Ok I am wondering what would happen if an anti-black hole collided with a black hole of the same mass. Would they annihilate and release energy or would it become a more massive or less massive black hole?
This is a little subtle. I originally posted that it was not true that they had negative mass. Actually I think it's more complex than that. On the Penrose diagram for a maximally extended Schwarzschild metric, you have a whole separate universe in which the definition of energy is negated. It's not obvious to me how to apply that to a universe in which both a black hole and a white hole are accessible from the same external space.mfb said:They would need a negative mass, and repel masses, so I doubt that they could merge with a black hole.

A blackhole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. Anti-blackhole annihilation is a theoretical phenomenon where a blackhole and an anti-blackhole (a blackhole with opposite charge) collide and release a burst of energy.
Blackholes are formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity at the end of its life. Anti-blackholes are hypothetical objects that are predicted by some theories, but have not yet been observed.
Currently, there is no evidence that blackholes and anti-blackholes exist in nature, so we cannot say for sure whether they can annihilate each other. This phenomenon is only predicted by some theories, and has not been observed.
If a blackhole and anti-blackhole were to collide and annihilate each other, they would release a tremendous amount of energy in the form of gamma rays, which are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. This process would also create new particles and antiparticles.
While it is theoretically possible for anti-blackhole annihilation to release a large amount of energy, it is currently not feasible to harness this energy for practical use. The amount of energy released would be difficult to control and contain, and the technology to do so does not currently exist. Additionally, the existence of anti-blackholes is still a subject of debate in the scientific community.
