Liang hideung (Ing: black hole) nyaéta hiji wewengkon di angkasa nu mangrupa tempat museurna massa anu pohara gedéna antukna ngahasilkeun gaya gravitasi anu kacida kuatna nu temahna moal aya naon waé ogé nu bakal bisa leupas lamun geus ancrub kana event horizonna kajaba ngaliwatan torowongan kuantum. Ngaran ieu mucunghul alatan kanyataan yén radiasi éléktromagnétik (contona cahaya) nu geus asup kana ieu liang, teu bisa leupas deui, cahayana henteu nepi ka panon urang antukna urang henteu bisa nempo éta wewengkon, atawa ngageblég hideung.  Liang hideung bisa kawénéhan lamun aya kajadian interaksi jeung bahan di saluareun sisina nu disebut event horizon, contona ku cara narik gas tina béntang. Gas baris muter katarik ka jero liang, jadi panas nepi ka hawana kacida pisan panasna sarta ngaluarkeun sajumlah gedé radiasi dina prosésna; radiasi ieu nu nepi kana mata urang antukna urang bisa nempo ieu prosés

While the idéa of an object with gravity strong enough to prevent light from escaping was proposed in the 18th century, black holes, as presently understood, are described by Einstein's théory of general relativity, developed in 1916. This théory predicts that when a large enough amount of mass is present within a sufficiently small region of space, all paths through space are warped inwards towards the center of the volume, forcing all matter and radiation to fall inward.

While general relativity describes a black hole as a region of empty space with a pointlike singularity at the center and an event horizon at the outer edge, the description changes when the effects of quantum mechanics are taken into account.  Reséarch on this subject indicates that, rather than holding captured matter forever, black holes may slowly léak a form of thermal energy called Hawking radiation.  However, the final, correct description of black holes, requiring a théory of quantum gravity, is unknown.
