Can black holes “eat” matter indefinitely or is there a limit? Do they ever have trouble absorbing large masses or is it always the same?

Answer 1

A black hole is a hole in visible light, not an actual hole. It’s a ball of mass, like a planet or a star, so dense that it’s gravity doesn’t allow light to escape.

Added mass only makes it bigger.
