Black Holes & Stars: Quantum Entanglement Possibility?

[Antman0115]

TL;DR

Okay so disclaimer; I am not a physicist, i have only loosely looked at different examples of general relativity, super string theory, topology as well as some theories on black holes in my spare time, and i had a question that im not sure was asked/answered.

Would it possible that black holes share a quantum entanglement with stars(such as white dwarfs), and the reason we observe the tunnel closing is the star dies out/explodes? I understand that there are different types of black holes and stars, varying in size and properties of mass/spacial occupancy but it was something that had crossed my mind. Hoping for an answer!

Two points:

1) We have never observed anything that I would describe as a "tunnel closing". Perhaps our best observations are with the Gravitational Wave Observatories - where we see the results of a large Black Hole combining with another Black Hole or Neutron star. The result is that they spiral together until a single event horizon is formed around the entire remaining mass.

2) When a star is trapped by a Black Hole, it is generally torn apart with the remnants forming (or joining) an accretion disk around the Black Hole. Much of the material in this accretion disk eventually makes its way down to the event horizon - but a lot of it is ejected in other ways (see the article).

Black Holes can probably be affected by the entanglement of material they have ingested - but I will let someone else field that part.

What is this "tunnel" you speak of?

Black holes form from the gravitational collapse of sufficiently large stars. They're not entangled with any other stars.

They're entangled in principle.

Why?
