      So this is a really difficult question to answer because we don’t really know whether or not black holes ever stop existing. Some people think that black holes eventually evaporate as they stop eating material and then slowly and gently release something known as Hawking Radiation (named after Stephen Hawking, because he proposed it) before eventually evaporating.

      However, not everyone believes that! So we don’t really know whether or not black holes ever come to the end of their lives.
