I'm going to jump in and perhaps contiversially answer this one.

Yes.

They cannot be destroyed in the traditional sense, ie blown apart, melted, frozen or even annihilated with antimatter but they can 'die' and, indeed, must all eventually disappear. Black holes were once thought to emit nothing of any kind, hence the 'black' part of black holes but, recently, this has been proven false. To completely understand how, a little background on the vacuum of space is needed.

Like the black hole, recent theories have changed how we look at the vacuum. It is no longer considered a void of nothingness, it is a sea of particles that spring into existence in negative and positive pairs, exist for a tiny fraction of a second, then annihilate one another. They are called virtual particles and, despite throwing the nature of the universe almost on its head (and just about breaking the first law of thermodynamics), they have been proven to exist and are now a part of mainstream quantum physics.

Now, these particles exist as pairs of one positive energy particle, and one negative energy particle. They pop in, are attracted to each other, meet and annihiate. And everyone is happy; they could just about be ignored. But when they come into being near a black hole, it can grab the negative particle before it can destroy itself, pulling it into the event horizon from which there is no escape. The positive particle, counting its blessings and graduating from virtual particle to real particle, escapes the black hole as part of what we call Hawking radiation. And it gives the 'black' hole a healthy little glow.

But the negative particle isn't so lucky. the process is extremely complitcated but, with its partner gone and its destruction inside the black hole inevitable, the negative particle also becomes 'real' in a sense. And that sense is its ability to act upon the universe, specifically the black hole. Though there is virtually nothing that can affect a black hole, except to make it larger, the negative energy particle can and it strikes the singularity, disappearing and taking a tiny amount of energy with it.

In large black holes, this process is next to negligable. It would take far longer than the lifetime of the universe to destroy even a small black hole. But for the micro ones, this process can be much quicker, and if they can't find a constant stream of matter to replenish their lost energy they will quickly shrink and evaporate. Even in the large ones their fate is sealed; though it will take incredible peroids of time all black holes are destined to evaporate in this manner.

That is why I said it was possible to destroy a black hole. The trick is not to attack it, but rather to ignore it. You cant kill a black hole by shoving stuff in, you'lll just make it larger and stronger. But you can destroy a black hole by starving it and, if it was possible to artificially produce these negative energy particles, they might be an effective weapon against an object that was, until recently, thought impervious.

There is no known way to destroy a black hole.

Stephen Hawking beleives that Black holes will "evaporate" over time, losing mass until there is not enough gravity to maintain the black hole.

Theoretically, a black hole can destroy anything.


What is going to happen when the black hole destroy the universe?

Well if it DOES happen and a black hole DOES destroy the Universe, then we won't be around to worry about it.


Can you destroy the black hole?

Yes the black hole can be destroyed. However, man-made objects cannot resist the gravity without getting sucked in. The only thing that can destroy a black hole is time in a process called Hawking Radiation in which the black hole evaporates over time. The smaller the black hole, the faster the process.


Do black holes destroy hypergiants?

Black Holes can destroy anything in their path. Only when the 'Hypergiant' is within range of the Black Hole.

What can destorya black hole?

In general, nothing. Another black hole could swallow a smaller one, if it's small enough it would destroy itself, but anything else would lose to the black hole.


Can nuclear weapons kill a black hole?

No. A black hole is a dead star that slowly is gathering anything it can pull. A nuclear weapon would be expected to act on a regular set of rules and situation (surface of a planet.) A nuclear weapon can destroy things coming close to the black hole, but not the black hole itself. The whole reason a black hole is so strong is it is a star that fell into itself - folded inwards likes a moebius strip; launching missiles into the black hole would only 'feed it.' According to our present technology and science, you cannot destroy a black hole, they are already the most 'destroyed' you can be.


Is the biggest quasar able to destroy the biggest supermassive black hole?

Yes. Hypergiant stars are very large but also have very low densities. The radiation pressure from a quasar is enough to destroy such a star.

Can a humongous star like a blue giant destroy a black hole?

No, the black hole will swallow it because it's gravity is much stronger than the blue giant star.
