Reply to comment by Inner-Historian-597 in TIL that Napoleon once gave an ornately decorated tiara (a crown) to the pope with 3345 precious jewels inlaid into it. This was actually intended to be an insult, as the tiara weighed 18 pounds and was too small to fit on a human head. by Specific_Success_875

The "wormhole" sci fi depiction of black "holes" as literal holes in space/spacetime is cool, that's probably all there is to it.
Is it generally accepted that they're as you described, not holes but just really dense spheres with gravity so strong even light doesn't escape?
clarification: I am whatever is even less informed than a layman
