The Black Hole is a community center located in the G 11/3 area of Islamabad, Pakistan.[1] It is a "non-profit, open-to-all educational and intellectual space" with a view to promoting science, art and culture in Pakistan.[2] A project of Mashal Books, it was launched on 5 March 2022[3] with a goal to help all citizens of Pakistan "participate fully in the scientific,[4] social, economic and cultural life of their society".[5]
Throughout the week, live-streamed lectures, discussions[6] and events[7] promoting culture are held in its 60-capacity auditorium. A small library and a science lab specifically designed for children is also one of its key features.[8] The lectures cover a range of topics from hardcore science to socioeconomic ills in the Pakistani society. The main objective of the science lectures is to explain the concepts of "high-science and high-technology in simple Urdu and English".[2][5]
