Can dark matter fall into a black hole?

There would be no discernible difference to the appearance of a black hole. Dark matter doesn’t interact electromagnetically – so cannot emit, absorb or scatter light – but it does respond to the force of gravity, so would fall into a black hole in the same way that ordinary matter does.

Could dark energy escape a black hole?

Dark energy can escape a black hole, no matter what size the black hole is and no matter how close the dark energy is to the center of the black hole. This is because dark energy is not affected by gravity at all.

Are black holes dark matter or dark energy?

In March 2005, physicist George Chapline claimed that quantum mechanics makes it a “near certainty” that black holes do not exist and are instead dark-energy stars. In the dark-energy star hypothesis, infalling matter approaching the event horizon decays into successively lighter particles.

Can any matter become a black hole?

To form a black hole, a lot of matter is needed and must be concentrated in a small amount of space. The effect of this point on space-time is to distort it so that nothing can escape from the immediate region, not even light. Since no light can escape we say the region is black hence the name black hole.

How does dark energy escape a black hole?

Dark energy can escape a black hole, no matter what size the black hole is and no matter how close the dark energy is to the center of the black hole. This is because dark energy is not affected by gravity at all.

Is dark matter made of black holes?

Dark matter is a mysterious substance composing most of the material universe, now widely thought to be some form of massive exotic particle. An intriguing alternative view is that dark matter is made of black holes formed during the first second of our universe’s existence, known as primordial black holes.

What does a black hole look like from the outside?

A (neutral) black hole made from protons and electrons, neutrons, dark matter, or even antimatter would all appear identical. In fact, there are only three properties at all that we can observe about a black hole from an external location: and its angular momentum (or intrinsic rotational spin).

How do we know how much dark energy is there?

We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe’s expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68\% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27\%.
