Also note that sending several copies of the question "What is a black hole?"
to Stephen Hawking is a waste of the man's valuable time, shows you haven't done
any research in a real library (highly recommended for students :), and is very
unlikely to be answered. Perhaps you should ask your teacher to rethink this
Internet assignment (I'd be happy to talk to him or her about appropriate types
of Internet research assignments since I've had my students do them with some
success).
