I think the term Black Hole is somewhat of a problem, for a couple of reasons. Firstly we tend to think of black being a colour, this is not really true (IMHO) of the region we call a Black Hole. I believe that it is the absence of all colour (light) that defines the region, thus we use the terms black, but it's the exact inverse. Second, the 'Hole' part also implies that it has a structured beginning and end, I rather think in terms of a region where certain phenomena occurs and doesn't occur with a transitional area between.
Put my way, it's far less exotic and hard to sell to the masses, that's why we use key phrases and words, to describe phenomena we can't comprehend between humans.
So black holes or regions in space that have particular characteristics, it's all the same to me, and your belief based on your imagination is as right for you as anyone else's. In a sense you are a universe unto yourself, thus what you perceive is as true as truth itself. A tad heavy, but it is Sunday night.
