Ah, you've an interest in the very large, the very distant, and the very fast. Good. A healthy dose of curiosity never really hurt anyone. While I was at college, I realized just how much I liked the large, distant, and fast and changed my major to physics with a focus in astronomy and relativity. During that time I created two web pages as guides to help myself remember the nifty things I was learning.
The first, on black holes, is an introductory site that goes over the basic features and fun points of objects that are too dense for light to escape. It is not meant to replace a relativity course or slingshot beginners to the point where they may read research articles with ease. It is meant for those who would like some information but do not necessarily want to experience the mathematics behind black holes. If you wish more information, read up on the references I used.
The second, on gravitational waves, is an introductory site to ripples in spacetime itself, a subject more theoretical than the existence of black holes. These signals could give us a better understanding of some of the harder to find members of the universe, such as binary systems with exotic members like black holes and neutron stars. Gravitational waves are extraordinarily faint; thus, they have not, yet, actually been detected. Still, it makes for interesting reading. Again, this is basic information. If you want the details, check the articles I used for references. Interesting
