Basically there is no "next stage". Well, it is believed that a black hole will evaporate, but that will take a long, long time.
Unlikely. The universe is a very big place, even next to the largest black holes we know. For a black hole to suck in the entire Universe, it would need to be nearly as massive as the universe itself. There is no way that such a black hole could form.
First you will need a large area of space. Next, you will need a Neutron star that is about to die. You will probably need a planet/star if you want to see a black hole consume it. After getting everything, go far out as you can to watch. The neutron star will expand and strange things will happen. The star will expand. Then two gamma ray bursts will appear at both sides of the star. Soon the black hole inside the star will eat the star up and now you will have a black hole. Then the black hole will eat the planet that you put next to it. It will look weird because the immense gravity of the black hole will alter the light around it. The planet/star will be a line. Run away as fast as you can unless you want to die.
Nothing known is denser than the densest of neutron stars except a gravitational singularity (Black hole). The upper limit of the inward pressure a neutron star can handle before further implosion is dictated by neutron degeneracy pressure. However, theoretically (Not yet observed but probably out there) the next step would be a quark star, that is, a star that is held from implosion by quark degeneracy pressure. Then the next stage would be a black hole. Technically there is yet another stage in between a qaurk star and a singularity called preon degeneracy prssure but the preon models are too flawed to even consider.
First of all, every black hole has the same size ... its length, width, height, radius, depth, diameter, area, and volume are all zero. What varies from one black hole to another is their mass. Next, black holes don't reach out and grab things that happen to be passing by. Outside of the hole's "event horizon" it has the same influence as any other object with the same mass. Other bodies that pass a black hole at a distance at which they're moving slower than escape velocity will settle into orbit around the hole.
There are several ways of looking at this matter. First, the black hole itself has an indeterminate size; we cannot know what the diameter is. Second, the size would depend on the mass of the black hole. Third, the only "size" (as in physical size) that might seem to have any meaning would be the size of the Event Horizon, which is much larger than the black hole itself might be. Finally, we're not sure whether the question has any real meaning. Even Stephen Hawking is reconsidering the concept of "black hole" and he now says that black holes, as previously understood, do not exist. So the matter is up in the air. Ask this question next year, and we may have more information.
Many theories have come into existence. The recent one is the hyperspace which states that our universe is like a 3D event horizon of a 4D black hole. So the 3D black holes in our universe there are 2D event horizons consisting of 2D universes. Now a black hole is a hole in the fabric of space-time. So actually it is the last stage itself. Its like the hole in a bathtub or the sink from where all the contents escape to somewhere else.
Not really, but in a Galaxy next to the milky way there is alot of activity and possibly a black hole.
We believe that the nearest black hole is V616 Monocerotis, which is about 3500 light years away.
Most likely not. The chances of our solar system encountering a black hole even in the next few billion years is quite small.If there were a black hole on its way, though, we would not know about it.
Just click on the transitions tab under the window next to the trimming window
Obviously it is possible, but in the short term - or even for the next billion years or so - it is extremely unlikely for Earth to collide with a black hole.
the next stage of a white dwarf is the black dwarf which is form when the degenerate electron slowly cools down by thermal radiation but the time required for a white dwarf to become a black dwarf is bigger than the current age of universe so the evidence of a black dwarf isn't found yet

Next to the washing machine. It's fallen into the black hole behind the microwave.
I'm not sure what you mean, but in luminescence, the crab nebula trumps black holes infinitely. However, if the two met, the black hole would still be around the next day.
most likely in a long time but scientist are detecting black holes coming closer to earth.
No. The nearest one that we are currently aware of is about 1,600 light years away.
