Here is one, not that you would give a shyte:

They can tell it is a black hole because of the energy emitted by the thing and analyzing the motions of stars in orbit around it. You can orbit a black hole if you are far enough away from the event horizon.
I suppose you don't even believe space can bend, time can bend and light can travel in curved lines of space times. Black holes can absorb light because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light so once inside the event horizon, light cannot escape.
There is a bit coming out, Steven Hawking showed that but mostly light just stays inside as well as anything else that enters the event horizon.
It is you, like the idiots of the 19th century who said it would be impossible for man to fly because he could not stand the tremendous forces on his body flying in the sky.
That is you but in a more modern setting.
It has been proven hundreds of times over that the deeper you go in a gravity field, the slower time flows.
Atomic clocks are so accurate now that they can tell if they have been moved as little as one meter vertically, going up causes the clock to run ever so slightly faster and going deeper causes it to slow down.
The same thing happens if an atomic clock goes, say, in space, the faster it goes, the slower time flows.
Just another phenomena for you to poo poo of course.
Don't worry, I am under no delusion you would believe any of this.
