Imagine a black hole is like a giant drain in the universe. When things fall into it, they get stretched out, kind of like when you pull a rubber band too tight and it snaps. But sometimes, instead of just disappearing, black holes glitch and send things flying back out again, even after they were gone. This happens because spacetime around them gets all wiggly.
Examples
- A black hole swallows a star, but then shoots pieces of it back out like a cosmic pop-up toy.
- Two black holes orbit each other and then burst apart in a flash, sending light far into space.
- A spaceship falls into a black hole, suddenly, it pops out near Earth as if nothing happened.
