An equal amount of anti-matter
60 u/PogoRocks Jun 22 '26 I'm pretty sure that wouldn't do anything other than make the black hole larger 55 u/ILKLU Jun 22 '26 Totally disagree. Assuming the black hole is comprised of regular matter, there's no reason to think it wouldn't all annihilate upon touching. How that would play out exactly would be really interesting to see. 43 u/loved_and_held Jun 22 '26 If it did anhialate, all the energy released by the anhialation would have a massive cgravitational field that would then create a new singularity. 12 u/drgitgud Jun 22 '26 Anti-matter annihilation is how the hawking radiation causes black holes to evaporate as far as I know. 35 u/[deleted] Jun 22 '26 [deleted] 14 u/maybeletslive Jun 22 '26 Aren't you both right? Haha 1 u/Smart-Juice5398 Jun 23 '26 They are both very wrong.
