SUMMARY
Black holes that do not acquire new material will inevitably evaporate due to Hawking radiation, leading to a gradual decrease in their mass. This process results in the black hole emitting radiation until it completely evaporates. Upon complete evaporation, significant amounts of radiation remain, indicating that while the black hole itself disappears, its energy persists in the form of radiation.
