“Einstein’s version of the warping of space and time came with a prediction: that around a star of sufficiently packed mass and energy, these train tracks become infinitely stretched, and time gets squeezed into a single moment, erasing all differences between earlier, now and later.
These are the famous black hole solutions…spherical shells of pure curved spacetime, called horizons, floating in the vastness of the Universe.”
