In 1783, John Michell was the first to theorize about black holes - objects whose WHAT is so great that even light gets trapped.

• Mass

• Weight

• Gravity

• Density

• Darkness

In 1783, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar proposed that THIS collapsing (above a certain mass) would give rise to a black hole

• A comet

• A planet

• A stellar core

• A quantum particle wave

• A moon

The first likely black hole was found in 1971 and was given this name

• Cygnus X-1

• Rigel - Z

• Proxima Centauri

• UV Ceti

• Sirius XM

In 2012, American string theorist Joseph Polchinski suggested that THIS would produce a super hot firewall at a black hole's event horizon

• singularity exposition

• quantum supersymmetry

• quantum entanglement

• cosmological background

• dimensional reduction

In 2014, this famous scientist argued that black holes may no longer exist
