How do black holes form and die?

Best Answer

Eventually a star runs out of fuel. Nuclear fusion was what stopped the star from imploding on itself. When it DOES implode, if it has a large enough mass, it will collapse into a black hole. (They can also be created at very high-speed collisions, like the Big Bang.)

They can die when vacuum fluctuations create pairs of massless virtual particles. Normally they would annihilate each other (they are antiparticles) but if one is within the event horizon and the other isn't, one will be sucked in and the other expelled outward. That energy used to expel it outward gives it mass, so the black hole loses some mass too. In most cases only low-mass black holes will "evaportate". This is named Hawking Radiation after Stephen Hawking.

black holes white dwarfs or nuetron stars


Do stars ever turn into black?

Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.

What do black holes form?

Black holes are sort of the final stage of stellar evolution; they don't form much else. Two black holes may merge to form a larger one, and after a very, very long time, they will evaporate.


Where did a black hole come from?

Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.
