Answer #2: Black holes don't explode. A black hole is not a physical object. It's something humans made up to more easily understand gravitational singularities. All a black hole really is is an infinitely small point of finite mass and extreme density that pulls spacetime down to the point where the curves are so steep that the required speed for escape velocity beyond the event-horizon is faster than light, which is impossible. Simply put, a black hole is not a physical object. It's a point of nothingness that still has mass and density. The way black holes "die" is through constantly releasing Hawking radiation. As it releases radiation, it becomes smaller and smaller until it just evaporates.

Answer #1: i think it will not so dont be afraid

A star doesn't explode into a black hole. For a star to form a black hole, it has to have an incredibly high density. This means that when the star reaches then end of it's life, the density means it collapses in onto itself. It is the density that creates the incredible amounts of gravity and density for a black hole.

Answer #2: Stars do not "explode" into black holes. When a star of 25 or more solar masses (1 solar mass = mass of Sun) runs out of fuel, it can't counterbalance it's own gravity through fusion or electron degeneracy so the star collapses, or implodes. The implosion releases matter and energy. This is called a supernova. If the remnant core is more than 3.2 solar masses after the implosion, the core will fully collapse beyond it's own Swartzschild radius into a gravitational singularity (Infinitely small point dragging space time down. The influence is so powerful that the curves of space time around it cause the escape velocity to be greater than light). So no, stars do not explode into black holes. Stars implode into singularities or black holes

Answer #2: No, black holes do not explode. To correct the first answer, black holes die by constantly releasing Hawking radiation throughout its lifetime. As it releases this radiation is shrinks until it simply evaporates but with the evaporation, it releases a final "burst" of Hawking radiation but by no means is an "explosion." Additionally. a black hole is nothing more than a gravitational singularity. An infinitely small point with infinite density and finite mass. Going by the textbook definition of explode, it never does. It however can release jets of radiation similar to how a pulsar emits jets of gamma rays from their poles.

Answer #1: Yes, Black Holes do explode at the end of their lifetime. They explode into gamma radiation.

human kind has seen galatic explosions for centuries. Scientis cant say for sure if a black hole explode. The way a black hole is portrayed is as a voidless corridor and there is nothing to suggest it can blow. There are scientists that trough analisis they came to a conclution they can explode. Here is the link to the explanation.
There is a theory, put forward by Stephen Hawking which says that a black hole radiates out elementary particles like electrons, protons, neutrinos and such. A black hole is defined by its event horizon, an other name for it would be the point of no return. Once you come this close to the center of the black hole there is no way you can return to normal space: you are doomed.
In quantum theory the vacuum is far from empty, it boils and bursts with an endless creation and absorption of elementary particles. The net result is zero and this is way the vacuum seems to look empty to us.
Hawking asked himself what would happen with this process of creation and absorption at or very close to an event horizon of a black hole. Suppose a proton/anti-proton pair was created close to the event horizon so that the anti-proton would end up in the black hole while the proton would end up outside the black hole.
What has happened ? Well, the black hole has actually last a tiny bit of mass, represented by the exiting proton.
This process happens all the time and if the black hole has not enough influx of particles to withstand this loss it will slowly but surely evaporate all its mass. This can take some time of course, like for a black hole with the mass of our sun it would take 'a number with fifty zeros' years which is a lot longer then the age of our universe.

To the best of our knowledge when something 'enters' a black hole it can never escape.
Black holes can 'evaporate', over a huge period of time, through a process called Hawking Radiation. But it cannot explode.

Yes it can and some do.

In fact many stars can orbit a black hole. Our Galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its centre and over 200 billion stars orbit 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.


Could the universe have started as a black hole that exploded?

No, because (by definition), a black hole is so dense, causing a gravitational so strong, that no matter can escape from it. In other words, no matter can possibly explode out of a black hole. No matter how strong is the internal pressure of the matter within the black hole, the gravitational pull is stronger. Asking, "Can a black hole explode?" is like asking, "Can I blow up Fort Knox with a one centimer, gunpowder fire-cracker?"


Can black holes explode if they suck too much energy?

No. Any energy that enters a black hole simply becomes part of its mass. This only makes the black hole's gravity stronger.


How did the black hole explode?

a black hole won't explode until the universe is almost dead. black holes will be the last thing in the universe just roving aroud searching for something to feed off of then once all energy is gone they die but they go out with a huge explosion. a black hole won't explode until the universe is almost dead. black holes will be the last thing in the universe just roving aroud searching for something to feed off of then once all energy is gone they die but they go out with a huge explosion.


What is bigbang and black hole?

Big Bang: When space started. Gas, dust and rock particles explode from it and eventually forms celestial bodies. Black Hole: When a star dies or loses its brightness, develops into a dead star or a black hole.

1000 atomic bombs explode in spaceis that strong enough to make a black hole?

No, not even close! From what I understand, a Black Hole is formed when a Star dies and collapses into a small object. Exploding a mass into space will not create a black hole.

Is there any star near the earth which can create a black hole?

Betelgeuse is a good candidate at only 430 light years from Earth is has sufficient mass to explode as a supernova and leave behind a black hole. It has been speculated that Betelgeuse will explode (in astronomical terms) fairly soon.
