Will Black Holes destroy the universe and eventually cause another big bang?

Um...  No and Yes?\n\nThe Universe has infinate volume.  Most of this volume is empty...\n\nA Black hole has no more gravity than the star and matter that has fallen into it, so never fear that everything is going to be pulled into a single super Singularity...\n\nAs to it eventually causing another "Big Bang"...  How do we know that a "Black Hole Singularity" is the "Big Bang Singularity" of another universe?\n\nBlack Hole Theory states that a Black Hole is so massive that it gives space infinite curvature...\n\nPresuming that the multi-dimensions discussed be the Super String Concepts exist...  \n\nThen how do we know that this infinate Curvature does not extend to an infinate volume of other spacial dimensions? \n\nOr rather...  Give thought to the possibility that a Black Hole Singularity is the "Big Bang Singularity", and that our entire universe of infinate space may exist in the Black Hole in another Universe that uses diferent spacial Dimensions...\n\nThere's no evidence either way...  So to answer you question which askes for definate answers that no one can give definately, let me say...\n\nProbably not but Maybe yes...  But Maybe yes but not really...  8-)\n\n"There is more to Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy Horatio"  -Shakespeare

The mathematics of black holes shows that they might be able to transport you to another region of space or possibly another universe. However, the mathematics also shows that the connection only lasts for a fraction of a second at a time, and that the link to other universes depends on a specific set of conditions which scientists do not believe to exist. Even if it were likely, however, the strong gravity field of the black hole tears apart any material falling into the hole so it would not come out the other end of the Black Hole looking anything like how it went in, so in other words you would  have to really want to make this discovery because you’re going to die trying.

I believe there are two kinds of black holes. One I'm sure everyone will explain to ya, a great mass so large that light can't even escape it's gravity. But the other kind is theoretical: What if everything in THIS universe came from somewhere else? That is the only way I can explain it, except that somehow we are all headed for it again, to be sucked into it and expel ed into another place which right now is completely void, and this universe would be turned inside-out again.

"...Does the black hole continue to increase in mass and increase the gravitational affect?..."\nWe haven't been studying black holes long enough yet to determine if their mass does increase from all the material being drawn in. Theoretically it would.\n\n"...does all that stuff get shot out in another direction?..."\nExactly what happens to material that disappears beyond the event horizon of black holes isn't known for sure because there's no way science can observe what goes on there. A few speculations persist about so-called  'white holes,' the drain of black holes where everything re-appears in another universe or dimension.\n\n"...Do black holes ever die? And if so, what happens to them?..."\nAgain, science doesn't know because the observational evidence just isn't there. However, Stephen Hawking has developed a workable theory showing that over great lengths of time black holes can actually radiate some of their energy and in time would evaporate.

Fun stuff, this gravity question. One of the leading hypotheses of the past was that the expansion of the universe would eventually slow, and gravity would then pull all mass back together, resulting in another singularity, and a recurrence of the big bang. \n\nRecent evidence says that this isn't happening. Instead, as the universe expands, the gravitational pull will approach zero. The consequence of this new hypothesis is that the universe will eventually spread itself into nothingness, and as the stars fade and run out of fuel, the universe itself will fade away into cold and darkness. Not that it's something we have to worry about anytime soon.

Nobody really knows for sure.\n\nThere's a theory that the universe is expanding in a spherical shape and will continue to expand until it reaches maximum entropy. At that point all of the energy and matter in the universe will be equally distributed and the universe will no longer be able to support life.\n\nThere's another theory that the universe will expand (again, roughly in the shape of a sphere) until all of the galaxies exhaust their kinetic energy. At that point the universe will begin contracting. When the contracting is complete a singularity containing all of the mass in the universe will form and explode in a big bang.\n\nIf you think about it, if the latter theory is true then it's possible that the universe has expanded and collapsed an infinite number of times in the past!

Yes, but not one that you could appreciate.\n\nAs you approach a black hole you would be ripped apart on a molecular level.\n\nThen, after you got in there in several pieces, you would be in stasis until sometime WAY WAY WAY in the future when it exploded.\n\nThen you would have to wait for a few billion years for something to evolve that would resemble something you would be comfortable with.

Not believed to max out as you say.  The diameter of the event horizon will keep expanding as new material is drawn in.  Stellar black holes are believed to be only a few miles across, while super-massive black holes comparable to the size of the solar system are believed to exist at the centers of some galaxies.

they become black holes

Just one doubt about your  theory,how do you know that only one big bang has taken place as you say that a second one is coming up???And tell me how you would accelerate something to the speed of light as the mass would become infinite.\nAnd according to your theory the total energy in the universe will go on increasing.You are stuck in a viscious circle!!!

it may be damaging effect on universe

unless this is a "zen" question, it doesn't "go" anywhere.  A black hole is a former star that has died and collapsed in upon itself and had its mass "infinitely" compressed into a tiny tiny volume.

yes, the big bang sent out matter, but black holes draw it in, therefore the two are different, no matter what reference they are taken in.  However, black holes have points of singularity, as did the big bang, right at the point of formation the universe was in singularity as time didn't exist. On the other hand, the big bang was seen as formation, and black holes are seen as destruction, sort of like ying and yang.

Natures answer to the Dyson vacuum cleaner, when the event horizon from 3 or more black holes collide, the combined mass is so great it will start to pull in all matter, all energy, and all time. When enough matter is in one place it becomes unstable, and threes a big bang, and the universe and time starts again!

there are problems in your theory... first what can be considered FIXED in the universe. nothing is fixed... its a relative term in this situation.  Also an unbreakable string is an impossibility. There is no such situation where something is completely unbreakable. Even the smallest particle can be broken by enough outside force. \n\n I would like to take your idea to a different level. Lets say it was possible to have an unbreakable string.  Send the ends of this string into 2 different black holes.  Visualize 2 black holes connect by a string.  To answer your first question about seeing the string... You would able to see it until it got to the point where the light wouldn't be able to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole... In theory if the string is unbreakable then it will be impervious to heat and pressure... so it wont melt and crush... Eventually the constant pressure on the string would bring the 2 black holes together. Until the combined gravitational pull of both black holes on each other cause a cataclysmic event where the combined speed and pull of the black holes would cause the entire universe to collapse on itself... and everything as we know it would cease to exist

When all matter, including light and time, is sucked into a black hole, an infinitely dense singularity occurs. With all this heavy-duty cosmic attraction going on, something has to give, right? Enter white holes. \n\nPut simply, the idea here is "what goes into a black hole must somehow come out." If a black hole tears the space-time fabric of "our universe" creating a wormhole, a white hole would be the entry point into the "other universe." Essentially, a white hole would be the mathematical exist that emits matter n light just opposite to black hole

Yeah, and that could lead to a chain reaction which could destroy the entire universe.
