RE: Supermassive Stars That Will Make our Sun look like a Grain of Salt
In less than a second, the core of this star will shrink to its original size, prompting the birth of a black hole, this initiate a cannibalized activity as the black hole starts eating what was formerly VY Canis Majoris, this keeps on happening, an enormous amount of both frictional and magnetic forces are being released. The baby black hole keeps eating the body of the star
I still don't understand the concept of black holes, like it swallows things up but where do these things go, do they just stop existing?
Well, I am not certain anyone or anything has gone to the other side of a black hole and made it back, the closest we've come to the other side of a black hole is in sci-fi fiction novels and more notably, in the movie 'Interstellar'. Nobody really knows what happens beyond the boundary of the black hole called the event horizon (It is where gravity is just strong enough to drag light back, and prevent it from escaping. Because nothing can travel faster than light, everything else will get dragged back also)
You can check out this post by Stephen Hawking alas, where he wrote extensively about black holes.
You can as well watch a sci-fi movie Event Horizon 1997
