There are monsters out in the cosmos That can swallow entire stars Inside these equations, there's a monster Anything that strays too close will be pulled in
Gravity is infinite at the center of black hole Time stops - space makes no sense
Every galaxy has got one big black hole in the middle And millions of smaller black holes
An anomaly of gravity so strange Nothing is more seductive
There are monsters out in the cosmos That can swallow entire stars That can destroy space itself Completely invisible Anything that strays too close will be pulled in
In the last century, black holes have gone from being mathematical curiosities To real objects in the cosmos Seemingly crucial to the formation of galaxies Nothing can escape it, even light
There must be millions and millions of black holes Zipping around our galaxy, nothing there to light them up
At the heart of a large black hole is a singularity It's a point of inifinite density The accepted laws of physics break down
Black holes form when giant stars run out of fuel And collapse under their own weight Dark remnants of burned out stars Truth is stranger than sci-fi
(refrain)
Nothing is bigger and scarier than a black hole A boundary between the known universe And a place beyond the reach of science
