...Unless it's fiction. Sometimes they just suck in everything around them like giant [[Space X|space-vacuum-cleaners]], seeing as [[Gravity Sucks]]. Also, commonly, a black hole will be represented as an actual hole in space, and it's perfectly possible to enter a black hole and leave it safely. Relativistic time dilation tends to be ignored; a character voyaging into a black hole can leave it without time warping, while those outside can see things enter a black hole without slowing to a crawl. Hovering black holes are often seen as weapons.

When the black hole is used as a method of travel, see [[Our Wormholes Are Different]]. For actual information on black holes, see [[Useful Notes/Black Holes|the UsefulNotes article on Black Holes]].

* [[wikipedia:Hawking radiation|Hawking radiation]]. It it's true -that seems likely-, black holes would emit radiation when their temperatures were higher than that of the environment (ie: the one of the cosmic microwave background), shrinking in size and mass and emitting more and more energetic radiation to the point that during their final moments, they'd seem to shine.
** The final fate of the black hole is unclear, but most likely they'd disappear in a giant explosion, leaving perhaps a small remnant. Note, however, this process would take a ''[[Time Abyss|very]]'' long time, much larger than the current age of the Universe, at least for stellar-mass black holes and above.
* Given that modern physics have trouble to describe aspects of black holes like the existence of a singularity with infinite density and temperature in their centers, other alternatives like [[wikipedia:Fuzzball chr(28)string theorychr(29theory)|Fuzzballs]] have been suggested. In this case, a black hole would be a conglomerate of strings (no, not that ones) and everything fallen there would be disassembled into its component strings that would become part of the black hole.
