Is it possible that black holes create dark matter/energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the possibility that black holes could create dark matter and dark energy from the matter they consume, suggesting that inflation might slow when supply is low. It references Tarō Gomi's theory humorously while questioning the role of time dilation in this process. The conversation highlights the uncertainty surrounding what happens to matter drawn into black holes, noting that current conjectures and mathematical models do not support the idea that ordinary matter converts to dark matter. A widely held opinion suggests that in the distant future, the universe may consist solely of black holes, which will eventually evaporate, leaving behind low-level radiation. The thread concludes by emphasizing the importance of peer-reviewed sources in discussions of personal theories and speculation.

Wondering if it's possible that black holes create dark matter and dark energy from the matter and energy they consume. Then, inflation might slow when supply is low. This would support author Tarō Gomi's theory that "everyone poops." What role would time dilation play if that's what's happening? Lastly, do black holes evaporate once their surrounding galaxies have been completely pulled in or do they remain?

Nobody knows in any detail what happens to matter that has been drawn into a black hole.
There are various conjectures mostly based on math which is known to be incomplete, and to a lesser degree on particle physics that we do know about, for example results from the LHC experiments.
As far as I know none of these conjectures or observations lead to the conclusion that ordinary matter becomes converted to dark matter.

On your last point, one fairly widely held opinion is that in the unimaginably distant future there will be nothing left in the universe other than black holes which will over an even more unimaginably long time evaporate, after which the universe consists only of a sea of extremely low level radiation.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
