in one light year so do the math.

Are there black holes bigger than a gaxaly?
Considering that a black hole's size is proportional to its mass, and that our galaxy is about a hundred thousand light years across, the mass of a black hole with a Schwarzchild radius half that distance would need to have upwards of ten to the seventeenth power solar masses, or roughly a hundred million times the mass of the Milky Way - a significant fraction of the mass of the visible matter in the universe. Given statistical considerations regarding the distribution of masses of known black holes (the largest of which are themselves at the center of galaxies), one larger than (an average) galaxy would be highly unusual. To help on a comparison of scale, the largest known black hole, considered excessively large, is over 10 times the size of the orbit of Neptune, which, although large, on galactic scales is still quite small - less than one hundredth of a light year. The smallest known group of gravitationally bound stars that can qualify as a galaxy is about 20 light years across.
What year did the pilgrims discover Massachusetts?
In the year 1620
How close can you get to a black hole without falling in?
You can get as close as you want, as long as your tangential speed is high enough to maintain an orbit. Inside of some distance, that'll require the speed of light (or more). The distance depends on the mass of the black hole.
