A '''black hole''' is a theoretical prediction of the [[theory of relativity]].  It is impossible to prove that a black hole does not exist, and thus it fails the [[falsifiability]] requirement of science.  Nevertheless, the theoretical black hole remains a popular topic for magazines, the science page of the [[New York Times]], and scientists on the cutting edge of astronomy and cosmology, as well as being a popular device in sci-fi due to its inherent "coolness factor".
