Finding a black hole to speed up training?

Hello, I've been playing EVE for about a week now and loving it, and I've been exploring space in hopes of finding a black hole to speed up time like in Interstellar. So far I've had no luck and lost many of my ships. I studied the map carefully, however, I can't really understand it.

My one attempt: https://imgur.com/a/BloLm

Any ideas?

Thanks

This smells like troll bait more than anything else.

The only black hole you'll find in EVE is a black hole wormhole status effect. It doesn't slow down time, it just gives you more speed and such. Attribute changes are listed here.
Wormholes don't show up on the map, as those do not belong to known space. You have to scan down wormhole entrances (signatures) and move on from there.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Thanks for the help. I was told to use scanning to find anomalies and with that I was hoping to find a black hole. But the map is confusing and I tried using the 3d map and it's even more confusing.

According to the lore, there is one in Minmatar space called Ginnunagap, but it is not visible to the naked eye. It is a fun geographical curiosity but nothing that affects gameplay.

Wormholes in EVE though have been subject to rumors that they don't actually travel in space, but in time. Going as far as some wormhole systems being perfectly mirrors of other systems in known space.

This is taking Eve is Real to a whole new level.

+1 OP. Hope you find the black hole.

You've been deceived my friend. The black hole doesn't speed up time, it slows down time (re-watch interstellar). It is known as ti-di and I once got stuck in a system with massive ti-di. To me it felt like I'd been in system for 5 minutes, but when I logged off Eve, I found out I'd been playing for 3 weeks, I'd lost my job (for not going in) and half of my plants had died from not being watered.

the black hole is near Konora system.

Quote:
Ginnungagap is a huge black hole at the edge of Minmatar space. It is the largest black hole close to civilized space. The black hole has already rendered several solar systems close to it uninhabitable, but otherwise it is not considered to pose any great risk to inhabited space for the foreseeable future. The black hole can be seen very clearly in the Konora system, located very close to it.

The OP is the black hole.

From a far away observer in an external reference frame, as you approached the black hole, your time would slow down. However, in your local reference frame time would still be running at normal speed, with the rest of the universe appearing to run quicker.

In other words, if you got close to the event horizon of a black hole in EVE, and managed to get away, you'd find that not only would you still have only gained a day of skillpoints, but in the rest of EVE, CCP would would have probably added 50 new skills and ships, and you'd be even further behind than before.
