What is an energy regime?

What happens to black holes how much energy do they contain?

• What happens to all the energy that black holes consume? They must contain a massive amount of energy seeing that they eat up all the light and matter and energy that gets to close. What happens to this energy? Does the energy eventually cause the black hole to cease to exist? The reason a black hole is created is when the star starts to fuse iron and that takes energy. This in turn causes it to collapse in on it's self as it gobbles up the energy. If over millions or billions of years the Black Hole eats up enough energy will that energy destroy the singularity?

• Answer:

  Black holes evaporate! When a black hole is not Active (meaning they are not consuming stars and other stellar objects) the black hole actually releases more energy than is being consumed. This is called Hawking Radiation. When particles escape, the black hole loses a small amount of its energy and therefore of its mass (mass and energy are related by Einstein's equation E = mc²). So the energy is eventually released in Gamma Radiation (high energy photons). Yes, the reason a black hole is created is because a high-massive star collapses on itself because it cant hold up against gravity. The star collapses into a single point with infinite mass. Since mass attracts more mass, its gravity pulls in more and more. The thing is, when you say "If over millions or billions of years" you are forgetting how gravity affects time. To put it simply... More Gravity=Slower Time Less Gravity=Faster Time So, as you know inside the singularity there is infinite density (mass divided by volume), this creates infinite gravity. Infinite gravity = Time Does Not Exist ! Therefore in fact, black holes have existed forever and will always continue to exist. But since we are not inside the blackholes singularity, time occurs differently, which is why we see it's death...Evaporation. I do apologize if I did a huge mind-phunk. Blackholes are a complicated subject. I hope I shed some light on it though, oh wait, light doesnt exist in a blackhole either.... ;)
