The history of black holes is an evolution both science and imagination. Although the physicist, who coined the term ‘black hole’, was John A. Wheeler in the 1960s, A. Einstein first predicted the existence of black holes in 1916 with his theory of General Relativity. For many years, black holes have been considered as a pure mathematical construction in General Relativity. The possible existence of black holes has always fascinated and perplexed scientists. In fact, black holes are among the most fascinating predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Today, we have indirect evidence for black holes, because they do not emit any electromagnetic radiation. However, Einstein's theory of General Relativity tells us that they must emit gravitational waves. The detection of gravitational waves from cosmic inflation - if confirmed — may open a new chapter in cosmology. The idea ...
