Important as dark matter is thought to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive. Dark matter is expected to be very pervasive in the cosmos, and pretty much associated with normal matter. The prevailing hypothesis is that dark matter presence is accumulated consistent mass density; i.e. the more mass density, the greater the accumulation of dark matter.

Note: Dark matter is hypothesized to play a central role in state-of-the-art modeling of structure formation and galaxy evolution. All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole contain far more non-baryonic dark matter than normal baryonic matter.

Would black holes made of dark matter seem different from other black holes?

I think that's unlikely. The only relevant features of black holes are its mass, electric charge, and rotational momentum. What makes dark matter different to baryonic ("normal") matter is that it doesn't interact with normal matter, except through gravity - so it seems that none of the differences would be relevant, once such matter is converted to a black hole.


Are black holes made up of dark matter?

Black holes are not made up of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass, but black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars.


What is the relationship between dark matter and black holes in the universe?

Dark matter and black holes are both mysterious components of the universe, but they are not directly related. Dark matter is an invisible substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass, while black holes are extremely dense regions in space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. While dark matter may influence the formation and behavior of black holes, they are fundamentally different phenomena in the cosmos.


Is dark matter excreted from black holes?

No. Black holes do not give off anything other than small amounts of Hawking radiation. That note aside, scientists do not know what dark matter is or what its origin is.


Is matter being transformed into space by black holes?

No, when the big bang happend dark matter and dark energy came. Dark matter expands space even as we speak.


Assuming dark matter exists is it black holes or in black holes?

Neither, dark matter is an undetectable yet massive existence within our universe. It is spread out relatively smoothly, not bunching up in particular locations. For more information, search dark matter images (computer simulated), they help the visualization of it.


Are black holes made of dark matter?

No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.


What possible forms might the dark matter in the halo of the milky way be in?

Dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way is mostly thought to be in the form of non-baryonic particles, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) or Axions. These particles do not interact with electromagnetic forces and are thus difficult to detect directly. Other possibilities include primordial black holes or exotic compact objects.


Are all black holes made of dark matter?

No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.


Why does the dark matter theory explain the brightness problem?

No light can excape what its caught in the black holes


Do black holes provide the physical force to structure galaxies?

No. The mass, and therefore the gravitation, of black holes, are only a tiny fraction of matter in the galaxies. The greatest part of the matter in a galaxy is dark matter - matter of unknown composition at the time of this writing.


What is in space beside planets and stars?

Galaxies, nebulae, black holes, dust, protostars, dark matter, and so much more we haven't discovered. Oh wait, I forgot neutron stars and super/hypernovas.
