Black holes are not infinitely small, the radius of a black hole is the Planck length (1.62*10-35m). The reason, however, for this incredibly small distance is gravity. When large masses (such as those associated with black holes) accumulate, the mass pulls on other mass around it. With such a large mass, the pull becomes very large and all the other mass is pulled in more causing the radius to reduce. This continues to happen as more and more mass is added to the black hole, the stronger the pull and the smaller and smaller it becomes.

What is inside of the black hole?

Nothinness, anything that even goes near a black hole is sucked in and ripped apart by the intence gravity until it no longer exists, this i suppose is why the center of a black whole is infintely small.


How were black holes created?

Black holes are created from something extremely dense in a small space. The most common cause is a supernova.


Will you die off the black hole?

If you pass the event horizon of a black hole, you will most assuredly die. You would either suffocate from a lack of oxygen, be ripped apart by the centrifugal force, you you would be crushed into an infintely small space by the immense gravity.


Why small Black Holes?

You may have caries. Consult a dentist.


Are there galaxies with no supermassive black holes?

It is currently believed that most, if not all, galaxies contain supermassive black holes at their centers. These black holes can vary in size, with some being relatively small and inactive. However, the presence of supermassive black holes in galaxies is a common feature in the universe.


What is so small and massive that the gravity does not even let light escape?

Black holes - and not all are small.


How large are black holes?

Theoretically they can be as large as a small star or as large as a galaxy


What is a black holes atmosphere made out of?

Black holes have no atmosphere, they are entirely empty except for a singularity at the very center containing the entire mass of the black hole in one infinitesimally small point (or if the black hole is spinning, one circular spinning ring of infinitesimally small thickness).


Is the lhc going to make a black hole?

One of the LHC's objectives is to create micro black holes. These holes are so small however, they evaporate into radiation almost immediately.


What are the characteristics and potential implications of primordial black holes in the universe?

Primordial black holes are theoretical black holes that could have formed in the early universe. They are thought to be small and have a wide range of masses. If they exist, they could have implications for dark matter, gravitational waves, and the evolution of the universe.


What is the current scientific understanding of the formation and characteristics of primordial black holes?

Primordial black holes are thought to have formed in the early universe due to fluctuations in density. These black holes are believed to be small and have a range of masses. They are not formed from the collapse of massive stars like regular black holes. Primordial black holes are difficult to detect because they do not emit light. Scientists are still studying these mysterious objects to better understand their formation and characteristics.


What were black holes before they turned into black holes?

stellar black holes were stars (these are large)primordial black holes were pieces of the big bang (these are microscopic)
