Singularity After Black Hole Evaporates: What Happens?

In summary, the conversation centers around the Singularity and its fate when a Black Hole evaporates. It is a major open question in quantum gravity, with two main questions being whether a singularity forms at all and what happens to it when a black hole evaporates.

"Singularity" just means "the place where the math model breaks down and we don't know WHAT is going on", so it it not a "thing" that can be discussed in that way.

This is one of the major open questions in quantum gravity. Actually it's two questions: (1) does a singularity even form in the first place, or do quantum corrections make something else happen instead? (2) if a singularity does form, does it disappear when a black hole evaporates, or leave a "remnant", or something else?
 

FAQ: Singularity After Black Hole Evaporates: What Happens?

What is the Singularity?

The Singularity refers to the hypothetical point in space and time where the laws of physics break down and the curvature of space-time becomes infinite. This is commonly thought to occur at the center of a black hole.

What happens after a black hole evaporates?

After a black hole evaporates, the Singularity at its center will cease to exist. The black hole will gradually lose mass until it reaches a point where it can no longer hold onto its own gravity, causing it to explode in a burst of energy.

Will the Singularity continue to exist after the black hole evaporates?

No, the Singularity will no longer exist after the black hole evaporates. The energy that was previously trapped in the black hole will be released, causing the collapse of the Singularity.

What happens to the matter that was inside the black hole?

The matter that was inside the black hole will be released as energy during the evaporation process. This energy will be released in the form of particles, such as photons and neutrinos, which will then travel outwards into space.

Will the evaporation of a black hole have any impact on the universe?

The evaporation of a black hole will release a large amount of energy, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the universe as a whole. The amount of energy released is relatively small compared to the total mass of the universe.
