Black holes are just voids where it bends everything around?

So in order for scientists to spot black holes they look for matter or stuff being absorbed and pulled into it but they say not even light can escape it but if you look at the Black hole you can see distortion and stars on other side by looking at front of it and you can see a plasma ring being absorbed into it so if we can see it then it’s still emitting light and light can escape as our Eyes See light which is all the colors that makes up light and so if we can see it then there is obviously light escaping as if there was not we would not even be able to see or spot a black hole

You're seeing stuff that is outside of the event horizon of the black hole. The event horizon is the point at which the curvature of the universe becomes so great that anything inside of it can no longer escape. This includes light.

The plasma ring you describe is the accretion disk and is formed of gas and other matter in a high speed decaying orbit around the actual singularity. The distortion you describe is caused by the extreme curvature and is an effect that exists outside of the event horizon. This same effect can be seen in the deep field Hubble image where the dense cores of galaxies cause an effect known as gravitational lensing.

As for seeing a black hole, you can't. You can only see the localised effects of it. Very strange things happen close to a singularity including extreme time dilation that would be apparent to an observer. Naked singularities cannot exist.
 
The red ring around event horizon is the black hole other side sort of like looking at a mirror and seeing behind the mirror at the same time
How do we know singularity exists after all time exists whos to say a black hole don’t really suck things in but rather throws them in slingshot around it at speed faster than light sound or even anything math can come up with?

That's not the case. The ring that you see around a black hole is the accretion disk. The event horizon is much closer in, and cannot be seen. Matter does get flung out from the environs of a black hole but its velocity will always be lower than c (the speed of light in a vacuum). Nothing can travel faster than that within the universe. As for black holes throwing things out, well there's Hawking radiation but that's at the sub atomic level and miniscule. Black holes are points of infinite density and infinite gravity within the fabric of space time.
 
I always thought of black holes as a digital computer storage system the more stuff it takes in the less space it has left to keep filling and once full it would die and reverse processes going from black hole sucking things in to blowing things out as a white hole before turning back into a sun

Black hole masses (size is a bit of a misleading notion) potentially range from slightly above 2x10^-8 kg (the Planck mass) to 4.07×10^10 kg (about 40 billion times the mass of our Sun. This is the largest black hole we've found and its mass is close to the theoretical limit. Look up TON618 if you're interested. They don't die although they do 'evaporate' via Hawking radiation and it would take close to the lifespan of the universe for them to do so.

Actually, while black holes can range in mass from slightly above the Planck mass to extremely large masses like 4.07×10^10 kg, they can theoretically be even smaller than the Planck mass. However, such tiny black holes would evaporate rapidly due to Hawking radiation.

I'm pretty sure that the Planck mass is the absolute lower limit for the universe although talking about the universe where singularities are concerned is uncertain... It's entirely theoretical anyway as anything that small would no longer exist due to evaporation by Hawking radiation. The smallest black hole that could still exist would be in the mass range of 1 x 10^12 kg which would have a Schwarzchild radius slightly larger than an atomic nucleus. Just thinking about those numbers gives me a headache lol.

Of course, if you're going to introduce the extra dimensions of M Theory/Brane theory/String theory into the equation then smaller radii and masses may be possible...
 
Black holes don't glow or emit light themselves. They can bend and distort light from objects behind them, allowing us to indirectly "see" them. This distortion creates visual cues like a glowing ring of hot gas, but it doesn't mean light is escaping the black hole itself. So, yeah, we're not seeing the black hole itself shining, but rather the crazy effects it has on its cosmic neighborhood!

Partly correct. We can see the accretion disks surrounding active black holes which are areas of fast moving plasma in a decaying orbit around the event horizon and that's what the radio images of Sag A* and the M87 supermassive black hole are. The distortion effects are separate from this, are examples of gravitational lensing, and produce magnified images of galaxies beyond the black hole itself. These are often seen as arcs of matter.

Thanks for clarifying that. So, the real stars of the show are these fast plasma whirlpools, called accretion disks, swirling around active black holes.
