According to the leading theories, it is the relativistic distortion of space/time around a singularity that prevents us from seeing a black hole directly. Light follows the curvature of space. Space curves due to gravity (or more apt perhaps is the statement that gravity *is* the distortion of space). Space around a singularity of sufficient mass is curved to such an extent that a ray of light, once entering the region of curved space surrounding the singularity, is forced to either spiral inwards towards the singularity or follow a circular path around the singularity, never to exit that region again. Since no light can escape from the region surrounding the singularity, the singularity itself can not be seen. The demarkation between the region where light is just barely able to escape the relativistic distortion and where it is not is called the 'event horizon'.
What else can I help you with?
If your body is a black hole are you invisible?
Black holes are invisible to the visible light spectrum and many others because their gravity is so strong it pulls in even light. So in theory yes. But a human body is FAR too light to ever form a black hole. However, if you define visibility as human perception of it, while we never see light from a black hole, we would notice the absence of light in an area, so even if it were possible to turn your body into a black hole, no one would see you, but the would see a black gap in space where you should be...
What is the first known black hole?
The first black hole discovered is Cygnus X-1, which was identified in 1964 as a strong X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus. It is a binary system with a massive, invisible companion that is believed to be a black hole about 15 times the mass of the Sun.
If nothing can escape a black hole in outer space how can you see photos of a black hole?
The answer is, you cannot see photos of a black hole. You are quite right; not even light can escape a black hole's incredible gravity, so all black holes are completely invisible. It is possible, however, to see long trails of matter that is being pulled into a black hole. The way we detect black holes from earth, however, is by picking up the gamma rays that they emit.
What makes a black hole stronger?
A black hole becomes stronger as it increases in mass, which results in greater gravitational pull. When matter falls into a black hole, it adds to its mass, making it "stronger" in terms of its gravitational influence on surrounding objects.
Why do black holes get more dangerous as more stuff falls into them?
Anything that falls into a black hole becomes part of that black hole's mass, which makes the gravity stronger and causes the event horizon to grow larger.
Why is a black hole called a black hole and what makes it different from other celestial objects?
A black hole is called a black hole because it is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This makes it appear black or invisible. What makes black holes different from other celestial objects is their extreme density and gravitational pull, which can distort space and time around them. This creates unique properties such as an event horizon, where anything that crosses it is pulled into the black hole.
What is invisible to the naked eye but if put in a barrel makes it lighter?
A hole
Are black holes invisable?
Yes and no. It is rather hard to explain, because black holes are so dark and black that no living creature can see them, which in a sense makes them invisible, but you can also see where a black hole is because it sucks in light, too, so that would also, in a sense make it visible, but the my main answer would be, no black holes are not invisible.
What makes a black hole such a mysterious and intriguing cosmic phenomenon?
A black hole is mysterious and intriguing because it is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This makes it invisible and difficult to study directly. Additionally, black holes have properties that challenge our understanding of physics, such as their ability to warp space and time. These characteristics make black holes a fascinating and enigmatic cosmic phenomenon.
What is invisible because its gravity is so strong no form of radiation can escape from it?
A black hole is invisible because its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it. This phenomenon is known as the event horizon, which marks the point of no return for anything crossing it.

Are the things travel faster than light when they enter inside black hole so they become invisible?
No
What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?
In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.
Are blackholes really white?
No, black holes are actually invisible because it can suck it Light as well, so no light can escape from the black hole.
How do you know when there is a black hole?
black holes are invisible because its gravitational pull is so strong even light cant escape from it. so what scientists do is they look at things around the black hole. if there is a black hold near a planet or star that objects orbit will be altered and it will be heating up from the friction of going into the hole.
Why can't we see a black hole?
We can't see a black hole because it does not emit any light. Its gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape from it, making it invisible to the naked eye.
Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?
No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.
