Do black holes destroy dark matter?

Best Answers

Dark matter, as far as we know, has no electric charge, nor does it have any of the other quantum numbers (color charge, baryon number, lepton number, lepton family number, etc.) that may or may not be conserved or destroyed as pertains to the black hole information paradox. read more

Black holes feed on all matter and energy, so of course any dark matter that enters the event horizon is included. Of course consumed mass (energy) counters the evaporation, any energy going in, obviously counters the hawking evaporation (energy going out). read more

Dark matter may have turned spinning stars into black holes near the center of our galaxy, researchers say. There, scientists expected to see plenty of the dense, rotating stars called pulsars, which are fairly common throughout the Milky Way. read more

The matter in a black hole isn't destroyed. You are correct in saying that matter is not created nor destroyed, only changes form. Matter is only caught in the gravitational well of the black hole and remains there, changing where it is. read more
