Best Answer

An object becomes a black hole when its density is sufficient that the volume it occupies is smaller than its Schwarzchild radius. Typically this might happen when it has sufficient mass that it collapses under gravitational influence, and most commonly this is believed to be associated with events in stellar evolution, for example at the end of a massive star's life when its fuel is exhausted and it no longer has sufficient outward pressure to compensate for the inward pull of gravity. However, in theory any amount of mass could form a black hole if it achieved sufficient density; for this reason it is believed that microscopic black holes could be formed in highly energetic particle collisions. It's possible that cosmic rays with sufficient energy briefly create black holes, or that they could be artificially created in a particle accelerator in a collision involving significant energies.

Could your universe become a black hole?

No. Since the black hole is a part of the universe it would be physically and logically impossible to suck itself into itself.

When an object enters into a black hole where will the object exists?

When an object enters the black hole ,the object will not exist instead it will be drawn in and it will be emitted as X rays as it collides at high speed outside the event horizon.


Is it true once an object has been sucked into a black hole it turns into a lumpy paste?

No. Once an object is pulled into a black hole, it is converted into gravitational energy.
