Black hole death

Black holes also experience death like humans but humanity has no chance of witnessing that process.

Although it is likened to giant monsters devouring everything along the way, black holes also age and dissolve like humans, according to Live Science. In the 1970s, well-known theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking discovered radiation black holes , and over time, they would lose energy and die.

This can be explained by the existence of virtual particles present throughout space. Virtual particle pairs will generate, collide and cancel continuously, taking energy to serve existence only lasts a few moments of them. At the edge of the event, each time a pair of particles is produced, one particle will fall into the black hole and the other on the outside so it cannot collide. The outer particle will turn into a free state and start a new journey as a regular matter particle.

The particles escaped carrying radiation, according to Hawking. The process of producing particle pairs and the escape of a particle into the space above causes the black hole to lose its energy in terms of mass loss. In other words, the black hole evaporated slowly.

In essence, "virtual particles" are just a description. According to quantum field theory, all types of particles are associated with a field in space - time. These schools are not just mathematical representations but they do exist and function. The concept of "school" may be more important than "particle" because in many cases, we can only measure the field, not the "particle".

Sometimes schools are spiraling and they go from one place to another. School movement is synonymous with the movement of "particles". With electric fields, we have electrons. With an electromagnetic field, we have photons. For a black hole, when a particle forms, its field can be permanently trapped inside the black hole, or it can appear near the event horizon and escape.

However, calculations show that it is difficult for people to observe the death of a black hole. A mass black hole with the mass of the Sun will last about 1067 years, a very long time compared to the current age of 13.8 billion years. If a black hole is as massive as the Eiffel Tower, it will evaporate in just one day.
