he dicovered the cosmic black holes and how and why they work
He did not discover them. He did some calculations that predicted the possibility of the existence of black holes.
The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).
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.
The Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. It is about 2.95 km for every solar mass.

Karl Schwarzschild discovered black holes.
Karl Schwarzschild found the first exact solution to Einstein's field equations in the context of general relativity. This solution describes the gravitational field around a spherically symmetric mass, giving rise to what is now known as the Schwarzschild metric, which describes the geometry of spacetime near a non-rotating, uncharged black hole.
