Question

So, if energy can not be destroyed or created, then what is happening to the matter/energy consumed by black holes?

If black holes destroy energy/matter, then is it created/replenished by something else just as weird as they are...to keep it a constant amount, spewing it back into our universe? Is there such thing as a net amount of matter/energy? And would this amount of energy stay constant as the universe expands or contracts? Not sure of the merit of this last question, but is time or gravity being converted into energy or matter, or something else?...or is that where dark matter comes in?...where it perhaps get converted into the matter we all know and love?

Singularity, i remember now, but now then...does it get belched out or is it stuck like that forever, like universal garbage.

Are there more back holes, when universes are young or contracting, like a storage vessel, allowing the universe to compact?

Answer 1

there's a blackhole in the center of every galaxy in our universe.
some times there are more, usually two BH that orbit each other.

some claim there we're many more BH that formed near the beggning, but some eventually pulled on one another and "consumed" each other finally making larger supermassive BHs.

some people believe that the matter is transported through a quantum level (with the help of the murderous force in the BH)

breaking this quatum level could break thought or rip a hole into other dimensions
(like the center of a BH does to our dimensions, no 3d axis and time should perceptively stand still)

within the dimensions, some believe that white holes can exist, Thats where the "matter" bursts out like a spray basically creating a new big bang in another universe that we can't see or get into (its in the BH).

You might think I sound crazy. I think I do. but I know I'm not crazy, I just might be wrong.
But its beginning to make sense if what I hear is true about String Theory.

Answer 2

A million dollar question. Astrophysicists at NASA are trying to answer that.

Heres a basic outline to the best of what we know today...

Black holes do not destroy matter, they simply condense it due to an enormous amount of gravity. My personal theory is that matter can actually reach a point that to the human scope would be considered infinitely dense. However, I do believe that this is not true, that no mass can actually reach infinite density. It is simply a number too vast and unimaginable for our brains to attempt. Think of it as one man trying to count all the grains of sand in all the beaches in the world. Theoretically it is indeed possible, but incredibly improbable. Same goes for a black hole.

Answer 3

If a black hole could exist anything penetrating the event horizon would be squashed into a singularity at it's center and all the mass and energy converted to gravitational energy.

Answer 4

I believe that black holes must only get stronger as they suck in more material. If it was to suck in an object like our Sun for example that energy and mass must be added to the energy and mass of the black hole.

Answer 5

Black holes don't destroy matter it just goes to the singularity.

Answer 6

I remember i realized this sometime deep in my past but let me try to bring it out to you. Blackholes they are because they couldnt radiate enough light to the stars in their galaxy which if it did- would've been found as quasars. enlightment of the galaxy. If a quasar cant emit enough light to all the stars, eventually its blackhole in its center will suck up the whole galaxy which separates light and matter, real and not real.

Answer 7

Don't worry if you don't know, scientists don't completely know either, right now there are just theories that are a little hard to test considering what a singularity does to observation equipment.

Answer 8

black holes can decay over time. It takes about 10^66 years from what i remember.

Answer 9

not something. it in basic terms gets sucked into the black hollow. it does not disappear. keep in mind a black hollow in basic terms was a famous man or woman. so whilst issues get sucked in, they only get great compressed by way of fact the gravity interior is so good.

Answer 10

It doesn't get destroyed it's just that the matters gets super heated into an infinite point, time, volume, space, a singlarity.
