Yes - The dense nature of a black hole rearranges and transforms matter into energy. In fact, even before matter crosses the threshold of the black hole's event horizon, the accretion disk of a black hole provides for a formidal barrier. Despite its invisible interior, the presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter and with electromagnetic radiation such as light. Matter falling onto a black hole can form an accretion disk heated by friction, forming some of the brightest objects in the universe.

It sucks it in and packs it into a great big ball of extremely dense matter which is why everything is pulled into it in the first place.

Could a black hole destroy a blue or white star?

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.


What happens when nothing goes into a black hole?

The Black Hole will explode because the gravity of a Black Hole is formed by the matter that is in the process of going intothe Black Hole, and not that matter that has already gone inside.


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.


Could the theory of dormant black holes truly exist if a black hole isn't sucking in matter that it musnt be rotating if it isn't rotating how could it even exist?

The rotation is not related to the black hole's ability to attract matter. The attraction depends only on the black hole's mass.The rotation is not related to the black hole's ability to attract matter.

What is inside of a black hole?

All the matter that collapsed into the black hole, as well as any matter that fell into the black hole after the initial collapse. The only distinguishable part of such matter is its mass - any structures of matter, even atoms, get destroyed.


What does a black hole do with what it suck in?

The material sucked in to a black hole becomes part of the black hole - that is, a black hole crushes matter to an nearly no size, at all.


What is an active black hole?

An active black hole is a black hole that it by all manner of terms is "feeding". That is, it is accreting matter, or sucking matter into itself. Most black holes are dormant and don't show any signs of accreting matter.


What happens after entering a black hole?

Any matter that enters the black hole will be destroyed. Also, it will increase the black hole's size.


How can you say there is a black hole?

You can't see the black hole but you can see its inflence on its environment. (You can see matter that is sucked into the black hole)


Does the hole in a black hole expand the older the black hole gets?

No. If no matter enters a black hole it will actually slowly lose mass and shrink via Hawking radiation. A black hole will gain mass if matter fals into, which will cause the event horizon to grow.
