No. Without matter there would be no black hole. The black holes confirmed to exist so far actually have a fairly large amount of matter (or mass) - at least 2-3 times the mass of our Sun. The largest black holes have millions or even billions of times the mass of our Sun.

What are some theories about the contents of a black hole?

A black hole contains a large amount of matter, compressed in an incredibly small space.


What is the black hole in space?

the black hole is a matter in outer space that is made by the force of gravity


Is the bigbang the direct result of release of matter from a black hole?

No - nothing can escape a black hole - not even light. Black Holes are found in space - the Big Bang didn't happen in space, it created space.


Does the black hole contains water?

No. Matter gets torn apart as it approaches a black hole. The mass itself is a singularity, which has no volume. It is debatable whether or not this can een be considered matter.


How is the term 'black hole' defined?

A black hole is a void in space-time where gravity is so strong that no matter or energy can escape the effects of its force.


What are the black holes called?

black holes The black hole we see is the Event Horizon. Its realy not a hole. Just a spherical region in space where matter ceases to exist.


What is the complete absence of matter?

No, the absence of matter would be a vacuum, which is quite different from a black hole. A regular black hole has a fairly large amount of mass (which is basically the same as matter) in a small space.

How fast does a black hole take parts of space away?

Honestly, space doesn't need a black hole to take space away. Everytime a sun/star dies, dark matter expands. Therefore space is taken away anyways.


What could a black hole do?

Going by Einstein's theories of relativity, black holes warp the fabric of space-time to a severe extent. As matter comes closer and closer to the black hole, the matter is compressed and/or stretched in a process called spaghettification. There is also a worm hole theory which states a black hole will exit in another point in space, different universe, or even a whole new dimension.


Does absolute vacuum exist in a black hole?

No, a black hole contains a lot of matter and thus has a huge gravitational pull. Absolute vacuum doesn't exist anywhere we know of.


What is bigger a quasar or a supermassive black hole?

The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.
