Black Hole

Black Holes are possibly the most interesting objects in the universe, for their extreme distortion of spacetime and their ability to do so while remaining extremely fundamental entities (almost like elementary particles), fully described by three parameters only: their mass $M$, their charge and their angular momentum (spin).

They are discussed in more detail in Lecture 23 of my Modern Physics course of the Wolverhampton Lectures of Physics.
