Well, it’s difficult to answer this question, since the terms (that/which) we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate （a. ）不适当的）here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape ---- not even light. So we can’t see a black hole. A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space -- or so we think. How can this happen? 1. exert: vt. 尽（力）；发挥（威力）；施加（压力）；产生（影响）；行施（职权）书例句：见书 P34. 2. or so we think : 我们就是这样认为的。
