Thanks, Jesse. As indicated, I'm not well-versed in physics and expected others had thought about this and reached conclusions. I didn't know there were different densities of black holes. So, would an evaporating hole become less dense and/or larger? (and I hope Hawking would forgive my typo)

Do black holes "evaporate" or go "bang"? A TV program last night quoted Hawkins saying (in effect) that, because a small amount of matter/energy escapes from black holes, they will eventually just disappear (evaporate). This raised a few questions to my non-physicist mind: (1) Since black...
