evaporation of black holes
« on: November 06, 2009, 09:35:37 AM »
what i want to know is if black holes (supposodly) have infinite density, how do they lose it and just disappear?
from almost every explanation of a black hole i've heard, they say that it makes a hole in time-space, but then how can that rip simply fix itself? i think black holes are a lot more complicated than (most) people think. they can't just simply "disappear" i've drawn a picture on paint to show you what i mean.
