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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hawking radiation
  • Basic knowledge of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics in quantum mechanics
  • Concept of mass-energy equivalence
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Hawking radiation on black hole thermodynamics
  • Explore the concept of information loss in black hole evaporation
  • Study the role of radiation in cosmic background energy
  • Investigate current theories on remnants of evaporated black holes
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of theoretical physics interested in black hole dynamics and the implications of Hawking radiation on cosmic evolution.

TL;DR
Is there anything left after a black hole is done evaporating?
Suppose a black hole isn't sucking in any new material. Then it is doomed to evaporate due to Hawking radiation and become smaller and smaller over time. Is there anything left when it's done evaporating?
