To understand it simply you can say it is an area where everything including light is pulled into it. You can image it as a giant vacuum cleaner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole [nofollow]

Yikes, that was an unfortunate first post!
If you click the blue rectangle that says 'actions' in your post at the top right and then click 'modify' in the drop down you can edit your post.

Has anybody yet found out what a black hole is
and how it works?
It's not like the Bermuda triangle, where things disappear, or yes?

A black hole is an unknown, but that doesn't stop fools from knowing.  Oh about every 5 years black holes become something new. 

Also a black hole is a complete waste of time, as you will never know
