Using the familiar rhythm of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,"
follow along as the black hole swallows up everything that exists, from the
biggest to the smallest pieces of matter.

swallowed the universe. - oh well, it couldn't get worse. There was a Black
hole that swallowed a cell. It might get unwell after swallowing a cell.
It swallowed the cells that gave life to the planets. It swallowed the planets
that orbited the stars. . It swallowed the stars that lit up the galaxies.
It swallowed the galaxies that filled the universe. I don't know why it
swallowed the universe. - oh well, it couldn't get worse. There was a Black
hole that swallowed a molecule. It thought it was fuel, a big molecule.
It swallowed the molecules that fed the cells. It swallowed the cells that gave
life to the planets. It swallowed the planets that orbited the stars.
It swallowed the stars that lit up the galaxies. It swallowed the galaxies that
filled the universe. I don't know why it swallowed the universe.
- oh well, it couldn't get worse. There was a black hole that swallowed an
atom. It's hard to get at 'em, those tiny atoms. It swallowed the atoms that
built up the molecules. It swallowed the molecules that fed the cells.

orbited the stars. It swallowed the stars that lit up the galaxies.
It swallowed the galaxies that filled the universe. I don't know why it swallowed
the universe. - oh well, it couldn't get worse. There was a black hole that
swallowed a Neutron. A good start to build on a neutral neutron. It swallowed the
neutrons that stabbled the atoms. It swallowed the atoms that built up the
molecules. It swallowed the molecules that fed the cells. It swallowed the cells
that gave life to the planets. It swallowed the planets that orbited the stars.

get worse. There was a black hole that swallowed a Qark. That's all there was.
And now it's dark.
At the back of the book here we have some stellar black
hole facts. So number one is, you can't see a black hole because it doesn't
reflect a light. It actually pulls light in with its immense gravity. Number two is,
the place beyond which nothing can escape a black hole is called the event
horizon. Number three is the center of the black hole is called a singularity.
We might never know what happens there.
Number four is, black holes warp
space and time around them to us time appears to move much slower near
a black hole.
Number five is, when two black holes collide they send out
waves of energy that stretch and squish space itself.
And number six,
scientists believe there is a huge black hole at the center of every spiral
galaxy including our own Milky Way
