Because of this, black holes that do not gain mass through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish. For all except the smallest black holes, this would happen extremely slowly. The radiation temperature is inversely proportional to the black hole's mass, so [micro black holes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole "Micro black hole") are predicted to be larger emitters of radiation than larger black holes and should dissipate faster ![[DALL·E 2022-06-23 18.08.54 - A terrific black hole, by Picasso.png]] Where the [[Big bang]] is the beginning of [[Physic/Time|time]], **Black holes** are the end of time. ![[Pasted image 20220820081201.png]]
