I read that the singularity at the centre of a black hole is always in the future since time slows down to zero the nearer you approach it . So when a black hole evaporates ,at the moment when its mass falls below where gravity overcomes the exclusion principle does the matter in the singularity travel back into our time-frame from the future ?

Let us not forget that all black holes are also absorbing energy too. What you have to figure out from there is whether the black hole has an net increase or net decrease in mass.

hello Pete
I was thinking about the situation where the Black hole has used up all the matter within reach of its gravitational field and from then on seems to have a future of losing mass due to quantum fluctuations (Hawking radiation) I did a search for the answer to this but only found the following

", the black hole gradually shrinks. It turns out that the rate of radiation increases as the mass decreases, so the black hole continues to radiate more and more intensely and to shrink more and more rapidly until it presumably vanishes entirely...
nobody is really sure what happens at the last stages of black hole evaporation: some researchers think that a tiny, stable remnant is left behind."

Hawking himself says "what happens when the mass of the black hole becomes extremely small is not quite clear but the most reasonable guess would be that it would disappear completely in a tremendous final burst of emission"

What it is like inside a black hole is an open question - quantum theory and general relativity are in conflict in this regime.

The appearance of time slowing down is in the frame of an outside observer watching things fall in. These things never get there, as seen by the outside observer.
 
OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
