How does a black hole disappear?

As Stephen Hawking demonstrated mathematically, black holes can evaporate by emitting what is now known as Hawking radiation. The smaller the black hole, the faster the rate of evaporation. And they can evaporate until they are completely gone.

Has anybody ever seen something disappear into a black hole?

No, because we cannotsee the black hole itself. We can however infer that things are falling in from the massive amounts of energy released from the presumed accretion disks as they get hot from the friction of matter crowding closer together before it can disappear into a black hole.


Can things disappear in space?

Yes. Objects which get too close to a black hole can be drawn into it by its gravitational pull and thereby disappear. Even light can get "sucked in", which is why they are called black holes.


Is there anti matter in a blackhole?

Within a black hole, the distinctions between regular matter and antimatter disappear.


Can a black hole suck itself up?

No, but it will lose all of it's energy and disappear due to hawking radiation.


What happens to a non living body falling in a Black Hole?

it would just riped apart in pieces and disappear


What happens if you get near a black hole?

What will happen depends on how near you get. If you cross the event horizon, you will fall into the gravity well of the black hole and life as you know it will be over. You will disappear from the universe, never to be seen again.


Is there going to be a black hole tomorrow?

The Large Hadron Collider will not create any dangerous blackholes. Even if it does create them, they will immediately disappear.


Did the black hole sucks itself up before it disappears?

A black hole won't "suck itself up". Nor will it suddenly disappear, as the question seems to imply; it will gradually lose mass through Hawking radiation, but that is extremely slow.


Is it possible for a black hole to disappear and if it is how long will the process take?

Yes, black holes slowly evaporate after meeting critical mass or without any planets or star around it


What happens if you throw a pencil into a black hole?

As it gets close it will be torn apart, then when it falls past the event horizon the bits will disappear from our sight.


Do black holes disappear and reappear?

Black holes can nevr be seen in space. Space is black and so are black holes. People can only see black holes because of the light around the black hole. When a black hole is consuming a giant star, you can see the light around the entire black hole. That's when you know that there is a black hole in the middkle of all that light.


Are black holes a way to travel between galaxies?

no, a black hole is a region. With nothing, not even light could escape, is a black hole. Around the black hole, an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The way it is named: the Black Hole, is because "it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics." What many people don't know is that the black hole is divided into 3 parts: the 'singularity', which is in the centre. The 'inner event horizon', which is the point of no return in black holes. After passing the point, light or matter can't escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The matter or light will then disappear. And the 'outer event horizon', is the outer layer of the black hole.
