That’s the thing about black holes that always blows my mind. I don’t understand how the larger a black hole is, the less dense that it is. In my mind, I always think of black holes as super dense objects containing so much matter in such a little space that the gravity is crazy strong. How can something so not dense be a black hole? It doesn’t make sense to me!
And it has a density of only about 3g per cubic meter. It’s not much denser than a vacuum made with a mechanical pump.
