EP-3: What If Our Sun became a Black hole?

EP-3: What If Our Sun became a Black hole?

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that not even light cannot escape. The escape velocity for such an object is more than the speed of light and according to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. So, it's impossible to escape from such a dense object. Listen What If Our Sun became a black hole or What If a black hole replaced our Sun?
