The study of black holes originated at the forefront of theoretical physics. In the early years, researchers such as Carl Schwarzschild and John Michell proposed early theories related to black holes, which were later supported by observational data. This article first dissects the key scientific concepts of black holes - such as event horizons, singularities, and their impacts on the surrounding spacetime; At the same time, it traces the historical evolution of black hole research and presents in its entirety the entire process from "theoretical conception" to "observational evidence". In recent years, with the development of key technologies such as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and gravitational wave astronomy, human research on black holes has witnessed significant breakthroughs: Nowadays, we can directly "observe" the existence of black holes, and by studying the interaction between black holes and matter and other means, we can gain a deeper understanding of the overall evolution of the universe, the evolution of individual galaxies, and the internal structure of black holes themselves.
