I have been reading several definitions of what a black hole is, how it is formed etc

But the people who wrote the explanations either know nothing and are trying to make it seem like they do, or they have no idea how to speak English using huge words that only physicist would understand and not 99% of the worlds population.

So could anyone explain just these few things to me without using unnecessary 'smart' words.

What is it?

What happens if something goes into one?

How is it formed?

I seen pictures of it in space and it just looks like a hurricane/cyclone cloud system, but some other sciency 3d picture showed it as a pure black bubble..

No one knows for sure, because to know the answer to those questions we would have to literally fly out to one to see, but even that is subjective, because they are supposedly invisible to the naked eye. We only know they exist and eat light and possibly eject it somewhere else.

They're found at the center of almost every galaxy, and the singularity is about as small as an atom w/ infinite mass. The event horizon, or the point of no return is the area where nothing but negative particles escape as Hawking Radiation (Guess who found it) The only way we can see them is due to the matter surrounding them and being ejected, and their effect on close stars. They're formed by large stars that collapse in on themselves, and probably from the aftermath of the big bang.

Have they ever sent something into one of them? If so what happened?

No.. we could start now and itd get there in a few light years. The sat going for Pluto still wont reach it until like 2015 i think. We sent it a few years ago.
