Black holes are actually pretty well understood. Physics "breaks down" at the singularity at the centre, but the large-scale characteristics of the object are pretty well understood. Objects have been discovered which are almost unquestionably black holes (most galaxies have a super-massive black hole at their core, for example), and which behave (to external view) just as physics says that they should do.
