@johnldeboer: Black holes keep nomming on things, which is not the case with suns/stars unless things collide with them. Our best mathematical models, as per the late Prof. Hawking, is that black holes will evaporate rather than 'splode.
Research continues.
see: Sir Roger Penrose
He has published some work recently on that very topic.
Others have as well. Also, yes, cosmologists and astrophysicists have made (or mayhaps I should say proposed) distinction between a black hole singularity and the type of singularity thought to be the start of yonder Bang.
@thedisasterautist Earth will be long gone before Hawking’s theory can be proved. 😉 I have trouble with the singularity theory of the start of the universe. No one can define, without using infinite as an adjective, what a singularity is, and astrophysicists maintain that at the heart of every black hole is a singularity. Must be a different kind of singularity than that which started the Big Bang, I guess. Or maybe every black hole will eventually have a Big Bang and create a universe.
