Is The Known Universe Eventually Just Going To Eat Itself?

1.01K viewsOtherPhysics

I see, hear, and read about black holes and their consumption power often. They grow as they consume. Eventually, as they keep growing and consuming, wouldn’t they combine and continue the process until they become so large as to devour everything in existence?

They can’t really do that as the universe expands. They’ll be too far to merge.

They don’t suck everything in like a vacuum. If a black hole the mass of the sun was placed in the sun’s place, we wouldn’t see a gravitational difference. The planets would just move as normal, except freezing solid with the lack of sun.
