by Liekgj Hurryth Member since:June 03, 2011Total points:133 (Level 1)Since a black hole is generated by a star of masses billions times the sun as they approach their end and go supernova and collapse.Due to the gravitational force being inevitably strong, nothing; not even light, can escape. Thus over a period of millions yet billions of years it will continue to suck in everything around it and keep other objects orbiting around their event horizon at which you cross that point - there is no return.... As a result, the black hole will be getting larger and emitting more light from the event horizons peak. This is how physicists detect black holes as they cannot be seen due to being black and emitting no light, so we observe the wobbles and orbits of the surrounding objects. Once a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing additional matter and any black hole will continually absorb gas and interstellar dust from its direct surroundings and from cosmic background radiation. This is the initial process through which supermassive black holes seem to have grown. Super-massive black holes can get real big - it could be as large as the width of our solarsystem, doubled. hope this enhances your knowledge in black holes. :)
