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?

Doubtful, there is a finite amount of matter in the universe so they can only get so big. And the universe is expanding so the likelihood of all of them somehow coming together is probably nil.

The universe though is vast, and wouldn’t really care about some microscopic pinprick of gravity doing something in a forgotten corner as the black holes slowly evaporate.
