Black Holes
Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes how gravity bends space-time and the light that passes through it. A black hole’s gravity is so strong that when it spins, it actually drags the space around it along. The surrounding material collects and forms an accretion disk, heats up due to friction and emits x-rays. Matter swirling in can be traced by these x-rays and the radiation seen is warped and distorted by particle motions and gravity
