Do black holes "die" at some point?

Answer 1

Hi. Black holes can 'evaporate' due to Hawking radiation as described above. The process take an enormous amount of time for 'normal' sized black holes, but smaller ones (with trillions of tons of mass concentrated within the size of a proton) may have done so already. What does it look like? Maybe a gamma ray emitter.

Answer 2

I'm no physicist or astronomer, but I love the question. I'll guess that you have in mind one that has exhausted it's area of susceptible matter, so it can no longer 'feed'. And, we'll assume no collision with another black hole. I would say in that case, it would finally die trillions of years from now when its own physical matter decays from the inside out having radiated energy until it own core is dead ash. Or, perhaps its core (a nuclear inferno from 'day one', so to speak) can no longer support the weight of its whole, and finally explodes. I can hardly wait to read the accepted theory.
One further thing, we only know the approximate age of our 'local' Universe. NO ONE can even guess what might be happening in the total infinity of space, trillions and trillions and trillions of light years distant. For the very reason that time and space are infinite, we can only guess.. and, poorly at that.

Answer 3

Black holes can in fact die, by slow evaporation. This process occurs because of the bizarre effects of black holes upon the space just outside of them. Just as matter can transform into energy, energy can transform into matter in the form of particles of matter and anti-matter. When they appear just outside the event horizon, the black hole actually loses mass if the anti-particles falls into it while the matter particle escapes. These emissions are called Hawking radiation after the prodigal physicist, Stephen Hawking who actually has the same job as Sir Issac Newton did three centuries ago. Because of this Hawking radiation, black holes appear to be emitting matter and energy, when in fact it's particles of matter popping out of empty space just outside of black holes. It takes a long, long time for a stellar mass black hole to disappear however. Eventually, when they are completely depleted, they are though to disappear in a flash of gamma rays. In fact they will be around long after all the stars burn out and and the Universe goes dark.

Answer 4

Yes black hole Evaporates
Consider it like a cassette recorder that stores information
When Black hole Evaporate it will return all the store information
In Forms of lights.
It only dies like that BigBang condition

Answer 5

yes
Stephen Hawking proved this
black holes deteriorate after Trillions of years

Answer 6

very very slowly black holes give off material, its called hawking radiation. it would take billions of not trillions of years to happen. so no black holes have died yet because the universe is only about 13.7 billion years old.

Answer 7

Black holes are dead stars, so I dont think that something that is dead can die.

Answer 8

In theory yes. Some day they will run out of stars and matter to"feed" on.
