All you need is theory of general relativity.
You can get a book on black holes to read upon them yourself and they will make sense.

Yes you can, but you really don't know until you have experienced them, and even what they know about black holes, its not experience its theory, a good theory at that.

Its observable but all the theories about it maybe true or not, its that far away, you can only theories about it. but my whole point is you can never truly know until you truly know, yes there are a lot of good theories, and I am interested in them also, but my knowledge of them will always be that, just knowledge, and not experience.

Do you need to jump into the sun to see what's going on in there?
Or you can accept that hydrogen is fused into helium?

Yes I know through experience that the sun is hot, and what makes it hot doesn't matter to me, its interesting, but it doesn't matter.
