Is it true that there is a dormant black hole in our universe?

Answer 1

The use of the word dormant when referring to a black hole would mean that the hole is not ingesting new matter. Yes, there are dormant black holes in the universe. It is theorized that all spiral galaxies have HUGE black holes at their center, even our own.

Answer 2

How could you ascertain if there were either kind in our universe? No information can emerge from the attraction of a black hole so we can't really know. What do you mean by a dormant black hole, every thing as expected, ie.normal?

Answer 3

I don't know what you mean by "dormant". A black hole only pulls in what comes near enough to it.

Yes, there is evidence of a black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Some astronomers claim to have seen the energy jets that form at the poles of the black hole. But we needn't fear being sucked in. Everything is still in orbit, and unless something happens to those orbits, nothing will fall into the black hole's gravity well that wasn't already on its way. (Our solar system is halfway to the edge of the galaxy.)

Answer 4

If there's a blackhole in our universe? yes, but are their dormant? no, because blackhole is a star which contain a very very high gravity thats why lights cannot leaves the star and thats why it is "black"

And because of the highly gravity this star have, it makes any objects, material and small moving material in space are sucked to them, yes this is a bit scary cause if we're getting to close to them you gonna get sucked into them that's why this star is describe as "hole".

So there are balckhole in our universe, but it's not so close to the earth at least not yet, therefore we haven't really feels the direct effects of blackholes...

Answer 5

There's no such thing as a "dormant" black hole. Dormant means inactive, but all black holes are very, very active. If they're not active then they're not black holes.
