Albert Einstein wrote the equations showing that mass can curve space.
Soon afterwards, Karl Schwarzchild and Johannes Droste independently showed these equations could, in theory, lead to black holes.
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Robert Oppenheimer showed that there is no physical law preventing gravitational collapse into a black hole.
Quasars -- which were later found to be black holes -- began to be discovered in the late 1950s. In 1962, Maarten Schmidt found that their emissions were far too powerful to be explained by any known mechanism. Similar results began to found with x-ray binary stars.
In 1972, Charles Bolton and others showed that the emissions from an x-ray binary in Cygnus -- known as Cygnus X-1 -- could only be explained as a black hole.

Who discovered the black hole or how was the black hole discovered?
Your use of "the" black hole seems to indicate that you are thinking about one specific black hole. Please clarify which one - there are several known black holes, discovered at different times.
Which was the first black hole candidate to be discovered?
The first strong black hole candidate to be generally accepted from observational evidence back in 1972 was the Cygnus X-1 x-ray binary.
Where is the hole in the ozone layer situated and when was it first discovered?
The ozone hole is mostly over Antarctica. It was first discovered in 1984.
Where were black holes discovered?
1916, Albert Einstein came up with the theory about Black Hole.
How is math related to black holes?
The concept of a black hole was first discovered mathematically in 1916 through the equations of Einstein's general relativity. Using mathematics scientists were able to figure out many of the properties and behaviors of black holes before the end of the 1960s. The first direct psychical evidence of a black hole was not found until the late 1970s.
Who discovered the first black hole Einstein or Karl?

Was the black hole discovered 400 years ago?
No. The idea of a black hole was first proposed in 1783, 230 years ago. The first observations believed to indicate the presence of a black hole were in 1964.
Which was the first black hole candidate to be discovered?
The first strong black hole candidate to be generally accepted from observational evidence back in 1972 was the Cygnus X-1 x-ray binary.
When was the first ozone hole discovered over Antarctica?
The first ozone hole was discovered in 1985. It was a breakthrough.
Did something ever get sucked into a black hole?
Yes. Matter falls into black holes all the time; the first known black hole was the "Cygnus X1" black hole, which was discovered by the X-ray emissions caused by matter being pulled off the companion star and falling into the black hole.
How was the super massive black hole discovered?
Which one?
Where is the hole in the ozone layer situated and when was it first discovered?
The ozone hole is mostly over Antarctica. It was first discovered in 1984.
How is gravity related to black holes?
it is said that there are black holes in space which we have discovered is true and how gravity realates to a black hole is well, a black hole is said to suck away other universes we have not discovered yet gravity pulls things to the ground and a black hole uses that same pull force to suck in universes
Which is the largest black hole?
The largest discovered black hole is a quazar named OJ287, and it has an estimated mass of 18 billion suns! WOW!
Where were black holes discovered?
1916, Albert Einstein came up with the theory about Black Hole.
Name the places where holes were discovered?
Holes, which include black holes and ozone holes were discovered in the space and atmosphere respectively.The black hole was discovered in the space and ozone holes were discovered above the Antarctica.
