Best Answer

Black holes could be considered self-sustaining in that physical properties are preserved, for example mass, charge, spin. Recent studies yielded the possibility that black holes can interact in a thermodynamic fashion with the universe and emit small amounts of a rather weak radiation (Hawking radiation) which carries energy and thus mass away from the black hole; in this manner they could shrink in size and eventually evaporate entirely. But at the same time they tend to accumulate additional mass through their gravitational field, hence there would need to be an imbalance for the mass not to be sustained.

What can you say about black holes?

Black holes were stars that were so massive that they collapsed on itself. The gravity in black holes is infinite and more you get closer to it, more time gets slower. Black holes suck all matter that is too close. Even light can't escape Black holes.
