Does a black hole create dark matter?

Question

I am suggesting that some of the matter "sucked" into a black hole, is turned into dark matter.
Or is there another explanation for where all of this matter goes?

singularity = dark matter?

Answer 1

Black holes tear and rip apart anything close enough to them.
They create nothing, unless you consider the xrays emitted by their destruction of certain objects "creation".

but strictly speaking, the xrays are merely escaping absolute destruction, not being created.

Dark Matter is more of a metaphorical description of a kind of substance that has no physical form as we normally understand it, but has mass and therefore can affect the movements of galaxies.

Dark matter does not exist on planets, but only in the spaces between star clusters.

Answer 2

No...

Dark matter is the missing matter that scientist can't see in space. We can roughly calculate how much matter is in the universe by looking at how much gravity there is. Our calculations are far higher than what we can observe in stars and galaxies. So scientists think there might be a lot of matter that we can see hence "dark" matter out there. It may be exotic or it may not, we don't know.

Black holes, on the other hand, are measureable, albeit indirectly. A black hole forms when a very large star collapses on itself after its burned off all its fuel. The gravity is so powerful, it crushes itself into a single one dimensionary point (singularity). Think of a giant trash compactor and multiply by infinity.

We can't see black holes because the gravity is so strong it warps space to the point that light cannot escape if it gets too close (this is called the event horizon). We can infer the prescence of a black hole by seeing light bend around the event horizon and by looking at the effect of gravity around the black hole.

So you can see that dark matter and black holes have really nothing in common.

Answer 3

I think the matter is compressed and then forces the black hole outwords so it gets bigger, untill it can take no more matter and collapses in on its self to create a vaccum in space.

Dark matter is a myth, it has not been proven to exist and many scintists believe it doesn't. There was a program on BBC 2 a few months ago, prehapes if you go onto the BBC website you might find out about what was said in the program. Allthough there are hudge gaps in space, this I believe to be caused by black holes as I have explained in brief above.

It's just my theory though, I'm not a scintist or anything, just a smart 13 year old in a GCSE course in Astronomy.

Answer 4

Dark matter is theoretical -- that means that we don't know for sure that it actually exist. Black holes does exist we can see the effect of them on other objects being pulled in and light being bended around them.

Dark matter is theoretical because there is some gravitational effect in "open space" which we cannot yet explain. That means that in accordance to the theory the dark matter would exist where nothing else exist. Black hole on the other hands exists where there is lots of matter -- they feed on nearby matter and stars.

Dark matter also differs from black holes in that it does not bend light -- so it has not a highly focused center point of gravity as back holes have.

Answer 5

The black hole itself is dark matter. Since dark matter takes light. The opposited of a black hole is a star which creates light.

Answer 6

Since no object beyond the event horizon of a black hole can ever escape, black holes do not create dark matter. Check out Wikipedia for more information.

Answer 7

Seriously? No... two separate concepts. A black hole is filled with regular old matter, and a lot of it. Dark matter is a theoretical substance that does not emit light, and apparently has different physical properties from normal matter (like it experiences antigravity, which is why the universe is expanding faster and faster rather than slower)

Answer 8

No.
Theoretically speaking, a black hole is a whole bunch of nothing.
NOTHING AT ALL. but the weird thing about it, is that it sucks in everything, so powerful, it cant even be seen.

The only thing that scientists have been able to seen from it, is a black whole "swallowing" another planet or star.

Answer 9

dark matter is the space between interstellar phenomena like stars and nebulas and planets. Black holes are created from certain types of dead stars. Black holes may be a gateway between parallel realities who knows.

Answer 10

It doesn't create "dark matter", the matter just looks "dark" because light can't escape, so there's no light there. Therefore called a "black hole".
