Black Death
AIDS has infected hitherto 42 million people, of which perhaps 22
million have died.
The "Black Death" - an epidemic of bubonic plague which ravaged both
Europe and the Mediterranean in 1347-1351- killed one quarter to one
third of the population - c. 25 million people. This is the equivalent
of 250 million today. It took 150 years for the population to recover
its pre-epidemic levels.
Scholars believe that the plague emanated from the Middle East through
southern Russia, between the Black and the Caspian seas.
Contemporaries did not use the term "Black Death". They called it the
"Pestilence" or the "Great Mortality". They regarded it as divine
punishment of humanity's sins.

Black Holes
Black holes are extremely dense bodies. Their density and gravitation
are so enormous that it was thought nothing - not even electromagnetic
radiation such as light - can escape them once caught by their
gravitational pull. Hence the "black" in "black holes". This is what
laymen and the media know about them.
Yet, the truth is different.
