People in different cultures all over the world have different systems for family life. In most cultures, people live in extended families in which several generations share the same house. However, in others, the nuclear family is the norm, with only the parents and young children sharing the same house. In the United States, young people are experimenting with still another system of family life: living together without marriage.
If this new system becomes widespread, it could have enormous effects on American society. On the positive side, living together might reduce the divorce rate in the United States; on the negative side, it might lead to the eventual disintegration of the family altogether.

A back hole is a region of space created by the total gravitational collapse of matter. It is so intense that nothing, not even light or radiation, can escape. In other words, it isa one—way surface through which matter can fall inward but cannot emerge.
Some astronomers believe that a black hole may be formed when a large star collapses inward from its own weight. So long as they are emitting heat and light into space, stars supports themselves against their own gravitational pull with the outward thermal pressure generated by heat from nuclear reactions deep in their interiors. If a star eventually exhausts its nuclear fuel, its unbalanced gravitational attraction could cause it to contract and collapse. Furthermore, it could begin to pull in surrounding matter, including nearby comets and planets, creating a black hole.
