Where does all the energy in black holes go?

The temperature inside of a black hole is almost absolute zero, so particles inside a black hole have almost zero motion. So if they don't give out any heat or light, where does all the energy it ...

What if black hole is perturbed and it is far from being spherical/symmetric? Can it still sustain a singularity?

Black holes are generally the considered as the most symmetric astrophysical bodies in the Universe. If an intermediate mass black hole consumes a nearby red giant and in the process, for a very short ...

Black holes: where is its mass? In a singularity or on the horizon?

The entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole is located near the horizon, and the moment of inertia of a Schwarzschild black hole is $MR^2$. Both aspects imply that the mass of a Schwarzschild black hole ...

Schwarzschild Naked Singularity Creation

In the Schwarzschild metrics (Plank units): $$ds^2=-\left(1-\frac{2m}{r}\right)dt^2+\left(1-\frac{2m}{r}\right)^{-1}dr^2+r^2\left(d\theta^2+\sin^{2}\theta d\phi^{2}\right),$$ we can have a Black Hole (...

What happens to a photon when it enters a black hole?

The photon has a mass of 0, but it has energy because of its motion. When it is sucked into the black hole and becomes a singularity, it loses its energy because it is no longer moving. It is not ...

Temperatures at extreme densities

Cosmology (and astrophysics) talk about the "initial singularity" (IS, became the big bang) and "black hole singularities" (BS, inside black holes), and these appear to be quite different: The IS is ...

What happens when a black hole dies?

Does it just vanish into space leaving nothing behind or does it expel some material? Also, talking more about black holes, as far as I understand the term "temperature", it is defined by ...
