If you've been on this Earth long enough you probably know, or have heard of a black hole.Those big scary things in space that suck everything and anything into them you come in, you never come out. While this hypothesis is, in a sense, right, it is not all that a black hole really is. This begs the question: what is a black hole? First, everyone knows that black hole holes are formed when a star dies and collapses in on itself, if you compress an object into a small enough space to the point where its density and gravitational pull would be so great that not even light can pass through it, you would have a black black hole (hence the 'black'). There are two types of black holes: a Schwarzschild and a Kerr. The difference between a Schwarzschild and a Kerr is that a Schwarzschild black hole does not rotate, a Kerr black hole rotates. There are four parts to a black hole, the singularity (the nucleus), the event horizon (the aperture of the hole), so the ergosphere is the egg-shaped region of distorted space around the event horizon (since gravitational forces bend space and time, the ergosph...
