Does gravity get destroyed in a black hole ?

AI Thread Summary
Gravity is not destroyed in a black hole; it remains a fundamental force within and around these cosmic entities. The Higgs mechanism is responsible for the mass of fundamental particles, but Higgs bosons themselves are unstable and decay quickly, having little impact on the overall mass in the universe. The expansion of the universe, initiated by the Big Bang, is driven by dark energy and is unrelated to black holes or the Higgs boson. Therefore, the idea that gravity diminishes over time due to black holes is incorrect. Overall, black holes do not affect the total gravity in the universe.

Does gravity get destroyed in a black hole ? If the Higgs particle creates mass in the universe and higgs are destroyed in a black hole, then the total gravity in the universe must diminish over time , hence the universe expanding ?

Gravity exists insides a black hole.

The expansion of the universe was caused in the big bang (but NOT as an explosion, in case you have that canard in your head) and the acceleration of the expansion is caused by what is given the place-holder name "dark energy" because we don't know what it is, just what it does.
 
Gravity is pretty much the only thing which a black hole does NOT destroy.

It does not.

The higgs mechanism (not the particle) is responsible for the rest mass of fundamental particles. The mass of composite particles and systems of objects is a combination of this type of mass plus the energy inherent in the system.

Higgs bosons are unstable and decay almost instantly. They do not exist in nature in any significant quantity.

Certainly not.

The universe is expanding, but it has nothing to do with black holes and higgs bosons.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
