What happens to matter when it enters a black hole?
Can a black hole ever die?
One theory suggests that black holes slowly evaporate over time through the emission of Hawking radiation. As they emit this radiation, they lose mass and eventually evaporate completely, leaving behind only the radiation emitted during the process. However, this process is extremely slow and black holes are expected to live many times the current age of the universe.
