Are Black holes the Ultimate end of the Universe as we Know it?

In other words, if Multiple Super Black Holes can Consume entire Galaxies and All light within, wont they eventually, consume everything with Mass and Blot out the Entire Universe as we Know it?

And What happens when 2 Black holes consume each other?

  1. No.  Eventually, even Black Holes will dissipate and the universe will just be a soup of sub-atomic particles.

    .


  2. Assuming black holes could consume everything in the universe, black holes loose mass due to Hawking radiation.  This is extremely slow, 1.2 x 10^70 years for a black hole 20 times the mass of the Sun but none the less allows for matter after the black hole.

    When two black holes collide immense gravitational waves are produced with a new black hole who's event horizon has grown but who's singularity is still a singularity.  The event horizon has a radius of 3km per each solar mass of mass of the black hole.


  3. A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull after having fallen past its event horizon. The term "Black Hole" comes from the fact that, at a certain point, even electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible light) is unable to break away from the attraction of these massive objects. This renders the hole's interior invisible or, rather, black like the appearance of space itself.

    Despite its interior being invisible, a black hole may reveal its presence through an interaction with matter that lies in orbit outside its event horizon. For example, a black hole may be perceived by tracking the movement of a group of stars that orbit its center. Alternatively, one may observe gas (from a nearby star, for instance) that has been drawn into the black hole. The gas spirals inward, heating up to very high temperatures and emitting large amounts of radiation that can be detected from earthbound and earth-orbiting telescopes.[2][3][4] Such observations have resulted in the general scientific consensus that—barring a breakdown in our understanding of nature—black holes do exist in our universe.[5]

    The idea of an object with gravity strong enough to prevent light from escaping was proposed in 1783 by the Reverend John Michell[6], an amateur British astronomer. In 1795, Pierre-Simon Laplace, a French physicist independently came to the same conclusion.[7][8] Black holes, as currently understood, are described by Einstein's general theory of relativity, which he developed in 1916. This theory predicts that when a large enough amount of mass is present in a sufficiently small region of space, all paths through space are warped inwards towards the center of the volume, preventing all matter and radiation within it from escaping.

    While general relativity describes a black hole as a region of empty space with a pointlike singularity at the center and an event horizon at the outer edge, the description changes when the effects of quantum mechanics are taken into account. Research on this subject indicates that, rather than holding captured matter forever, black holes may slowly leak a form of thermal energy called Hawking radiation.[9][10][11] However, the final, correct description of black holes, requiring a theory of quantum gravity, is unknown.

  4. hmm.. nice thinkin'.but  srry i got no answer.

  5. Just like every other body that has a large amount of gravity in the universe. Objects can exist in sustainable orbits around black holes (albeit very large orbits). Among possible theories of the "ultimate fate" of the Universe, there are many. Heat Death is one such theory what you are referring to has been theorized before most closely as what is called the "oscillating universe theory". Where eventually the Universe stops expanding and it's own combined mass draws it in on itself, into a single point of infinite density. Where upon the "big-bang" cycle is presumed to start again. All ideas of what will happen to the universe are entirely theoretical at this point, and besides that all of us and mostly likely the entire human species will be gone by that time... especially if we continue to have the same priorities we do now.

  6. who knows for sure? maybe that is how alternate universes are made?

    it would suck it up not blot it out,possibly be turned into different dimensions?

    you get antimatter.

  7. No. But I'm the end of the world if I walk trough the park and someone says something wrong to me, this someone should better run, could be bloody.  ;o)  

    Huston we have all thumbs down. That's the end of the world.

  8. Obviously black holes can absorbe all the object close

    but not all the universe,
