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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the hypothesis that black holes may create dark matter and dark energy from the matter they consume. It references Tarō Gomi's theory and explores the implications of time dilation in this context. The consensus is that current mathematical models and particle physics, including findings from LHC experiments, do not support the idea that ordinary matter converts into dark matter. Additionally, there is a widely held belief that in the far future, the universe will consist solely of evaporating black holes and low-level radiation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with dark matter and dark energy concepts
  • Knowledge of particle physics and LHC experiments
  • Basic grasp of time dilation effects in relativity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of black hole evaporation on cosmic evolution
  • Study the relationship between black holes and dark matter in astrophysics
  • Examine mathematical models related to black hole thermodynamics
  • Investigate peer-reviewed literature on the conversion of ordinary matter to dark matter
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and anyone interested in the theoretical implications of black holes on dark matter and the future of the universe.

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.
 
Please remember the Physics Forums rule about personal theories and speculation unsupported by publication in appropriate peer-reviewed sources. This thread is closed, as there little to add to what rootone has already said: "As far as I know none of these conjectures or observations lead to the conclusion that ordinary matter becomes converted to dark matter."
