The Black Hole

The black hole is the densit place in the universe. The gravitational force of a black hole is so strong that nothing can escape from it.Black holes form when a stars nuclear fuel runs out and is crushed by its own gravitaional force. The event horizion is the surface of the black hole. The point of singularity is in the inside of the black hole and is made up of all the holes mass. The way these to relate is because once you hit the event horizion you immediatly goto the point of singularity.
