First, it isn't the "weight", but the mass of the black hole that is relevant. Second, the black hole does, indeed, greatly distort space and time in its neighborhood.

What would be your weight in deep space and near a black hole?

Your "weight" is the magnitude of the gravitational force between you and another mass. -- In deep space, far from any other mass, the gravitational force between you and any other mass would be very small, but never zero. -- Near a back hole, the gravitational force between you and the black hole would be (gravitational constant) x (your mass) x (black hole's mass)/(your distance from the black hole)2


What do you call a dead star caves in itself due to its very big mass?

When a dead star collapses in on itself due to its massive weight, it forms a black hole. A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.


Is the black hole in space a blue star?

No. A black hole may be the remnant of the core of what was once a blue star, but the black hole itself is as black as anything can possibly be.


What are some theories about the contents of a black hole?

A black hole contains a large amount of matter, compressed in an incredibly small space.


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.

Yes


What if a space ship could survive the pressure and went in a black hole?

no because it would destroy the space if it went in to a black hole

The black hole itself cannot be seen, however, its pulling effects of the surrounding area can be seen.


What does a black circle do in space?

No non-fictional astronomical body know as black circle. If the question is meant to employ the term 'black hole' in space, what a black hole does is to exist.
