No, and I blame the fools in the media for making people think otherwise. Black holes are points in space where gravity reaches infinite levels. And, like a bubble, but for different levels, everything is spherical. Bubbles do it because the surface area is least. Blakc holes do it because the volume is filled most efficiently that way.

Furthermore, if it were, say a cube in shape, the corners of the structure would be pulled in, as there's less to support them than in a sphere.

What galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?

The Milky Way galaxy has several spiral arms that extend from a central core. While the core itself contains a supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, the arms do not specifically extend from the black hole but rather spiral out from the central bulge of the galaxy.


Black holes are thought to be vital in?

There can never be a galaxy without a black hole. The anti-matter is necessary to cause the matter to spiral. It creates a huge suction.


Does a black hole have rings?

The mathematics of a black hole itself does not require them. However matter around them will tend to orbit the black hole before eventually falling in, this creates what is called an accretion disk which could be considered a "ring". There is also strong evidence that all spiral galaxies contain a super massive black hole, if this is indeed the case then the entire disk of such galaxies could be considered a second "ring".


Why does Sagittarius A indicate that a black hole is at the center of the universe?

Sorry, the universe does not have one center. According to the usual interpretation of the Big Bang theory, any and all points in the universe can equally be considered centers of the universe.Perhaps you meant to ask "Why does Sagittarius A indicate that a black hole is at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?" instead. Galaxies do have distinct centers, all spiral galaxies are now believed to have a supermassive black hole at their centers, and our galaxy: the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy. The observations of the object called Sagittarius A match what would be expected of a supermassive black hole and are in the right galactic direction to place it at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.


How did the black hole come in space?

Black holes are formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity at the end of its life. This collapse causes the star to shrink to a point of infinite density known as a singularity, creating a region with an intense gravitational pull that even light cannot escape from, called a black hole.

Are the stars in a spiral galaxy being drawn into the black hole?

Any star that gets too close to a black hole can be drawn into it. But most stars can orbit the center of the galaxy almost indefinitely, without such a thing happening.


What object is believed to reside at the center of Active Galactic Nuclei?

The center of many galaxies is suspected to house a "supermassive black hole". The black hole may even weigh more than all the stars in that galaxy combined. Spiral galaxies are more likely to contain a supermassive black hole.
